ROCOL OPENS ITS DOORS TO MAINTENANCE CHALLENGES
The UK’s premier maintenance lubricants manufacturer ROCOL is throwing open its doors to engineers and production managers in the food and drink industry, and inviting them to bring along any maintenance queries to see how they can be effectively addressed.
ROCOL’s ‘open house’ at its Leeds HQ and manufacturing plant offers visitors the opportunity to take a closer look at the expertise available at the 130 year old company. Its aim is to give customers the chance to sit down with the ROCOL technical team to look at how its NSF registered food-grade lubricants can save them time and money.

Customers can see how the whole lubricant development process works in line with the highest global standards, from formulation in ROCOL’s laboratories right through to manufacture and packaging on its single UK site. They can also join the 1000+ people who have already benefited from the company’s technical training, which offers knowledge and advice on how to maximise the benefits of today’s advanced lubricants.
Steve Chapman, managing director of ROCOL Lubricants says, “Every year, food and drink processors in the UK and Ireland are faced with millions of pounds worth of unnecessary premature machinery failures, plus the potentially massive cost of production downtime. Often advanced lubricants or better lubrication management systems can provide solutions to help alleviate these losses providing the issues can be identified.
“Our whole approach is based around working in consultation with our customers to see how we can best assist them. There is no better way to establish what’s required than meeting up face to face and discussing issues in detail, so our message is ‘come and talk to us and we’ll see how we can help’.”
ROCOL has an excellent track record of helping manufacturers improve their maintenance regimes by developing new lubricants. In 2006, the company worked closely with Nestle in York in the development of FOODLUBE Ultra to improve the lubrication of wrapping machines for the Kit-Kat product.
Maintenance managers at Nestlé were keen to upgrade the process of greasing slides and cams on certain machines, as part of continuous improvement to make lubrication easier and reduce wastage. As the preferred lubricant supplier to the Nestlé, ROCOL was able to respond swiftly with a food-grade formulation to meet the brief.
