Food Processing - Food Handling

It is well known that the food industry consistently provides some of the harshest environmental conditions for machinery. These LE enhancements mean the food industry can now expect a more superior performance from LE QUINPLEX® Food Machinery Lubricants in the difficult environments that plague food processing plants. These NSF registered / USDA Authorised H1 heavy duty, semi-synthetic lubricants will not wash out, pound out or melt & run under these severe conditions.

The enhanced QUINPLEX® Food Machinery Lubricants undertook a series of four ASTM tests against seven competitive NLGI-2 products and produced outstanding performance results:

Timken OK Load ASTM D-2509
QFML’s 50lbs load is 30lbs heavier than competitors

Resistance to Water Spray Off ASTM D-4049
QFML resists water spray off loss over 3 times better

Oxidation Stability, PDSC, ASTM D-5483
QFML has oxidation stability that is 4 times better

Load Wear Index (LWI) ASTM D-2596
QFML has LWI that is 22.7% higher than competitors

They are white, water resistant, combat high temperatures, cling to metal, are rust & corrosion inhibited & mechanically stable. They now also provide the most extreme pressure performance available for food grade greases. QUINPLEX’s® even greater resistance to water washout is significant as it eliminates corrosion related failures of the bearings; often the most common cause of failure. The increased adhesiveness results in much less grease being used as it will stay where it is put, reducing the amount that needs to be added. Food plants generally only use a quarter of the amount of grease that was used before QUINPLEX® was introduced.

QUINPLEX® Food Machinery Lubricants are recommended for use in bakeries, bottling plants, dairies, canneries, hospitals, meat packing plants, frozen food & other food processing plants. Grease-lubricated applications in these industries include: blenders, slicers, conveyors, knives, food carts, filling machines etc

“For many years, QUINPLEX® has consistently provided outstanding lubrication for food processing machinery worldwide. Our latest enhancements to an already very successful product line means that LE now has the only true EP food grade grease available. We are excited about the increased commercial advantages these new products will contribute to our valued customers,” commented Jeff Turner, Vice President Lubrication Engineers Inc.

Lubrication Engineers Inc, USA has been a leader in lubricants since 1951. LE manufactures and markets a comprehensive line of heavy-duty, premium quality lubricants formulated from the highest quality 100% select paraffinic base stocks. These lubricants are manufactured under an ISO9001:2000 certified quality system at a state of the art plant in Wichita, Kansas, USA.

LE’s objective: increase your profitability. LE products are designed to increase profitability through: longer equipment life, extended service intervals (reduced lubricant consumption), energy reductions, reliability (less downtime), fewer repairs (fewer parts & less labour) as well as less inventory (multi-purpose products) LE products are available worldwide (outside USA, Canada & Mexico) through LE International AG’s network of over 55 distributors.

LE Products
Versatile lubricants with unequalled performance - LE products are designed to give unmatched performance in virtually any application operating under conditions that vary from normal to severe.
LE has dedicated their resources to continually provide customers with high performance, consistent quality lubricants:
• R&D continually investigates advanced technology to develop tomorrow’s lubricants. LE’s own additive company, The Almasol Corporation, perfected wear-reducing additives which have been used on every US manned space mission.
• Customers benefit from LE’s four exclusive and proprietary additives:
ALMASOL® – Greatly reduces friction, heat & wear while withstanding very high loads and temperatures up to 1900°F (1038°C)
MONOLEC® – Vastly increases oil film strength while reducing friction, heat and wear.
QUINPLEX® – Provides water and moisture resistance.
PYROSHIELD® – For use in extreme heavy duty and shock loading
• Superior base oils – LE’s petroleum lubricants contain 100% Mid-Continent paraffinic base oils. Using special refining techniques, these base oils have a saturated molecular structure similar to the synthetic PAO’s. Thus, they offer excellent oxidation resistance, superior lubricity, long life and few deposits / sludge.
