Are there advantages to controlled lubricator systems?
Yes. Controlled lubricator systems automatically apply a precise distribution of lubrication to parts and components. When applying lubrication manually, the lack of control can result in inconsistent distribution, potentially causing product contamination and accelerated wear. JBT FoodTech offers an 8-point lubrication system for its GYRoCOMPACT® freezers to quickly and evenly distribute lubrication oil onto the entire ball rail to double its lubrication points. The Low Tension Bull Chain Lubricator spray system is available for Northfield™ LST freezers. It applies a precise distribution of lubrication at the pin and roller area of the bull chain, reducing wear on the teeth of the cage drive ring and reducer sprocket.
