In the beverage and dairy industries, high-pressure homogenisation is a key function of the production process. Homogenisers are both expected to run efficiently and ensure reliable operation. As part of energy management, energy efficiency is particularly in the focus.
Together with Klüber Lubrication, the DMK plant at Zeven reviewed all its applications with a view to potential for optimisation. The review had the following objectives:
- Save energy by changing over to a high-performance lubricating oil
- Extend maintenance intervals
- Reduce risk of production contamination with industrial lubricants through use of registered NSF H1 lubricants
- Reduce total costs in the plant
