New Lubricant For Bottling Plants Cuts Water Use by 80 Percent
ZURICH, Switzerland--(BUSINESS WIRE)--
Ecolab Inc. today introduced DryExx® GF, a new conveyor lubricant
specifically designed for use with glass bottles on steel conveyor
belts. DryExx GF saves up to 80 percent of the water used when compared
to traditional wet lubricants but still achieves the highest possible
hygiene levels and does not compromise efficiency.
The innovative DryExx GF formula contains an active lubricating
substance which creates a protective film on the belts. This results in
reduced friction, less abrasion and consequently eliminates the need to
use large amounts of water to continually wash any abrasion off the
belts.
"The introduction of DryExx GF once again demonstrates Ecolab's
leadership in the field of innovative conveyor lubrication technologies
and our focus on helping our customers run more sustainable operations,"
said Andreas Weilinghoff, general manager of Ecolab Food & Beverage in
Europe. "The use of dry lubricants combines the highest possible water
savings with hygienic and efficient technology — all cornerstone
features of Ecolab's products within this industry."
