Lubricant benefits breweries, wineries

Lubrication products supplier Fuchs Lubricants South Africa provides CASSIDA food-grade lubricants, which ensure equipment reliability and food safety, for companies active in the local brewery and winery industry.

The lubricant offers several benefits, including corrosion protection, enhanced equipment reliability to reduce maintenance costs, and reduced risk of contamination.

“When beer or wine is combined with contaminated oil, it can have detrimental effects on the taste, quality and shelf life of the final product. Fuchs’ CASSIDA products offer a solution to reduce or eliminate these risks by providing a food-grade lubricant that ensures the integrity of the beer or wine,” says Fuchs industrial and speciality manager Ashleigh Pollen.

Using CASSIDA products enables brewers and wineries to safeguard their products and maintain their reputation for excellence, she adds.

Further, the CASSIDA range is the ideal solution because it is the first food-grade lubricant to receive the International Organisation for Standardisation’s ISO 21469 certification in Africa, and all products in the CASSIDA range are US-based National Sanitation Foundation H1-registered.

“The CASSIDA offering is compliant with strict food safety regulations and is committed to ensuring that its lubricants are safe for use in food processing environments.”

Brewery and winery owners can benefit from a trusted partner that understands their unique lubrication needs when choosing this offering, adds Pollen.

“The high-quality lubricants offered by Fuchs can help improve operational efficiency, reduce downtime and ensure the longevity of equipment,” she concludes.
