Poultry quality and hygiene control
Quality and hygiene control is the final step in poultry processing. Systems such as metal detectors, X-ray scanners and hygiene sluices ensure food safety and audit compliance. While detection units have limited moving parts, hygiene sluices and access systems include chains, bearings and gear drives that operate under constant washdowns and disinfectants. Failures here cause access delays, stoppages and audit risks.
Documented benefits
- Reliable operation of hygiene sluices and QA equipment
- 2–3× longer lifetime of chains and bearings in QA systems
- No oil dripping in critical QA zones → improved audit compliance
- Reduced downtime from sluice and access failures
Failures and Interflon solutions
- Chains and rollers – corrosion and stiff operation in hygiene sluices under washdowns.
→ Interflon Food Lube G220: leaves a dry lubrication film with MicPol® technology film that resists disinfectants and washdowns. Prevents corrosion and stiff movement in sluice chains and rollers. - Bearings – grease washout in sluice doors, rollers and small conveyor systems.
→ Interflon Food Grease LT2 (for colder areas) or Food Grease HD2 (for humid and high-load access systems). Both water-resistant, staying in place during high-pressure cleaning, extending bearing lifetime and reducing relubrication. - Gear drives – leakage and overheating in sluice motors or access turnstiles.
→ Interflon Food Grease HD00: replaces conventional oils in small sluice gear drives. Prevents leakage, eliminates oil changes and reduces failure risk. - Hygiene risks – dripping oil or grease in critical QA zones, risking audit failures.
→ Interflon Metal Clean F, Interflon Degreaser EM30+ and Power Wipes: safe cleaners that remove residues without leaving harmful deposits. Support hygiene and HACCP/BRC 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.
