What are the needs of a maintenance manager of a food and beverage plant? Exactly the same as the needs of maintenance managers and engineers everywhere. They want their plants to run as smoothly and efficiently as possible. They also have the added responsibility of ensuring that the production managers need for food safety is met. This can be done by using the Lubrichem full range of top quality NSF H1 registered products. When we received a call from a global drinks producer, their needs were taken into consideration in addressing the problem. Originally the company was using a competitor’s product to lubricate the chains under high temperature, and had to reapply the lubricant every 4 days after hours of cleaning to remove the black sticky gummy residue from the chains. Due to the mixture of lubricant with others turning to a sticky grinding paste, the chains had to be replaced every two months because of wear! Our distributor recommended Lubrichem Chain oil FM HT to lubricate the chains, which offered a solution to the gumming problems because the product dissolves the remains, while leaving behind an invisible coating to prevent further remains sticking to the chains. The product’s low viscosity enables penetration into the chain’s pins and rollers
