Common Challenges and Our Solutions
Contamination
- Challenge: In food, beverage, and pharmaceutical applications, preventing contamination is critical.
- Solution: Our NSF H1 and H2 lubricants are designed to minimize contamination risks, ensuring product safety and compliance with health regulations.
High Temperature and Pressure
- Challenge: Machinery in these industries often operates under high temperatures and pressures, leading to increased wear and tear.
- Solution: Our high-performance lubricants are formulated to withstand these extreme conditions, reducing the risk of equipment failure.
Corrosion
- Challenge: Exposure to moisture and aggressive cleaning agents can cause corrosion in machinery.
- Solution: Our lubricants provide excellent corrosion protection, extending the life of your equipment and maintaining its reliability.
Frequent Maintenance and Downtime
- Challenge: Regular maintenance is necessary to keep machinery running smoothly, but it can lead to downtime and reduced productivity.
- Solution: Our automatic lubrication systems and oil analysis services help reduce maintenance frequency and identify potential issues before they lead to breakdowns.
Lubricant Degradation
- Challenge: Lubricants can degrade over time due to oxidation, contamination, and extreme operating conditions.
- Solution: Our superior lubricants are designed to maintain their performance over extended periods, reducing the need for frequent lubricant changes.
NSF H1 and H2 Lubricants
NSF H1 Lubricants: Cleared for incidental food contact, these lubricants are suitable for USDA-inspected food processing plants. They can be used as a protective antirust film, release agent on gaskets or seals of tank closures, and lubricant for machine parts and equipment. All LE H1 lubricants are certified Halal by IFANCA and, except for H1 Machine Oil (6751), are also certified Kosher Pareve by the Orthodox Union.
USDA H2 Lubricants: Recommended for non-food contact areas of food processing plants, H2 lubricants meet USDA H2 criteria. These are used in applications with no possibility of food contact, usually below the production line. Most LE lubricants meet USDA H2 criteria, ensuring safe and reliable operation in non-food contact areas.

Our Holistic Approach to Reliability Solutions
Automatic Lubrication Systems
Our automatic lubrication systems precisely dispense the right amount of lubricant to critical components while equipment is in use. By eliminating the inconsistencies of manual greasing, these systems reduce wear, prevent missed lubrication points, and extend component life.
Designed for reliability, our systems feature adjustable intervals, pressure monitoring, and metered distribution to ensure consistent lubrication across all lubrication points. This precision minimizes lubricant waste, reduces maintenance costs, and enhances equipment uptime.
With a professional installation approach, we design systems that integrate seamlessly with your equipment, ensuring optimized lubrication without operator intervention. The result? Improved reliability, reduced downtime, and long-term savings on maintenance and repairs.
Lubricants
We supply high-performance lubricants from Lubrication Engineers, designed to protect critical components in extreme conditions. Engineered for durability, these lubricants reduce friction, prevent contamination, and withstand heavy loads, ensuring maximum efficiency and extended equipment life. Formulated with proprietary additive technology and superior base oils, LE lubricants outperform conventional options by providing longer service life, enhanced protection, and reduced operating costs.
Oil Analysis & Condition Monitoring
Our oil analysis services utilize third-party laboratories to provide unbiased assessments of lubricant condition. Through independent testing, we help detect potential issues early, monitor lubricant health, and support proactive maintenance strategies. By identifying contamination, degradation, and wear, oil analysis ensures optimal equipment performance and minimizes costly downtime.
Customized Lubrication Management Programs for Improved Asset Reliability
Our tailored programs integrate lubrication management, condition monitoring, and preventive maintenance strategies to enhance equipment reliability and reduce downtime. By optimizing lubrication practices and proactively addressing inefficiencies, we help businesses extend component life, minimize maintenance costs, and maximize asset performance.

Lubricants - Small Cost, Huge Returns
Lubrication Management Programs Protect Your Assets and Save You Money:
Although lubricants make up a mere 3% of the typical maintenance budget; using ineffective products, techniques and applications can have a significant impact on the lubrication-related costs that make up 40% of that budget. A Lubrication Management Program designed by the Technical Consultants at Lubrication Technologies, Inc. can help you target those areas where you see red.
- Your equipment and components will last longer, run more efficiently and more reliably, and you won’t replace equipment or components prematurely
- Your labor force will spend less time on routine lubrication-related maintenance and no time on lubricant-related equipment failures
- You’ll reduce over-all lubricant consumption as well as waste
