Mascherpa at Cibus Tec 2026: the best of the show

Cibus Tec 2026 has come to a close, and we would like to thank everyone who stopped by the Mascherpa stand. From October 27 to 30, at the Fiere di Parma, we presented our solutions for lubrication and maintenance in the food industry.

At the heart of our participation were food-grade lubricants, automatic lubrication, and solutions for food industry maintenance, with an approach that starts from the needs of the machines and the actual working conditions.

This journey is also captured in the new technical guide “Food lubrication isn’t a product. It’s a system.”, designed to help companies build more reliable, documented, and controllable management.

The solutions presented at Cibus Tec 2026

At Cibus Tec 2026 Mascherpa presented technologies dedicated to the different areas of the food processing plant, from processing to bottling, as well as ovens, refrigeration, and packaging.

Loads, temperatures, washdowns, and component accessibility call for different solutions, to be evaluated alongside food safety requirements and maintenance procedures.

Food-grade lubricants and food industry maintenance

Mascherpa brought together solutions dedicated to the various needs of lubrication and maintenance in food processing plants:

Petro-Canada Lubricants: the PURITY™ FG for food-grade lubrication range includes fats, oils for gear oils, hydraulic fluids and compressor oils, along with fluids for transfer of heat. The REFLO™ line is dedicated to ammonia refrigeration systems.

MOLYKOTE®: H1 pastes and special greases for specialized lubrication, mounting, and maintenance of components such as screws, pins, bushings, threads, and plastic gears.

Krytox™: PFPE fluorinated lubricants for high temperatures and thermally critical applications, such as oven bearings, where conventional lubricants can degrade rapidly.

CRC: food-grade spray solutions for quick interventions on guides, chains, and mechanisms, even during short downtime windows.

Technologies to be selected based on the food processing machine and operating conditions, taking into account both the required performance and the correct management of the lubricant at the point of application.

MEMOLUB automatic lubrication: starting from the point of application

Among the themes of Mascherpa’s participation in Cibus Tec 2026, automatic lubrication with MEMOLUB played a central role.

Hard-to-reach points, high frequencies, and interventions dependent on operator availability can make relubrication irregular. Under these conditions, scheduling quantity and frequency allows the point to be managed with greater consistency.

However, the evaluation must take into account both the system and the lubricant. Temperature, distance from the point, pressure, back pressure, and product characteristics all influence the configuration, along with the quantity required per cycle and the delivery frequency.

That’s why Mascherpa pairs the selection of MEMOLUB systems with the choice of the most suitable lubricant, considering different technologies and brands. Automation is thus evaluated where it can offer a concrete advantage, based on the needs of each specific application.

Mascherpa’s approach to food lubrication

In a food processing plant, choosing the lubricant is only part of the job. To properly manage lubrication, it is necessary to know the points present on the machines, the conditions in which they operate, and the way they are accessed during maintenance.

This is the approach Mascherpa brought to Cibus Tec: starting from the application to define product, quantity, and frequency, assessing where automation can make interventions more consistent.

The mapping of lubrication points allows this information to be organized and linked to a maintenance schedule. It also helps identify overlapping references, simplify inventory management, and make documentation easier to retrieve.

This work is also useful when preparing for food safety audits, when it is necessary to be able to show where products are used, with which procedures, and according to which intervention schedule.
