Application background
Heat, high pressure, contaminants, and moisture can reduce the effectiveness of lubricants in the pelletizer. Once a failure occurs, wear and corrosion will intensify, resulting in expensive unplanned downtime. The food safe lubricant produced by FRTLUBE special lubrication factory can effectively improve the performance and service life of granulator equipment beyond the usual acceptable limits.
In the application of animal feed pellet mills, the continuous presence of heat, high pressure, contaminants, and sometimes moisture can reduce the performance of lubricants. They all break down the grease that protects the equipment from metal-to-metal contact. Once lubricant failure occurs, wear and corrosion intensify, resulting in costly unplanned downtime. Using our FRTLUBE food grade grease can improve the performance and service life of granulator equipment, exceeding the usual accepted limits.
Identify pain points
With our more than 20 years of lubrication experience, technical expertise, and comprehensive range of enhanced NSF H1 food grade grease, we can help you understand and lubricate the performance of oil and identify problems encountered during production.
For example, pain points include:
*Excessive or insufficient lubrication
*Applications using inferior lubricants
*Failure to prevent or remove contaminants
*Relying on inconsistent manual lubrication when automated systems can produce better results
After assessing your situation, we will provide a phased improvement plan based on your budget to extend component life, reduce lubricant consumption, improve food safety, and reduce costs.
Provide solutions
PAIN POINT 1: SHORT LIFE OF COMPONENTS, EQUIPMENT FAILURE AND OTHER PROBLEMS
Pelletizer operators often over-grease in order to better lubricate the bearings, and they may use insufficient amounts of grease or use grease containing the wrong base oil to effectively lubricate the bearings. Over-lubrication or using the wrong type will result in purchasing more grease than needed each year. Contaminants that are not prevented or removed can also cause malfunctions and unexpected downtime.
Solution: We will conduct an on-site equipment assessment to ensure the use of the correct Food Safe Grease, the correct dosage, the correct replenishment interval, and the correct usage method. Then determine the brand and model of the granulator, the bearing part number, the operating parameters, and the current lubrication method. Based on the load, temperature, speed, and environment of each piece of equipment, our technical service team will recommend the most beneficial lubricant, lubrication interval, quantity, and usage method. In addition, our team will provide cost analysis to determine whether the proposal is meaningful in terms of cost control. Pain point 2: Insufficient protection provided by lubricating grease
Bearing failure is a common but avoidable problem in pelletizers; The right grease can make a huge difference. It must be able to cope with difficult conditions such as severe particle contamination, high temperatures, extreme pressures, and humidity – all of which can affect the effectiveness of the grease.
Solution: FRTLUBE EP800 food grade high temperature grease is formulated for bearings running in or near heat generating equipment and will not cause the grease to melt and flow out of the bearing due to high temperatures. This long-lasting, non-melting grease has the appropriate base oil viscosity and wear-reducing additives to significantly resist oxidation, evaporation and bleed-out of the bearing. It has been successfully used in pelletizers around the world and has been proven to extend re-lubrication intervals and reduce grease consumption. | Product | Appearance | TempRange (℃) | NLGI |
