Lubrication of belts
Challenge 1: Eliminate the use of water for the lubrication of bottle transport equipment
The result
Thanks to Interflon, the following was achieved:
- Elimination of the use of potable water for lubrication, saving 4,000 litres per month
- Extended lifespan of the belts by reducing wear
- Prevention of residue and bacteria formation from water
- Improved plant safety by eliminating water on floors
Challenge 2: Improve product sliding
Bottles were getting stuck on the conveyor belt due to friction between the bottles and the sides of the conveyor belt. This caused blockages and stains.
Our solution
We recommended applying Interflon Slide Wax Dry, our long-lasting dry lubricant engineered for smoothening sliding surfaces.
The result
Applying Interflon Slide Wax Dry:
- improved the movement of bottles
- reduced downtime due to line blockages by 10%
- prevented stains on bottles
- reduced contamination with dust
