Rocol, a supplier of lubricants for mixers, coaters, blister machines and tablet presses, has helped one of the pharma industry's largest producers eliminate a contamination risk on a tablet press which punches tablet packs using 55 rotating heads.
The Leeds-based company developed single-use bespoke lubricant sachets for the machinery, each containing the right type of Foodlube lubricant for the application. The tamper-proof sachets feature a directional tear-off nozzle and contain the correct amount of lubricant to avoid the risk of excessive lubrication.
Rocol is one of the UK's leading manufacturers of NSF H1 registered lubricants for clean industries and provides technical expertise and advice to ensure pharma product manufacturers can minimise the risks of contamination through effective maintenance programmes.
"Our "off the shelf" lubricant range provides solutions for the most widely used applications and processes in the pharmaceutical industry, and this is supplemented where required with bespoke lubricants formulated in-house. This ensures we can cover the whole plant with risk-free, safety assured lubrication solutions," said Rocol's technical manager Paul King.
