High-Performance Grease Solutions for Animal Feed Equipment
5 min read | 20 April 2023
As global demand for animal feed continues to rise, the machinery that powers feed production must perform at peak efficiency. According to a report by Data Bridge Market Research, the animal feed market is projected to grow at a CAGR of 3.4% between 2020 and 2027. This surge places significant pressure on feed manufacturing equipment like pellet mills, and hammer mills to operate continuously—often under extreme conditions.
To meet production targets and minimize maintenance costs, regular lubrication and equipment inspection become essential. Poor lubrication is one of the leading causes of mechanical failure in animal feed machinery, leading to increased downtime, component wear, and unplanned shutdowns.
Why Proper Greasing is Critical
It’s not just about applying grease—it’s about using the right grease, in the right way, at the right time. Feed equipment features many moving parts that operate under high loads and vibrations. These components rely on a strong film of oil or grease to reduce metal-to-metal contact, friction, and overheating.
Inadequate or poor-quality lubrication can result in:
- Premature bearing failure
- Increased equipment wear
- Elevated temperatures and vibrations
- Excessive grease consumption
The Molygraph Advantage
At Molygraph, we’ve developed advanced grease formulations tailored specifically for the demands of animal feed equipment. Our greases are fortified with extreme pressure (EP) additives and a specialized thickener system, delivering superior performance even under challenging operating conditions.
Our core focus is addressing lubrication challenges in:
- Pellet Mill
- Hammer Mill
Explore two of our most trusted solutions:
EP Greases for Hammer Mill
Our grease for hammer mills is engineered to handle extreme pressure and heavy-duty conditions:
- Exceptional load-carrying capacity
- High-temperature resistance
- Water-resistant formula prevents washout
- Reduces grease consumption through optimal re-greasing cycles
- Enables lower operating temperatures in bearings vs. conventional lubricants
- Ensures longer component life and zero unexpected downtime
- Withstands shock loads and mechanical stress
EP Greases for Pellet Mill
Specially formulated for high-load applications in pelletizing equipment:
- Prevents bearing failure due to lubrication gaps
- Performs under high vibration without compromising performance
- Reduces bearing temperatures compared to standard greases
- Optimized re-greasing frequency reduces overall grease usage
- Provides thick, protective film under boundary lubrication conditions
- Results in maximum uptime and extended service intervals
Additional Lubrication & Maintenance Solutions
Beyond greases, Molygraph offers a full range of lubrication and maintenance products for feed machinery:
- Gear Oils: High-performance oils for both small and large gearboxes
- Multifunctional Greases: Suitable for bearings, electric motors, sliding parts, and hot blowers
- Anti-Seize Compounds: Prevent galling, seizing, and corrosion in threaded components
- Maintenance Aerosols: Quick fixes for equipment protection and reduced downtime
- Cleaners & Degreasers: Ideal for thorough equipment cleaning and component degreasing
Lubrication for Long-Term Equipment Health
Using high-quality greases like Molygraph’s ensures your animal feed equipment runs smoother, lasts longer, and reduces total maintenance costs. We believe in delivering value through advanced formulations that protect your investment.
