Evolve your systems

A significant step change from traditional lubrication, the Dry Lube System takes minor quantities of Food Grade approved oil lubricant and pumps it onto the conveyor through a distribution manifold.

The benefits of the Dry Lube System are;

• Elimination of water.
• Elimination of effluent.
• Elimination of bacterial build-ups.
• Elimination of bad odours.
• Elimination of high friction between bottles and belt.
• Elimination of slip and trip incidents around the lines.

The savings from the Dry Lube System come from;

The drawbacks of water-based systems:

A traditional water based system delivers a water based soap solution directly onto the lines on a continuous basis at concentrate levels of about 0.25%-2%. The water and soap solution is then collected in drip trays and disposed of through the drainage and effluent system.

The drawbacks of traditional water based lubrication

• The quantity of water used for lubrication equates to an additional 100ml per litre of product.
• Overflowing drip trays mean the floor area around the packaging lines is covered in soapy deposits and froth causing hazardous working conditions.
• Effluent treatment of waste water solution is required before disposal.
• Poor control of friction between the container and the belt.
• Lines need to be regularly cleaned to remove build up of soap deposits and bacteria, which results from water.
• High levels of friction between bottles and belts causing product losses, damage and more conveyor downtime.
• Unpleasant odours resulting from build-up of bacteria and damp working conditions.
• Expensive
