At Anuga FoodTec, Klüber Lubrication presents new and innovative ways of making applications in the food industry more efficient and sustainable. With lubricants, services and digital solutions from the expert in specialty lubricants, companies in the food industry are well prepared for both daily operations and an audit or hazard analysis.
Lubricant change with measurable savings: Energy Performance Contracting
Companies are increasingly under pressure to produce more efficiently. In addition, they have to meet legal as well as their own requirements in terms of sustainability and environmental protection. Specialty lubricants from Klüber Lubrication provide a remedy here – for example by preventing corrosion and wear of industrial equipment. In addition, these high-performance lubricants extend relubrication intervals and thus reduce waste.
It is therefore worthwhile for companies to switch their equipment from mineral-oil-based lubricants to specialty lubricants from Klüber Lubrication. With the EPC offer – Energy Performance Contracting – the lubricant expert supports its customers in the changeover to a customised specialty lubricant. Thanks to the new pricing model, they do not take any financial risk in terms of energy efficiency. The price of the lubricant is based on the actual, measurable savings in energy consumption.
Understand and minimise risks of MOSH/MOAH contamination
MOSH/MOAH contamination issues continue to unsettle food manufacturers and plant managers. They may lead to costly product recalls or permanently damage a company’s reputation.
“Our high-performance lubricants directly influence both productivity and food safety – through regular lubricant analyses, for example, which help to identify and eliminate the risk of MOSH/MOAH contamination at an early stage”, explains Paolo Spolaore, Global Head of Foof Industry at Klüber Lubrication. “As such, they play a key role in helping those responsible for operations to worry less about MOSH/MOAH.”
Professional lubricant management and the use of state-of-the-art high-performance synthetic lubricants can significantly reduce the risk of contamination, for example by: achieving better compatibility with sealing materials that prevent accidental leakage, reducing the amount of lubricant per tonne of food produced, introducing automatic minimum quantity lubrication systems, training maintenance and production staff in particular to understand the safest lubrication processes.
Digital solutions for tomorrow’s maintenance management
High plant availability paired with cost efficiency – plant managers are responsible for ensuring that plants are in optimal shape. Lubrication points must be kept in view, maintenance cycles must be planned in good time and wear must be detected at an early stage.
Klüber Lubrication supports all these tasks with digital solutions for Total Productive Management (TPM). This service creates the optimal basis for highly efficient maintenance processes and enables companies to continuously analyse the condition of their equipment and thus maintain a central overview of all related lubrication tasks and data.
The new RemoteExperts help quickly and directly
Finding solutions to all questions immediately without time delay or spatial restrictions – the new RemoteExperts from Klüber Lubrication make it possible. The HoloLense is a pair of mixed reality glasses that enables remote access to users’ equipment and installations via visual inspection technology. This allows recommendations to be made quickly and directly without time or location constraints.
“Our new HoloLense enables the global networking of our experts, service engineers and other technical specialists live on-site at the customer’s premises,” explains Paolo Spolaore. “Users thus not only receive optimal competent support, all delays due to possible travel times are also eliminated. This optimises processes and reduces any downtimes.”
On site in Hall 4.1, Stand B039 as well as at the digital trade fair stand Anuga FoodTec@home, the experts from Klüber Lubrication will answer all questions on current topics such as energy efficiency, MOSH/MOAH and the reduction of total operating costs.
