More Efficient and Safer Animal Feed Production with CASSIDA FM GREASE HD
Key Benefits
Significant savings in operating costs
Strict compliance with food regulations
Longer service life of critical components
One of the largest food groups in Spain has chosen CASSIDA FM GREASE HD, the high-performance lubricant developed by FUCHS, to optimize the operation of its pellet mills in animal feed production. The results have not only exceeded expectations but have set a new benchmark in efficiency, safety, and cost savings.
Challenge
Animal feed production at this major Spanish food company posed a significant technical challenge: maintaining optimal performance of pellet mills under demanding mechanical and thermal conditions, without compromising food safety or incurring high operational costs. Accelerated wear of critical components such as press rollers and bearings, combined with high grease consumption, led to frequent downtime and expensive maintenance. Additionally, strict compliance with food industry regulations required a solution that ensured maximum safety in incidental contact with the final product. The customer needed grease that would deliver superior performance, be approved by leading pellet mill manufacturers, and meet all relevant food-grade certifications.
