Benefits of SKF lubrication solutions

Improve productivity and profitability

99.5% of today’s operated beverage filling machines are still manually lubricated. Customer cases show that upgrading to automatic lubrication is much more reliable and cost - saving.

Improve food safety

75% of food recalls are due to bacterial contamination and undeclared allergens. SKF food - grade lubricants in food production facilities help to avoid potential product pollution.

Improve worker health and safety

Replacing manual lubrication of difficult-to-access points or points in demanding areas helps avoid accidents. SKF offers an ideal retrofitting solution to automate the lubrication of existing machines.

Real industry case studies

Customer challenges
