A beverage manufacturer was able to significantly reduce its operating costs by implementing an SKF progressive lubrication system. Thanks to the new solution, the bottling lines run more reliably, maintenance costs have been reduced, and production downtime has dropped dramatically. The company now saves a total of around €30,000 annually.
In addition to the financial benefits, the new lubrication system offers other advantages:
✔ Increased productivity and profitability
✔ Less downtime and lower repair costs
✔ Increased occupational safety
✔ Risk-free high-pressure cleaning
Reliable lubrication for humid production environments
The company's bottling lines operate in demanding conditions – high humidity and regular cleaning required a robust lubrication system. The previous solution was increasingly failing, leading to frequent bearing failures and costly downtime.
SKF analyzed the problem and determined that the old system had become unusable due to corrosion. The experts recommended an automatic progressive lubrication system made of stainless steel, specifically designed for such environments. Following the successful implementation, the operator now plans to modernize the lubrication systems of its packaging lines.
