Lubrication

Grease cams and cam rollers (rejection, closing, main shaft support, discharge, dosing and vacuum drive assemblies) weekly, or whenever they appear dry. Use NLGI grade 1 grease, food-grade (H1) where incidental product contact is possible.
Grease ball, needle and linear bearings on a regular schedule.
Apply lubricating oil to joint bearings, sealed bearings and sliding guides.
Lightly lubricate moving shafts and bushings to the manufacturer’s instructions.
Check drive chain tension and lubricate as needed.
Top up or change oil in the main drive and feeder gearboxes to schedule.
Wipe away excess lubricant. Over-lubrication causes black marks on capsules (see E-05).
