Consistent lubrication is vital to the life of bearings, gears and chains. Like any mechanical system, moving parts in a food and beverage plant need proper lubrication to function optimally. Contamination, moisture, high temperatures and humidity are all threats to bearing, chain and gear service life. Failure to properly lubricate each lubrication point on every machine can have a negative impact on schedules, maintenance costs and machine performance. Poor lubrication causes about 36% of all premature bearing failures, but with the right lubrication solution you can create new opportunities to increase uptime and productivity.
Automatic lubrication systems supply the correct amount of grease at the best time to lubricate – while the bearing is in motion. Frequent lubrication maintains the proper lubricant film to reduce wear, as well as purges the pins and bushings of contaminants.
Friction and wear occur across the entire delivery chain. Efficient lubrication is critical for each rotating machine component, and chains and conveyors need special treatment. Independent from your final product, SKF lubrication solutions support all moving parts in your machines. SKF offers a complete selection of high-performance progressive, single-line, dual-line and chain lubrication systems for the food and beverage industry, which are tailored to the customer’s specific requirements.
