The case
Friedr. Lohmann GmbH: [[Reliable Lubrication]]
Friedr. Lohmann GmbH in Witten, Germany, is a global manufacturer of high-performance steels and castings. In their demanding production environment, they rely on stable, contamination-free lubrication to maintain grease integrity and ensure reliable operations.
The why
Their needs
Traditional steel drums created unnecessary waste, frequent changeovers, and exposure risks that could compromise grease quality and disrupt the lubrication process.
The how
Their
[[Solution.]]
Flexible 1000-liter Fluid-Bags replaced rigid drums, reducing contamination risk and simplifying high-volume handling. Supported by a semi-automatic Discharge Roller, the steel mill’s centralized lubrication system now receives a continuous, reliable grease supply to meet its operational demands.
Less waste
The discharging equipment applies powerful stretching and pressing forces which reduce waste to less than 1 %. Minimal residue keeps both product and packaging waste low while supporting environmental and cost-efficiency goals.
Reduced changeovers
Switching to 1000-liter Fluid-Bags instead of 200-liter drums, cuts the number of required changeovers by a factor of four, with the automated system ensuring efficient handling of each container change.
Product protection
The sealed system ensures clean, contamination-free grease discharge, a key requirement in steel plants where heavy dust and airborne particles would otherwise compromise product quality and lubrication reliability.
The output
Thanks to the implementation of the Squeeze Solution, via distributor Roth Energie, Lohmann reduces manual workload and operating costs through fewer changeovers and minimal residual waste.
The sealed handling system preserves grease quality in dust-heavy environments, ensuring stable lubrication performance throughout their steel production processes.
