  1. Mako-Lube Baking Oven Chain Lubrication

  2. Baking Facilities Bakeries produce thousands of loaves, buns, pitas, pies per day. • “HOT” Issues • High Temperatures • Clean Conditions • Washdown – Sanitation • 24/7 Production • Green Environment

  3. Baking OperationsFrom Basic Ingredients to Finished Products • Mixing Issues • Sanitation • Heavy Bearing Load • Food-Tek Multi-Lube • Food Grade Grease 3H Mixing – Ingredients are combined

  4. Baking Operations • Proofing Issues • Sanitation • High Humidity • Warm Temperature • Expensive Chain Repairs • Food-Tek Multi- Lube • Synfood EP Grease Proofing – Activation, drying, and baking preparation operation

  5. Baking Operations • Oven Issues • Sanitation • Expensive Chain Repair • Hot Bearing Temperature • Food Grade Requirement • HT Chain Oil Plus • Synfood EP Baking – Make the finished product

  6. Baking Operations • Slicing Issues • Sanitation • High Speed Bearings • Food Grade Oil 3H • Synfood EP Slicing – Cut product to order or specification

  7. Baking Operations • Packaging Issues • Sanitation • High Temperature Shrink Tunnel • Food-Tek Multi Lube • Synfood EP Wrapping/Packaging – Product ready for sale

  8. Baking Operations • Food-Tek Multi-Lube • Synfood EP • Packaging Issues • Sanitation • High Temperature Shrink Tunnel Cartoning/Palletising – Move the product

  9. Poor Oven Chain Lubrication Costly to Production Operations

  10. Why use a Mako-Lube Spray System? • Continuous or pulse spray provides precise automatic oil application during production • Replaces manual application of graphite/oil mixture during scheduled shutdown period. • Clean – no graphite build up on chain to clean • Environmentally acceptable with synthetic/ food grade oil. No V.O.C. • Eliminates fire hazards • Return on investment – Improves chain life 2-3 times. • Industry improvement – Synthetic, high temperature, and food grade lubricants are becoming the industry standard.

  11. Mako-Lube System Concept

  12. Tunnel Type Ovens

  13. Tunnel Type Oven Manufacturers • CH Babb Company • Turkington USA • Reed Oven Company • Pro Bake Inc. • JBT Food Tech • Auto Bake • AMF Bakery Systems • Gemini Bakery Equip. • The Henry Group • Stewart Systems • Baker Perkins • Banner-Day

  14. Past PracticeTunnel Oven Chain Oil • Typical cost of production time. One 8 hour shift to clean graphite lubricated chain plus 1 hour cool down & 1 hour start up. • Graphite oil must be applied on a weekly schedule. • Actual cleaning of chain requires kerosene and hammer to loosen baked on graphite. • Chain replacement, typically £15,000 or more. Normal chain life is one year. Bakers are requesting 3 year chain warranty. • Chain replacement labour cost. One 8 hour shift, 3 or 4 maintenance technicians. • Dangerous. The combination of Kerosene based lubricating solution with high heat can cause fires. • Environmental Issues. Unacceptable V.O.C.’s (Volatile Organic Compounds.

  15. Current Practice Tunnel Oven Chain Oil • Increased production time. Shutdown to lubricate not required. Automated method eliminates cool down and cleaning. • Mako-Lube oils applied during production are NSF Registered • Chain life cycle increased 50% or more. • Chain replacement cost reduced 50% or more. • Dangerous fire hazard eliminated. • Improved environment.

  16. Tortilla Type Ovens

  17. Tortilla Type Oven Manufacturers • Casa Herrera • Lawerence Equipment • JC Ford • Superior Manufacturing • Stewart Systems

  18. Past PracticeTortilla Oven Chain Oil • Typical cost of lubrication time. One hour daily to manually apply synthetic oil. • Chain replacement, typically £15,000 or more. Normal chain life is one year. Bakers are requesting 3 year chain warranty. • Chain replacement labor cost. One 8 hour shift, 3 or 4 maintenance technicians. • Chain replacement downtime cost. One 8 hour shift annually. • Dangerous. Manual lubrication while oven is in production. • Environmental Issues. Unacceptable V.O.C.’s (Volatile Organic Compounds) if petroleum base oils used.

  19. Current Practice Tortilla Oven Chain Oil • Increased production time. Shutdown to replace chain not required. • Daily lubrication labor eliminated. • Mako-Lube oils applied during production are NSF Registered. • Chain life cycle increased 50% or more. • Chain replacement cost reduced 50% or more. • Safety hazard eliminated. • Improved environment.

  20. Case Study

  21. How should an oven chain look? Synthetic: This chain has been lubricated with HT Chain Oil Plus for over three years. Graphite: This chain has severe carbon build up from lubricating with graphite. Over 30% of the rollers were locked from graphite. After applying synthetic lubricant, amperage significantly decreased and all rollers were rotating. (Picture taken 6 hours after converting from graphite to synthetic.

  22. Case Study 2

  23. Major Food Manufacturer(Tunnel Oven, 315°C Temp., 120 Feet Long) • Mako-Lube HT Chain Oil Plus • Usage: 15 Litres lubricant per week • (2 Litres per day per oven) • Purchases: One Drum every 16 weeks (4 months) per oven • Lubricant Savings: 66% • Previous Lubricant • Usage: 100 Litres lubricant per week per oven • (15 Litres per day per oven) • Purchased one drum every 3 weeks per oven COST SAVINGS £20,000 PER OVEN, PER YEAR ON OIL ALONE

  30. State of the art Mako-Lube Oils • Past practice utilised graphite with oil or a solvent base applied during shutdown. A short run period after application flashed off the base solvents or oils. Production operation then relied on the remaining graphite to provide lubrication during production periods. • Mako-Lube only supply synthetic oils that perform better than typical petroleum base brands. Synthetics may be applied during production without any adverse effects. Typical temperature flash point is 300°C. Our synthetic oils are acceptable for use in food grade environments & NSF Registered as H1.
