In the food and dairy industry, ensuring the quality and safety of products is of utmost importance.
As a result, manufacturers must adhere to strict regulations set by the FDA to ensure that their products meet the highest standards. Fasteners play a crucial role in maintaining the integrity of the machines used in food and dairy manufacturing, and choosing the right lubricant is essential to prevent contamination and ensure smooth operations. In this article, we will discuss why Lubrinox Lubricated Fasteners are the perfect choice for food and dairy machine manufacturers, including their FDA approval and ability to prevent galling.
Lubrinox Lubricated Fasteners are specially designed fasteners that come pre-coated with a proprietary lubricant. This lubricant is a dry film lubricant, which means that it is applied as a thin layer and provides long-lasting protection against friction, wear, and corrosion. Lubrinox Lubricated Fasteners are available in a variety of sizes and styles, making them suitable for use in a wide range of applications.
In the food and dairy industry, any materials that come into contact with food products must be FDA-approved. This includes fasteners used in food and dairy machines. Lubrinox Lubricated Fasteners are FDA-approved, making them safe and suitable for use in food and dairy manufacturing applications.
Galling is a common problem that occurs when fasteners are subjected to high levels of friction and wear. It happens when two surfaces rub against each other and cause the material to transfer from one surface to the other, resulting in damage to both surfaces. Galling can cause fasteners to seize up and fail, leading to costly repairs and downtime.
Lubrinox Lubricated Fasteners are designed to prevent galling by providing a protective layer between the fastener and the mating surface. The dry film lubricant used on Lubrinox Lubricated Fasteners provides a low friction coefficient, reducing the amount of friction and wear that occurs during operation. This not only extends the life of the fastener but also reduces the risk of contamination from worn or damaged fasteners.
Here are some of the benefits of using Lubrinox Lubricated Fasteners in food and dairy machines:
Lubrinox Lubricated Fasteners are the perfect choice for food and dairy machine manufacturers who want to ensure the safety and quality of their products. With FDA approval and the ability to prevent galling, Lubrinox Lubricated Fasteners offer a range of benefits, including reduced downtime, increased safety, long-lasting protection, and versatility.
