Safety and sustainability improvements with food-grade lubricants

摘要

With line speeds in excess of 2,000 cans or bottles a minute,everyrnpiece of equipment in a beverage manufacturing line requires lubrication for speed, performance and endurance. Lubricants enhance productivity and cost efficiencies by offering equipment protection through dissipating heat, providing barriers to friction and allowing smooth movement of parts.rnAs part of beverage processing, lubricants also must adhere to food safety practices. Food-grade lubricants are critical on pieces of equipment such as fillers and seamers, which need lubrication to operate quickly and also are critical contact points between machinery and open containers.
