A Long Line of Savings

Story Image

Keeping the food supply moving is a big task. In the canning and bottling industry that means keeping the lines running like a well-oiled machine, even if it's not oil that keeps things running smoothly.

Traditional conveyor lubricants for food and beverage processing require dilution on-site and continuous application, resulting in high water usage and wet, slippery floors that increase potential for slips and falls. We thought there had to be a better way.

Watericon

We developed an innovative dry lubricant and an engineered control system that dramatically reduces water usage.

Our scientists and engineers developed DryExx, a patented dry lubricant system that keeps the lines running smoothly while drastically cutting the amount of water needed in the process.

The system not only cuts water usage, but the innovative, engineered control system optimizes line efficiency, reduces bottle tipping, breakage and line stoppage. DryExx also improves worker safety by preventing injuries caused by slippery floors.

Dryexx

All in all, we helped keep the food and beverage industry moving forward.

Ecolab's DryExx conveyor lubricant:

  • Can save 1.07 million gallons of water in a typical plant (That's 35 bottles of water for every person in America!)
  • Reduces water use on conveyor lines by as much as 97%
