Leading Water Bottler Struggles with Inefficient Wet Lubrication on High-Speed Lines
A leading Saudi water bottler* faced persistent challenges on their high-speed PET production lines. Wet lubrication was causing high lubricant consumption, foam buildup, water waste, rust, hygiene issues, and sensor malfunctions. The consequences? Reduced conveyor performance, frequent cleaning and maintenance, label adhesion problems, carton package damage, and costs increase.
Dry Lubrication Attempts from Top Global Suppliers Fail to Eliminate Bottle Instability and Line Stoppages.
After testing dry solutions from top global suppliers, the client encountered bottle instability at the filler and before the labeler, frequent bottles falling, and line stoppages due to residual oil on the bottle, leading to more lubricant usage and loss in production time. Seeking a definitive solution, they turned to Praucs.

Targeted Dual-Nozzle Lubrication System for Bottles and Conveyors Enhances Line Stability.
We assessed their line and identified the root cause: other dry solutions only lubricated the bottles, failing to lubricate the conveyors due to their system design and lubricant type. Our team engineered a targeted solution featuring nozzles for bottle lubrication and other nozzles for conveyor lubrication. We optimized installation downtime and provided operator training for sustained performance.
Dramatic Production Increase, 98% Reduction in Lubricant Use, and Zero Stoppages in Just 1 Month
Our unique solution repairs damaged surfaces with a durable, low-friction film and precisely manages bottle and conveyor lubrication separately.
Within only 1 month, RESULTS were impressive:
While competitors offered free equipment and installation, our client prioritized long-term value and significant ROI, choosing to invest in our durable solution and to expand its application across their factory. These outstanding results have remained consistent since 2016, ensuring lasting satisfaction for the client.
“We’re so impressed with the results and excellent service that we plan to apply this solution on other lines as well.”(The Operations Manager)
