DryFormance - Combines Water-free Conveyor Lubrication Technology
DryFormance™ combines water-free conveyor lubrication technology with packaging line engineering excellence to deliver against water reduction and health and safety targets as well as improving your overall operational efficiency and helping you to meet your sustainability commitments.
We provide an engineering solution to one of the most important yet misunderstood parts of running an efficient packaging operation by combining:
- Water-free, PTFE-free and silicone-free lubricant
- Optimised zonal distribution and volume control method
- Unique brush and insert application method
- Engineering expertise and service maintenance
Our system is responsive to run signals making sure that static conveyors are not being lubricated.
Application Method
Lubricant is secreted onto a soft, bristle brush causing the bristles to become coated in lube. This allows for an even distribution of lubricant across the entire conveyor belt and no excess ending up on the floor. Our brush assembly is designed with ease of servicing in mind.
Lubrication is also applied to the underside of the belt using application inserts. This reduces the coefficient of friction between the conveyor belt and the wear strip, reducing wear and tear of the belt. Additionally, it reduces the load on motors `pulling` conveyors along which are weighed down with filled containers. This reduces motor energy usage, carbon emissions and motor trips which could lead to an unplanned shut-down.
We work with on-site technical teams to ensure a smooth installation and commissioning program that fits in with existing production schedules and minimises disruption. Once up and running, your system is maintained by our experienced team of solutions providers who perform essential operating maintenance, such as replenishing lubricant volumes, measuring the coefficient of friction and adjusting dosage volumes. During their visits, they monitor product traffic behaviour and production performance as a method of preventative maintenance, but in many instances prove to be an extra pair of eyes on large sections of conveyorage which are regularly unmanned as a result of resource engineering pressures.
Using their packaging line knowledge gained from working across a wide range of food and beverage customers they will feedback advice on areas for improvement and optimization, keeping your site at the forefront of manufacturing excellence.
