In summer, ice cream machines operate under high load. Proper lubrication and maintenance are essential to avoid jamming and wear issues. However, many people are unclear about: which parts of the ice cream machine need lubrication? What should be paid attention to in daily maintenance? Today, Baoxing's editor will explain it all at once.
The core lubrication points of the ice cream machine are concentrated on moving components: such as the stirring shaft bearings, the sealing parts of the discharge valve, the meshing positions of the transmission gears, and the connecting bearings between the compressor and the motor. These parts experience long-term friction, and insufficient lubrication can easily lead to jamming, noise, and even shorten the service life of the equipment.
Ice cream machines are high-frequency use equipment, especially during peak seasons when they almost run continuously. Basic lubrication and maintenance must be done at least once a day. If neglected for a long time, residual ice cream ingredients will mix with grease and deteriorate, which not only affects the lubrication effect but may also contaminate food. Regular lubrication can reduce component wear, extend equipment life, and lower maintenance costs.
When selecting lubricating grease, keep these points in mind:
1. Food-grade is the minimum requirement; it must pass NSF H1 or FDA certification to ensure it is non-toxic and harmless even in accidental contact with food;
2. It can withstand the low-temperature environment inside the ice cream machine and does not react with ingredients such as cream and sugar;
3. Easy to use: Small packages are more suitable for precise application to avoid waste. Baoxing food-grade ice cream machine lubricating grease is very suitable. It has passed food-grade certification and can be directly used on parts that come into contact with food; it is suitable for low-temperature environments and does not react with ingredients; it also comes in 50g and 113g toothpaste tube packaging, which is easy to squeeze, enabling precise quantitative lubrication, making daily maintenance worry-free and efficient.
