FUCHS Lubricants Introduces LCCP Audit To Optimise Production And Strengthen Food Safety Standards

In the highly scrutinised business of food and beverage manufacturing, keeping your production line running smoothly is critical. Balancing operational efficiency, product quality, and adherence to stringent safety standards leaves little room for error. 

FUCHS LUBRICANTS SOUTH AFRICA understands these challenges and now, in addition to their extensive range of food-grade lubrications they are also to help optimise your lubrication application and bring significant improvements to your plant with their new LCCP Audit tool.

What is the FUCHS LCCP Audit?

The Lubrication Critical Control Point (LCCP) Audit by FUCHS is an in-depth study designed to assess lubrication risks and identify opportunities for improvement in food safety, maintenance efficiency, and energy cost savings. By conducting the LCCP Audit, FUCHS helps you avoid costs associated with the rejection of defective products, cross-contamination, or damage to your brand image.

Whether you're managing high-speed conveyors, heavy-duty mixers, or complex packaging machinery, the FUCHS LCCP Audit takes it all into account, providing 

tailored solutions for your specific needs.

Benefits of the LCCP Audit

1. Reduced Downtime: By identifying and addressing lubrication issues, the audit minimises equipment downtime, ensuring consistent production flow.
2. Improved Efficiency: Optimised lubrication practices lead to smoother operations and increased output.
3. Cost Savings: The audit helps reduce lubricant consumption and maintenance costs, directly impacting your bottom line.
4. Ensured Food Safety: Proper lubrication safeguards against contamination, protecting consumer health and maintaining your brand reputation.
5. Energy Savings: Efficient lubrication reduces friction, leading to significant energy cost reductions.

The LCCP Audit Process - What to Expect?

When you request a FUCHS LCCP Audit, here's what happens next:

“We are proud to bring our innovative LCCP Audit tool to local food and beverage manufacturers and to support them in achieving the collective goal of enhancing operational efficiency, reducing the risk of contamination, and ultimately contributing to a safer food supply chain” adds Stevenson concludes.
