Lubricants typically make up only about 1% of the average company’s total operating costs. But this relatively small amount can earn a tremendous return for your company’s bottom line. The surprising truth is that the lubricants a company chooses can have a significant impact on high-visibility and high-value line items such as energy, labor and equipment costs.
Food-grade, food-plant, NSF certified, FDA listed, USDA registered—the list of lubricant terms seems to go on and on. Trying to sift through the terminology, standards and best practices for properly lubricating machines can be overwhelming for facility managers. However, correctly lubricating equipment is essential to any operation’s success.
A leading condiment manufacturer that runs multiple bottling lines and pack lines was not utilizing a total lubrication program for its plant equipment. The plant contained the filling, capping, palletizing and conveying equipment on the packaging side and mixing and blending equipment on the processing side.
