Expected savings exceeding € 60.000,- in 12 months
Lubrication of the fryer mesh plain bearings
Initial situation
Sector: food, French fries products
Several tons of potatoes are processed every day through 4 main phases.
In the first phase the potatoes are selected and transported to the washing phase and the return bearings are the first components to be constantly stressed.
After that, during the cooking phase, the bearings of the mesh conveyor surfaces of the fryers are subjected to intense work rates and very aggressive operating conditions which are the main cause of production stops that occur with a certain frequency.
Even just a few hours of downtime corresponds to a productive damage of tens of thousands of euros.
