Customers improve operations with Dry Lube
Dry Lube’s customers continue to work in a safer and more hygienic
environment whilst making more substantial water savings every day.
Customers such as Coca-Cola Enterprises, CCHBC Romania and MillerCoors
have saved hundreds of millions of gallons of water by choosing Dry
Lube Ltd.
MillerCoors' brewery in Virginia recently celebrated saving over 15
million gallons of water since installing our system in 2007.

Manager), Tony Cofield (Training Specialist) and Wayne Cripe
(Purchasing Manager).
Another recent success at the MillerCoors Shenandoah brewery was an
immediate 80% reduction in can wastage following the installation of a
Dry Lube system.
Dry Lube has recently been selected by a number of companies to provide its service including:
- UK’s leading independent drinks company, Halewood International
whose brands include Lambrini sparkling wine and Crabbies ginger wine,
are the first company in the UK to successfully convert all their glass
bottles on stainless steel conveyor lines to dry lubrication. Gary
Coles, Halewood International’s Engineering Manager said; “With the aid
of Dry Lube Ltd we have been able to establish a cleaner, safer and
greener method of lubrication for our bottling lines. We have been
impressed by the installation of the system and the positive impact it
has already had on our business."
- Dairy Crest in Liverpool, UK, successfully converted two returnable
glass bottle lines to Dry Lube, saving money and helping to meet Dairy
Crest’s Environmental targets.
- At a major brewery in Texas, Dry Lube demonstrated its ability to
remove the need for water-based lubricants on inverted can lines; all
safety and taste tests were successful.
During 2009, over 50% of our new installations were on returnable glass
bottles; one-way glass bottles on stainless steel conveyors; and
inverted can lines. This demonstrated the trust our customers place in
the very specific skills and solutions which Dry Lube engineers bring
to these demanding environments.
As the issue of water savings, power savings and safety become even
more important to our customers and the environment, we’ve seen demand
for our services increase and significant new installations have
already begun this year. They include:
- Tennent Caledonian Brewery in Glasgow have installed Dry Lube on the largest can line in Europe.
- Coca-Cola Wakefield, the largest carbonated soft drinks site in
Europe, have announced a £13m investment in a new can line and have
chosen our Dry Lube system.
We are currently working with companies in South America, South Africa,
and across Europe, who are looking to switch their wet lube systems to
our water free, energy saving dry lubrication technology.
We continue to develop our business in North America where we are
looking to establish a company presence later this year to serve our
growing customer base, more news on that exciting development in the
next issue.
