  • Publication number: 20250215349
    Abstract: A method for lubricating a work tool, including providing a lubricant composition, the lubricant composition including 72 wt. % to 95 wt. % polyalphaolefin and 5 wt. % to 28 wt. % lithium soap, each in relation to a total weight of the lubricant composition. The method further includes lubricating the work tool with the lubricant composition, the work tool being used to process, package, produce, portion, pick, put together, store, obtain and/or convey foodstuffs, luxury foods, cosmetics, pharmaceuticals and/or feedstuffs. The content of metallocene-catalyzed polyalphaolefin is at least 10 wt. % in relation to the total weight of the lubricant composition, and/or the content of acid-catalyzed polyalphaolefin is at least 10 wt. % in relation to the total weight of the lubricant composition.

  • Patent number: 12325836
    Abstract: A tribological system, including a main body and a sandwich lubrication, wherein the sandwich lubrication includes a binder-free solid lubricant layer including a solid lubricant, and a lubricant layer including a lubricant. The binder-free solid lubricant layer and the lubricant layer are present as separate layers on the main body and the mass ratio of solid lubricant to lubricant is at most 0.05:1. The solid lubricant includes polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE), metal sulfide, graphite, graphene, boron nitride (hexagonal), calcium phosphate, silicate, layered silicate, or mixtures thereof.

  • Patent number: 11724239
    Abstract: A production method can include flowing a heterogeneous fluid mixture into contact with a homogenizing cutting tool, measuring a fluid mixture temperature so as to obtain a measured fluid mixture temperature, and determining a target fluid mixture temperature. The fluid mixture can be frictionally heated so as to obtain a heated and homogenized fluid mixture by driving the cutting tool at a rate based on (i) the target fluid mixture temperature and (ii) the measured fluid mixture temperature. The heated and homogenized fluid mixture can be flowed away from the cutting tool.
