Lubrication for poultry evisceration machines
Evisceration machines from OEMs such as Meyn, Stork and Marel remove organs automatically at high speed. These systems operate in wet, contaminated environments with blood, fat and disinfectants. Failures in chains, bearings and gearboxes cause unplanned stoppages, higher spare part costs and hygiene risks.
Typical results
- 2–3× longer lifetime of chains and bearings in evisceration machines
- Reduced lubricant washout during high-pressure cleaning
- No routine gearbox oil changes → lower downtime and cost
- Improved hygiene: no oil or rust dripping into carcass flow
- Proven performance in poultry plants using Meyn, Stork and Marel evisceration systems
Failures and Interflon solutions
- Chains and drives – corrosion and stiff operation from constant washdowns and disinfectants.
→ Interflon Food Lube G150* is fortified with MicPol® technology. It penetrates into chain links and forms a durable, water-resistant lubrication film that withstands washdowns, prevents corrosion and keeps evisceration drives running smoothly. - Bearings – grease washout in moving units, premature seizure due to moisture and contamination.
→ Interflon Food Grease LT2 for cold or wet areas, or Food Grease HD2 for hot, humid and high-load evisceration zones. Both water- and shock-resistant, staying in place during washdowns, extending bearing life and reducing relubrication. - Gearboxes – leakage, overheating, routine oil changes, contamination risk.
→ Interflon Food Grease HD00 is the preferred lubricant for poultry evisceration gearboxes. Interflon Food Lube G220 can be used in non-automatic gearbox systems where temperatures allow. Both replace conventional oils, eliminate routine oil changes, reduce leakage, lower temperature and cut energy use. - Hygiene risks – dripping oil or rust water onto carcasses, leading to audit non-conformities.
→ Interflon Metal Clean F, Interflon Degreaser EM30+, Power Wipes: remove fat, blood residues and old grease without leaving harmful deposits. Support hygiene and 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.

* While Interflon Food Lube G150 is our primary recommendation for most poultry chain applications, Interflon Food Lube G220 can be an excellent alternative for slightly higher mechanical loads or short-term temperature peaks, where appropriate for the equipment and lubrication system.
Thanks to its higher viscosity and strong adhesion, Food Lube G220 is also well suited as a rationalisation product.
