Form-fill-seal machines, cartoners, printing presses and corrugators run fast, precise and close to the product. Lubrication has to keep them accurate without staining the print or contaminating the pack.
Packaging and printing machines are fast and full of small mechanisms: cams, chains, grippers, guides and gears that position every pack or sheet precisely. Excess oil stains paper and film, and on food and pharmaceutical lines it can contaminate the product. Corrugators add heat and steam; printing presses add ink, solvents and paper dust. Clean, controlled lubrication, the right grade in the right amount, keeps registration accurate and packs clean.
Banesto supplies NSF H1 food-grade grease for food and pharma packaging, PTFE dry-film lubricant for clean lubrication without an oily film, gear and hydraulic oils, chain lubricant and Beltone belts for packaging, printing and corrugation plants.
Selected from our 852+ SKU range for the duty cycles most common in packaging, printing and corrugation plants. Every recommendation is matched by application (temperature, load, speed and exposure), not by catalogue number. Where the equipment maker specifies a grade, the maker's specification comes first.

| Equipment | Lubrication point | Banesto product | Good practice |
|---|---|---|---|
| Form-fill-seal, cartoners, labellers (food and pharma) | Cams, guides, chains near the pack | Food-Grade White Grease NSF H1 or PTFE Dry-Film | Apply sparingly; wipe off excess. |
| Offset and flexo printing presses | Gearboxes, gear trains | Industrial Gear Oil, grade as per the maker | Check levels weekly; fix leaks before they reach the sheet path. |
| Printing presses | Grippers, cam followers, slides | Lithium Complex MP or PTFE Dry-Film, as the maker allows | Use less, more often. |
| Corrugators | Corrugating and pressure roll bearings | Ca-Sulfonate Complex HT Grease; PFPE grease for the hottest points | Heat shortens grease life; keep to the maker's interval. |
| Corrugators, presses | Hydraulics | Hydraulic Oil HLP 46 | Keep fill points clean. |
| Conveyors | Chains | Chain & Wire Rope Lubricant away from product; H1 grease near product | Lubricate chains when clean and dry. |
| Small motors, fans, light drives | Belt drives | Beltone FHP or A section belts | Replace cracked or glazed belts promptly. |
On food, beverage and pharmaceutical packaging lines, yes, wherever the lubricant could contact the product or its primary pack. Use NSF H1 registered lubricants there and keep a register of where each grade is used.
Use less lubricant more often, wipe off excess, use PTFE dry film on guides and slides where the maker allows, and fix leaking seals promptly.
Corrugating roll bearings run hot and see steam; calcium sulfonate complex grease handles heat and moisture together. For the very hottest points, a PFPE grease may be specified.
Small motors and light drives use FHP belts (2L to 5L) or A section belts; heavier drives use B section or wedge belts. Beltone stocks 2,000+ sizes ex-stock.
