The dryer in the production of desiccated coconut is an essential device used to dry grated coconut to a very low moisture content. This drying process is crucial to ensure the grated coconut has a long shelf life and maintains its quality.

The dryer operates by using hot air that is evenly circulated to remove moisture from the grated coconut without damaging its texture or nutrients. Proper temperature and humidity control are critical in this process to avoid poor product quality.

1. Problem: Grease Hardens or Melts Easily, Frequent Bearing Replacement

In the use of dryers for desiccated coconut production, a common issue is that the grease on the bearings tends to harden or melt easily. This leads to frequent bearing damage or wear, necessitating more frequent replacements.

This problem is caused by significant temperature fluctuations during the drying process, resulting in decreased lubrication performance.

Frequent bearing replacements not only increase maintenance costs and production downtime but also disrupt operational efficiency and the quality of the final product..

Solution: LE Lubricant

LE Lubricant grease is an effective solution to address the issue of grease hardening or melting easily in the dryer bearings used in your desiccated coconut production industry.

LE Lubricant, also known as Lubrication Engineers, is designed to withstand the extreme temperatures encountered during the drying process, maintaining lubrication consistency and effectiveness.

With a special formulation that provides superior protection against friction and wear, LE Lubricant extends bearing life and reduces replacement frequency. This not only cuts maintenance costs and downtime but also ensures more efficient and reliable drying operations, supporting consistent final product quality.

2. Problem: Frequent Oil Changes

Another common issue with the use of dryers in desiccated coconut production is the need for frequent oil changes. The oil in the dryer often needs to be replaced due to rapid degradation caused by high temperatures and heavy operational conditions.

Frequent oil changes not only increase oil procurement costs but also result in significant downtime, disrupting the continuity of the production process.
It should be noted that frequent oil changes indicate the oil’s inability to maintain its quality and performance under high-temperature and high-speed operational conditions.

Solution: Lubrication Engineers (LE) Oil

Lubrication Engineers (LE) Oil is an effective solution to the problem of frequent oil changes in dryer machines used in your desiccated coconut production industry.

This product is specially formulated to provide exceptional resistance to high temperatures and heavy operational conditions, thus slowing down oil degradation. With better durability, LE Oil maintains lubrication quality for a longer period, reducing the frequency of oil changes and minimizing downtime.
