Lubricants in the brewing Industry

brewing

There are lubrication points at every stage of the process from malting and crushing through to labelling and packaging, each one with its own specific lubrication requirements. Your lubricant supplier should be able to recommend the best product for each lubrication point.

Fermentation stage
For example, at the fermentation stage where you find hydraulics in the separators and filter presses, we recommend using Anderol®’s FGH 46 or 68 hydraulic lubricants.

Labelling and packaging
At the labelling and packaging step, whether using kegs, bottles or cans, the gear boxes, conveyors and roller bearings in your equipment must be lubricated with food grade lubricants and here we recommend various lubricants including Anderol® 6000 series gear oil for gears and Anderol® FGCS 2 (HD) water resistant calcium sulfonate greases for the roller bearings.
