Expected annual savings exceeding € 19,000
Lubrication of components of a bottle labeling machine
Initial situation
Our customer operates in the beverage sector, specifically in the production of canned and bottled soft drinks.
Their labeling machine's carousel exhibited intense vibrations during operation. The operating technicians expressed concerns that these vibrations could lead to component breakages over time, resulting in costly production stoppages and repairs. The need for increased production, demanding a higher speed of approximately 15,000 bottles per hour, further exacerbated the vibrations and noise of the carousel.
Our solution
To address these issues, we recommended using Interflon Food Lube (aerosol).
Advantages
Implementing Interflon Food Lube provides the following advantages:
- Reduction of vibration and noise from the carousel: The use of this lubricant significantly reduces vibrations and noise during carousel operation.
- Prevention of bottling machine malfunction: By mitigating vibrations, the risk of component breakages and associated production stoppages is minimized.
- Lower environmental impact: Interflon Food Lube promotes a greener approach, contributing to a lower environmental impact.
- Safer working environment for operators: The reduction in vibrations not only improves machine performance but also enhances the safety of the working environment for operators.
Result
Thanks to Interflon's unique MicPol® technology, the vibrations and noise of the carousel have been drastically reduced, enabling the labeller to work optimally. The operator's satisfaction and astonishment with the results were evident, leading him to expressly request that the supply of Interflon lubricants continue.
Based on avoiding even a single production stop of one day, the expected annual savings exceed €19,000. This significant cost-saving demonstrates the efficiency and effectiveness of our solution, which ensures smoother operations, increased safety, and a more sustainable approach to production in the beverage industry.
