Filling machines

Lubricating filling machines in the beverage industry is vital as they operate at high speeds, require extreme precision, and high durability of components. Additionally, it is a critical point in terms of food safety, as the packaged product could be exposed to lubricant contamination.

Challenges associated with these conditions range from contamination and premature wear of mechanisms to the need to maintain productivity without interruptions and ensuring safe lubrication operation for the packaged product.

Interflon addresses these challenges by providing lubrication solutions that meet the specific demands of fillers, including the use of lubricants in minimal quantities, to ensure efficient and reliable operation in the beverage industry.

Challenge 1: Extend the life of the centre bearings and their seals (O-rings)

The result

Thanks to Interflon's solution the customer:

Gained USD 23,000 a year worth of machine uptime
Reduced lubricant consumption by 35%
Saved USD 9,000 a year on lubricant

Challenge 2: Improve operation, reduce contamination and increase lifespan of open gears

The lubricant used by the customer did not adhere well to the gear, contaminating the floor. Constant relubrication was needed, resulting in high lubricant consumption.
