Lubricants for the Beverage Industry

In the food industry – and particularly in the drinks industry – reliable lubricants are crucial to the efficiency of entire production lines. Filling plants, high-speed fillers and packaging systems operate continuously and are subject to the most stringent hygiene requirements. ELKALUB develops H1-certified speciality lubricants for these applications, which continue to function reliably even at high cycle rates, in damp environments and under thermal stress.

Our ELKALUB high-performance lubricants offer solutions for the entire food industry, as well as specialised lubricant concepts for the brewing industry and the pharmaceutical sector.

Beverage industry: ELKALUB H1 lubricants for filling plants and packaging systems support hygienic and efficient production lines.

NSF-H1 lubricants for the drinks industry

Whether it’s grease for high-speed fillers, lubricants for beverage filling lines or complete lubrication concepts for the process chain – our solutions meet the stringent NSF H1 requirements and prevent cross-contamination. In this way, they safeguard the quality of sensitive products such as water, soft drinks, milk and fruit juices. Purchasing managers and production managers benefit from predictable plant availability, reduced downtime and long-term operational reliability.

High-Performance Filling Technology

Modern high-speed fillers achieve extremely high cycle rates. This places greater demands on lubricants: high resistance to centrifugal forces, thermal stability, and a long service life are essential. ELKALUB products reduce friction, minimize wear, and ensure trouble-free processes – from glass and PET lines to labeling and capping machines.

Process Diversity in Beverage Production

In addition to filling, many upstream and downstream steps depend on reliable lubricants:

  • Cleaning and inspection of returnable containers
  • Blow molding of PET bottles
  • Carton erector and feeding systems
  • Labeling and packaging

Our lubricants perform reliably even at high temperatures, during intensive cleaning, and when exposed to chemicals.

Special Application: Bottle Caps – Precision with Every Cycle

Bottle cap manufacturers produce millions of units per day. Processes such as painting, printing, stamping, and deep drawing require durable, hygienic, and temperature-resistant lubricants.
