Food
Reliable and safe solutions
Less administration, better performance
The time available for proper maintenance is often limited. And proper lubrication is not on everyone’s priority list, even though you know that the consequences for the reliability of the production lines can be significant. Ensuring this type of work for food safety is not always easy, either. Attention to lubrication maintenance increases as more knowledge becomes available, and you receive some assistance along the way. We are happy to discuss this further. The Van Meeuwen team often visits many production companies in the dairy, beverage, and fruit and vegetable sectors, among others. Utilising our expertise, services, software, and products related to lubrication technology, we can work together to enhance the reliability of your machinery and reduce administrative burdens.
A few challenges
One of the many challenges in the food sector is the effective cleaning protocol. Large amounts of water and cleaning agents end up in places where you would rather not have them. Regular checks and action take time. Extreme heat and cold are also factors to consider in the lubrication schedule, which determines the choice of lubricant and frequency based on practical conditions. The administrative burden can be reduced by using the digital tool S)MAXX. You can turn to us for almost any topic related to industrial lubrication.
What do all registrations mean?
3H, H2, A1 – there are many classifications. How can you be certain that a lubricant is truly food-safe? It starts with choosing the right classification: opt for H1-registered lubricating oils, greases and degreasers. These products have been specifically designed for use in and around food processing facilities. An H1 registration indicates that, when used correctly, the lubricant may occasionally come into contact with food to a limited extent without posing any health risks.
This makes H1 lubricants the reliable choice for critical areas in your production process where food safety is always paramount.
The basics: a good lubrication schedule
How can you use lubrication maintenance to ensure that machines continue to run as long and reliably as possible? There are various ways, of course, but one of the most important is to use a well-thought-out lubrication schedule. We therefore devote all our time and attention to drawing up these schedules, so that we can provide each customer with the most comprehensive schedule possible.
With a comprehensive lubrication schedule, you can prepare, plan, manage, execute, monitor and record lubrication-related activities. By recording lubrication activities, you also build a history that allows you to easily find information, for example, during audits. Would you like to know more about the possibilities?
