JAX Introduces Angel-Guard Seamer Fluids
New Fluids offer high performance, extended life for lubricated parts of high-speed beverage can seamers

MENOMONEE FALLS, WI (December 16, 2004) - To provide enhanced wear protection and extend the fluid life of newer, high-speed beverage can seamers, Behnke Lubricants Inc/JAX has developed the Angel-Guard line of 100 percent synthetic, food-grade seamer fluids. 

Today's newer oil-lubricated beverage can seamer models typically range from 12- to 18-station units. They utilize a recirculating system that requires a high-performance fluid to avoid excessive wear. JAX specially compounded the Angel-Guard Fluids to provide long-term wear and corrosion protection, and to extend the life of the can seamers. JAX Angel-Guard Fluids also contain Micronox®. 

"Our success in the formulation of JAX Angel-Guard Seamer Fluids has allowed us to expand further in the can seamer market," says Eric Peter, president of Behnke Lubricants Inc/JAX. "Our ongoing research and testing of lubricant fluids provides our customers with products that maximize machine life and performance, while ultimately reducing maintenance costs."

To handle the variety of products packaged with high-speed seamers, JAX has developed two formulation versions of Angel-Guard. JAX Angel-Guard Fluid D is a demulsifying lubricant used on seamers that process low fructose or corn syrup products where less of the processed product combines with the lubricating fluid. It provides optimum water contamination separation characteristics for easier filtration, lower filter pressures and extended drain intervals. JAX Angel-Guard Fluid E is an emulsifying/dispersant lubricant used on seamers with a higher concentration of fructose or corn syrup sweeteners where the processed product may combine with the lubricating fluid on a consistent basis. This allows machines to run more efficiently while keeping the sugars from collecting on internal components of the seamers. Both fluids are FDA food-grade compliant and can handle packaged products such as beer, soda, fruit juice and mineral water. 

JAX Angel-Guard Fluids include a free, ongoing oil analysis program through JAX RPM Laboratory, to proactively monitor fluid condition and machine performance.
