Purpose of lubrication of meat slicer

 Meat slicer Lubrication:                                       
Purpose of lubrication:

Meat slicer is very helpful in the kitchen it saves us from a lot of trouble, energy, and slices meat very easily and quickly. But maintenance of meat slicer is a very important aspect to live it long time perfect. In maintenance cleaning, sanitizing, and lubrication are more important. The basic purpose of lubrication is to reduce friction between two working parts of the machine. A fluid separates two working connected surfaces. It prevents pieces from wear, reduces shocks, protects from corrosion, isolates components from contamination, and gets rid of contaminants.

Equipment:                                                        We need many things when we start lubrication of meat slicer Berkel carriage bearing.

   
     *Tools                                                                                                                                                           

    * Lubrication oil                                                                           
 
    *Timelubrication                                                    

    *Environment                                                                                                                                 

    *Awareness                                                                                                                     

Tools:    

1-Bearing kit (nut, washer, bushing, bearing, slide screw).                                                                       
 
2-Oiling equipment.                                                                                                                                        
 
 3-Waste oil handling

Lubrication oil:                                                                 
  More conscious while selecting lubrication oil.                                                                        
1-Choose food-grade lubricant with a rating of H1.                            

 2-Use light oil.                                                                                                                                               
3-Amazon Food Grade Equipment Lubricant NSF(2/4 oz.Tube)(Basic): Amazon.com:Industrial &             Scientific.                                                                                                                                            
   This lubricant is in very good rating and comes in gel form.                                                                                                                                                    
4-INTERFLON FOOD LUBE is an H1 rating food grade.                                                                                   
 
5-Good oil selection increases the performance of the machine.                                                                  
6-Lubricant should be safe for all components of the machine and also protect the electric connection.

Time of lubrication:                                                     It is important to lubricate on time.                                                                                                               Usually, the meat slicer Berkel carriage bearing is lubricated after every 100 hours of use or it is lubricated after 30 days.

Environment:                                                    

1-There should be a specific place and environment is needed to lubricate.                                                            
 
2-Temperature is also be counted when we lubricate the Berkel carriage bearing.

Awareness:           

1-Check the size of the lubrication point.                                                                                                                        
2-Watch the flow of oil(Inflow+outflow)                                                                                                                                       
3-See carefully absorbing speed or % of oil.                                                                                                       
 4-No waste oil.                                                                                                                                                      
5- After the lubricating step of recycling.                                                                                                                         
6-Tightening and opening of a screw of meat slicer.

Start to lubricate:                                                             Now we start to lubricate the Berkel carriage bearing of the meat slicer;                                                        

 *Unplug the meat slicer.                                                                                                                                  
 *Wear up safety gloves.                                                                                                                                                                            
 * Undo knob, separate the big parts of the meat slicer.                                                                                    
  *Turn down the machine.                                                                                                                                         
  *Put shaft into a spreader and loose screws.                                                                                                 
*Now try to open bearing under the circle plate and open nuts on bearing.                                                

*Check the leakage, oil level, and condition of oil.                                                                                          
*Now clean the bearing by parts.                                                                                                                      
*Use gell lubricant to the Berkel carriage bearing and circulate the bearing forward circle and back circle so that the lubricant spread all over the Berkel carriage.                                                         

 *Now clean up the extra oil or gell.                                                                                                           

 *Lubricate the main shaft and move the slider up and down to distribute the lubricant.                    

*Scroll and tight it back into its real condition.                                                               Precaution:                                                                                                                 1-Do does not use mineral oil or vegetable oil because it can grow bacteria which causes illness or death.                                                                                                                                                              
  2-Lubrication creates an unsafe working environment because the oil is runny and messy. So keep ready waste oil equipment.                                                                                                                             
 3-Food participle should not mix with oil.                                                                                                 

 4-Identify the correct tool according to the perfect size of the meat slicer Berkel carriage bearing.

Conclusion: Lubrication improves the energetic efficiency of meat slicer Berkel carriage bearing. To minimize the pressure of bearing lubrication is more important. It acts as a cooling medium so don’t forget to lubricate meat slicer Berkel carriage bearing for getting the best results and long-lasting safety of a machine.
