Mascherpa at Cibus Tec 2026: Solutions for Food Lubrication and Maintenance

From October 27 to 30, 2026, Mascherpa will be present at Cibus Tec 2026, in Hall 02, Stand F061, to engage with companies and technicians on the topics of lubrication and maintenance in the Food & Beverage sector.

The focus of the participation stems from a precise principle: in a food plant, lubrication cannot be reduced to the simple choice of a grease or an oil.

Bearings, chains, gears, gearboxes, hydraulic systems, compressors, ovens, and cold rooms operate under very different conditions. Water and detergents, high or very low temperatures, loads, point accessibility, and contamination risk vary from application to application.

For this reason, at Cibus Tec, Mascherpa will present an approach that starts from the entire lubrication program of the food plant, linking application, operating conditions, product choice, quantity, frequency, and delivery methods.

Where to find us

• When: October 27-30, 2026
• Hall: 02
• Stand: F061

At the stand, you can consult with Mascherpa technicians regarding the actual criticalities of your plant and specific maintenance needs.

Food Lubrication Concerns the Entire System

In a Food & Beverage plant, dozens or hundreds of lubrication points can coexist.

Some are easily accessible. Others operate inside moving machinery, near wash zones, in cold rooms, or in the presence of high temperatures. Meanwhile, production must continue, interventions must be programmable, and the risk of contamination must remain under control.

The question, therefore, is not simply which H1 lubricant to use. It is necessary to understand which solution is correct for that point, under those conditions, with that quantity and that frequency.

This is the logic with which Mascherpa will present itself at Cibus Tec: not a single range to be applied indiscriminately, but different technologies to be selected based on the machine and operating conditions.

The goal is to transform a series of separate interventions into a more readable, documented, and repeatable lubrication program, capable of combining reliability, production continuity, food safety, simplification, and cost control.

A central part of the proposal will be represented by Petro-Canada solutions, with the PURITY™ FG range dedicated to food-grade lubrication of the various areas of the plant.

Solutions for the lubrication of the entire food plant

This approach requires a sufficiently wide range to address different needs without forcing the same technology onto applications that have different requirements.

Mascherpa brings solutions to Cibus Tec that include:

• H1 and food-grade lubricants;
• greases and pastes;
• oils for gears and hydraulic systems;
• high-temperature lubricants;
• compressor oils;
• ammonia refrigeration fluids;
• heat transfer oils;
• products for rapid maintenance;
• automatic lubrication systems.

The solutions that Mascherpa will bring to the fair cover various applications in the food sector, from bottling to processing, through to the cold chain and packaging, with MOLYKOTE® technologies for specialized lubrication, Krytox™ for high temperatures, and CRC for rapid food-grade maintenance interventions.

Even certification is included in this broader vision. A correctly registered product does not guarantee correct lubrication on its own if it is used at the wrong point or with inadequate quantities and frequencies. For this reason, compliance must become part of a more structured program.

The same applies when the plant must undergo a food safety audit. It is not enough to use compliant products: it is necessary to be able to demonstrate where they are used, with which procedures, and according to which maintenance program. Proper identification of lubrication points, updated documentation, and regular checks make management more verifiable and help keep contamination risk under control.

Automatic lubrication: when it can bring a real advantage

Among the topics that will have more space at Cibus Tec will be Memolub automatic lubrication.

Not all points need to be automated. Manual lubrication can work correctly when points are few, easily reachable, and not very critical. The situation changes when intervention frequencies increase, points become difficult or dangerous to reach, machines cannot be easily stopped, or relubrication depends too much on the operator.

In these cases, programming quantity and frequency can make the intervention more regular and controllable.

But even here, the automatic system is not considered separately from the lubricant. Product type and consistency, temperature, distance from the point, pressure, backpressure, quantity per cycle, and frequency influence the system’s sizing. In special conditions, such as very long lines or cold environments, the pumpability of the lubricant also becomes decisive.

It is based on this logic that Mascherpa integrates Memolub solutions, configuring the system according to the application needs and simultaneously selecting the most suitable lubricant from different technologies and brands.

Visit us at Cibus Tec 2026

If you are responsible for the maintenance of a food plant and want to deepen your understanding of lubrication point management, the choice of food-grade products, or understand where it might make sense to introduce an automatic lubrication system, come visit us at Cibus Tec 2026.

From October 27 to 30, in Hall 02, Stand F061, the Mascherpa team will be available to discuss the operating conditions of your plant and possible application solutions.

From the choice of lubricant to the definition of quantities and frequencies, through to automation with Memolub, the goal is to build a lubrication management that is more reliable and easier to control.
