Poultry cut-up machines
Cut-up machines from OEMs such as Baader, CFS and Carnitech are used to portion poultry at high speed. These systems operate under continuous cleaning, disinfectant exposure and heavy mechanical loads. Failures in bearings, chains and gearboxes reduce reliability, increase downtime and compromise hygiene.
Documented benefits
- 2–3× longer lifetime of bearings and chains in cut-up machines
- Reduced lubricant washout during high-pressure cleaning
- No routine gearbox oil changes → lower downtime and cost
- Improved hygiene: no oil or rust dripping near blades or cutting tables
- Proven performance in poultry plants using Baader, CFS and Carnitech machines
REAL RESULTS
Reduce grease consumption of bearings by 80 percent
Interflon Food Grease HD2 resists washdowns in poultry machines, cutting grease consumption by 80% and extending bearing lifetime.

Failures and Interflon solutions
- Bearings – grease washout in rotating blades and drive systems, premature seizure under shock loads.
→ Interflon Food Grease LT2 (for colder cut-up zones) or Interflon Food Grease HD2 (for humid and heavy-load cutting drives). Both water-resistant, remain in place under washdowns and shock loads, extending bearing lifetime and reducing relubrication. - Chains and drives – corrosion and stiff operation from constant washdowns and disinfectants.
→ Interflon Food Lube G220: fortified with MicPol® technology, penetrates deep into chain links and leaves a strongly adhesive dry film resistant to water, steam and disinfectants. Prevents rust and stiff operation, proven to extend chain life. - Gearboxes – oil leakage and overheating, frequent oil changes, contamination risk.
→ Interflon Food Grease HD00 or Interflon Food Lube G220: replace conventional oils in cut-up machine gearboxes. Eliminate routine oil changes, reduce leakage, lower operating temperature and deliver up to 3% energy savings. - Hygiene risks – lubricant washout or dripping oil near cutting stations, creating audit non-conformities.
→ Interflon Metal Clean, Interflon Degreaser EM30+, Power Wipes: safely remove fat, meat residues and old grease without harmful deposits. Support hygiene and HACCP/BRC audit compliance.
All lubricants are PFAS-free and NSF H1 certified (Halal & Kosher). Cleaning products are PFAS-free and carry the appropriate NSF cleaner categories (e.g., A1/K1/K3). See product pages for the exact category.
