As the market demand for high-quality animal feed increases, the feed mill industry must enhance the quality of its supporting factors in both production processes and machine maintenance. One essential supporting factor is the use of heat-resistant lubricants certified as food grade.

Moreover, the lubricants applied to pelletizer machines in a feed mill must withstand heavy loads and possess halal/halal grease certification to support and ensure the implementation of ISO 22000. It is crucial to note that feed mills not using heat-resistant and food-grade lubricants often face several detrimental issues.

Problems. Here are some problems that can arise from not using the appropriate lubricants (grease):

• Grease melting due to the absence of heat-resistant lubricants
• Resulting in the need for more frequent regreasing
• The more frequent the regreasing, the higher the costs for grease procurement (inefficient)
• Bearings in the pelletizer machine wear out quickly
• Consequently, bearings need to be replaced sooner than expected
• The quicker the bearing replacement, the higher the costs for bearing procurement and the longer the downtime/lost production that must be endured
• Not using food-grade grease means failing to comply with Food Safety ISO 22000
• As a result, the products you produce may not be safe for consumption, potentially leading to customer complaints
• Ultimately, operational costs increase while customer trust diminishes

Solution. To address these highly detrimental issues, the use of Molykote G-0051 FM is recommended. This is a superior heat-resistant lubricant from Eonchemicals with the following benefits and features:

• High heat resistance, up to 150 deg. C
• Food-grade grease NSFH-1
