Cold temps, high humidity, and high-pressure water/sanitizing spray defeat many lubricants. Not Interflon!
Lubricating a Marel Sorting System
Initial Situation
This large North Carolina poultry processing plant had been lubricating their Marel sorting system every week. The machine required 5 to 7 pumps of lubricant per bearing. The bearings were subjected to a lot of water, as well as a harsh, daily chemical sanitizing regime.
This was proving to be expensive and time-consuming, and like all of Interflon’s soon-to-be clients, they wanted a solution… one that was not just cheaper, but better, too.
Our Solution
We recommended Interflon Food Grease HD2 with MicPol®. The 'HD' stands for Heavy Duty. This grease has a multitude of uses and is especially good at repelling water.
Results
- Grease consumption cut by 75%
- Labor expenses on this machine cut by 80%
- Client now uses Interflon products throughout the plant
