In the animal feed pellet manufacturing sector, the use of food-grade lubricants is not just a matter of choice; it is a regulatory mandate in the UK. As the industry focuses on maintaining food integrity and safety, the adoption of food-grade lubricants is gaining prominence.
This article explores the benefits of food-grade lubricants, the importance of a reliability-centred maintenance approach, and highlights Activate Lubricants' leading solution – Activate Foodcare Pelletex.
Regulatory Compliance:
The UK animal pellet feed sector operates under strict regulations, necessitating the use of food-grade lubricants. These regulations aim to ensure the safety and integrity of the food supply chain, addressing concerns related to contamination and potential harm to animals and consumers. Failure to comply with these regulations can result in severe consequences for manufacturers, including fines and brand reputation damage.
Reliability-Centred Maintenance Approach:
To avoid reliability issues stemming from the use of cheap, inferior, or non-fit-for-purpose food-grade lubricants, it is crucial for manufacturers to partner with expert lubrication solutions providers. A reliability-centred maintenance approach involves selecting the right lubricants, monitoring their performance, and implementing proactive maintenance strategies to prevent breakdowns. This approach not only ensures compliance with regulations but also contributes to increased operational reliability and efficiency.
Return on Investment:
Investing in a dedicated lubrication improvement plan, coupled with the use of premium synthetic products like Activate Foodcare Pelletex, yields a significant return on investment. The cost savings achieved through increased reliability, reduced downtime, and extended machinery life far outweigh the initial investment in high-quality lubricants. This approach not only enhances the overall efficiency of feed mills but also contributes to a more sustainable and cost-effective production process.
