The food and beverage industry is one of the most essential of all industries. It’s also one that requires high output and minimal downtime to meet demand, all while ensuring food safety. The food and beverage industry’s secret weapon? Automatic lubrication systems. In this post, the LH Travis team will take a deep dive into how automatic lubrication helps the food and beverage industry keep things rolling, while maintaining food hygiene. 

Keeping Your Food and Drink Safe

As with any other industry, the food and beverage industry relies on all manner of complex equipment. And this equipment, like any other, requires regular lubrication. But downtime is extra costly in the food and beverage world; not only does it make it hard to meet demand, it can also lead to food spoilage and other forms of loss.

With automatic lubrication, downtime is substantially decreased. They provide the ideal amount of lubrication at exactly the right time so essential equipment can do its job. Not only does this mean equipment can be lubricated without stopping equipment but it also cuts down on breakdowns and maintenance, even further decreasing downtime. 

Efficiency isn’t the only concern for food and beverage; hygiene is also key. With a well-maintained automatic lubrication system, food is kept safe from leaks and other forms of contamination that can threaten the safety of consumers. Manual lubrication can lead to unintended spills and spread other forms of contamination like bacteria, but the closed systems of automatic lubrication don’t have these issues. Plus, they improve worker safety, as manual lubrication can often be a risky task. 

For even better safety, a quality lubrication program will use food grade lubricants with their automatic lubrication system. That way, the chances of contamination are minimized to nearly 0.
