UV light device detects oil leaks
A portable, easy to use UV light source helps operators find oil leaks and identify their location to help to improve process, reliability, safety and food safety.
Synthetic grease reduces bearing down-time
A combination of the latest technology thickeners, high quality additives and base stock oil has produced a synthtic grease to give better bearing service life and resistance to 'heat soak'.
This is a significant endorsement from a key OEM and a glowing affirmation of the fact that Shell's product portfolio and technical expertise have been developed to meet the critical demands of food manufacturers.
Shell's task was to create a food grade lubricant that could offer outstanding protection to improve production efficiencies and increase levels of safety.
The result was a brand new product - Cassida GLE.
Made from synthetic base oils and additives, Cassida GLE does not impart taste, odour or colour to food, nor cause actual harm to consumers, should any food be accidentally contaminated at levels lower then 10ppm.
In trials conducted by Angelus and Shell, Cassida GLE performed superbly, with each machine accumulating over 16,000 operating hours without requiring an oil change.
Delighted at this, Angelus has begun to use Cassida GLE extensively at the first fill stage in all new and rebuilt seamers.
Michael Bingham, Shell's IOEM manager, is excited about the burgeoning relationship with Angelus, as he comments: "It's part of Shell's global marketing aims to build relationships with identified OEMs.
We're moving away from product supply, to becoming a solutions provider, either through the development of speciality products, or through specially tailored services that resolve customer problems.
Cassida GLE was developed for Angelus as a superior performing lubricant for use in today's high-speed seamer machines. Request a free brochure from Shell Lubricants ...
We are delighted that Angelus has returned the favour by installing plaques on their new machines endorsing its use.".
