Lubrication for poultry offal processing lines
Offal processing lines handle delicate by-products such as heart, liver and lungs. These systems operate in extremely wet, contaminated and heavily cleaned environments. Chains, bearings and gearboxes in offal conveyors and processing units often fail prematurely due to constant exposure to blood, fat, water and disinfectants. Failures here cause downtime, product losses and hygiene risks.
Typical results
- 2–3× longer lifetime of chains and bearings in offal lines
- Reduced lubricant washout during daily washdowns
- No routine gearbox oil changes → less downtime and lower costs
- Improved hygiene: no oil or rust dripping into offal products
- Proven reliability in poultry plants across Europe
Failures and Interflon solutions
- Chains and drives – corrosion and stiff operation from constant washdowns and disinfectants.
→ IInterflon Food Lube G150 is fortified with MicPol® technology. It provides light penetration into chain links and forms a durable, water-resistant lubrication film that withstands continuous washdowns, prevents corrosion, keeps chains moving smoothly and extends chain lifetime. - Heavy-duty dumper chains – high load, contamination and water exposure.
→ Interflon Food Lube G220 can be used for non-overhead, heavy-duty dumper chains. It forms a durable, strongly adhesive lubrication film that withstands washdowns, prevents corrosion and reduces relubrication frequency. - Bearings – grease washout and premature failure under high-pressure cleaning and contamination.
→ Interflon Food Grease LT2 (for colder areas) or Food Grease HD2 (for humid and heavy-load offal processing zones). Both are water- and shock-resistant, remaining in place during washdowns, extending lifetime and reducing relubrication intervals. - Gearboxes – oil leakage and overheating, frequent oil changes, contamination risk.
→ Interflon Food Grease HD00 is the preferred lubricant for cut-up machine 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 operating temperature and deliver up to 3% energy savings.
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.
