Lubrication for poultry washing and cleaning systems
Poultry washing and cleaning systems, such as hook and chain washers, are exposed to continuous water, disinfectants and high-pressure cleaning. These extreme conditions cause lubricant washout in chains, bearings and gearboxes. Failures here not only stop production but also compromise hygiene and audit compliance.
Documented benefits
- Up to 2–3× longer lifetime of chains and bearings in washing systems
- Reduced lubricant washout, even under high-pressure cleaning
- No routine gearbox oil changes → less downtime and lower cost
- Improved hygiene: no dripping oil or rust water on cleaned hooks or chains
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
- Chains – corrosion and stiff operation due to constant water and chemical exposure.
→ IInterflon Food Lube G220: fortified with MicPol® technology, penetrates chain links and leaves a strongly adhesive dry film resistant to water, steam and disinfectants. Prevents rust and stiff operation in hook and chain washers. - Bearings – grease washout in rollers and cleaning unit drives, premature failure under washdowns.
→ Interflon Food Grease LT2 (for cold and wet cleaning zones) or Food Grease HD2 (for hot and humid areas). Both water-resistant, staying in place even during high-pressure cleaning, extending bearing lifetime and reducing relubrication. - Gearboxes – leakage, overheating, frequent oil changes, contamination risk.
→ Interflon Food Grease HD00 or Interflon Food Lube G220: replace conventional oils in cleaning unit gearboxes. Eliminate routine oil changes, reduce leakage, lower operating temperature and save up to 3% energy. - Hygiene risks – excess grease or rust water dripping onto cleaned hooks or chains, creating audit non-conformities.
→ Interflon Metal Clean F, Interflon Degreaser EM30+, Power Wipes: remove old grease, rust and residues safely, without harmful deposits. Support hygiene standards and HACCP/BRC audits.
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.
