Over the next four years, the food-grade lubricant market is expected to grow by $40.8 million at a compound annual growth rate of 3 percent, according to Technavio Research. Why? Preventing food contamination is big business.
Keeping equipment properly lubricated is vital if plant operators are to maximize the life of technologies and enjoy optimal output with limited downtime. Analysts say the best way to do this is by implementing a strict lubrication regimen.
Fantastic Synthetics stated it had an amazing show at the Process Expo this past October and recognizes that food processing is a very exciting and demanding industry.
Because there are different types of lubricants that a facility may use, it's key for plant and production managers to have an understanding of lubricant uses and the benefits of their implementation for product longevity and food safety.
These new industrial lubricants are part of a series of multipurpose mineral oil lubricants that are NSF H1 registered for use where incidental food contact may occur.
Machine lubrication is crucial if meat and poultry processors are to sustain operating efficiencies and maximize revenues. Yet it is an element many plant managers neglect.
It is important to understand the benefits that can come from a single-point automatic lubricator (SPAL), not only from a maintenance and safety standpoint, but also from a quality and reliability standpoint.
Unlike silicone emulsion products, Super Can Lube KW contains no water and does not require water for dilution, so it reduces the risk of microbial growth while reducing belt drag.
