Lubrication of bearings

Challenge: Bearing failure due to lubrication failure

The customer's capping machine has eight bearings that require manual lubrication. Excessive lubrication of the bearings contaminated the oil that was lubricating the gears. To avoid this contamination, the bearings were not lubricated, leading to premature failures.

 

Our solution

We recommended implementing a centralised system and applying Interflon Food Grease MP2.

The result

Thanks to the installation of a centralised system and the use of high-performance grease, the following was achieved:

  • Elimination of excess lubrication and contamination
  • Reduction in lubricant consumption by 75%
  • Prevention of premature bearing failure
