What grease should be used to lubricate the internal mechanisms of kitchen robots?

Why is it important to use the right product to lubricate the gears and worm gear of kitchen robots?

The kitchen robots used in the past only by the professionals of the catering industry (restaurants, communities, caterers, pastry cooks, …) are nowadays appreciated by the general public.

These food robots have found their place in a large number of French kitchens. They facilitate the life of many households and also respond to a major challenge today, that of eating more healthily. If today there is a wide range of the kitchen robots, we will focus on the top of the range because they are subject to a number of requirements and constraints more important.

Indeed, professionals and individuals who equip themselves with high-end robots expect them to meet the following requirements :

• Longer life of the device,
• Reduced motor noise (good lubrication of open gears and robot worm gear)

Therefore, proper lubrication is not only essential for optimal use of the food processor, it is also a guarantee of quality.

The problems found due to inadequate lubrication :

• Plastic incompatibility,
• Bleeding (lubricant may flow),
• Noise generated (squeaking, vibration),
• Grease not resistant to high speeds (centrifugation)
