With the help of Klüber
Lubrication, a major
bakery group has changed
its lubricants and application method,
resulting in reduced operating costs
on a crumpet production line.

Adoption of an automatic lubricating
system combined with a highperformance
chain oil has reduced
maintenance and lowered energy and
lubricant consumption.

Chains running in automatic
baking lines are exposed to regular
high temperatures – oil unable to
withstand these temperatures
evaporates rapidly and leaves hard
residues on the chain. This means the
chain must be frequently cleaned and
re-lubricated. The oil used should
therefore not only offer very good
wear protection but also have a low
evaporation rate and leave minimum
residues. It also has to meet stringent
food law regulations. The hightemperature
chain oil, Klüberfood
NH1 CH 2-220, fulfils all these needs.

The automatic lubricating system
applies oil for 15 minutes each day,
eliminating the manual lubrication
that previously took 48 man-hours
per year – reducing maintenance costs
and providing more reliable lubrication.

Lubricant consumption has
been reduced by almost 90%.
