What lubricants should I use for the upper and/or lower punches?

• On all new Hata Presses, an Oiling System Assembly is installed which uses a food-grade oil to lubricate the upper punches.
  
• Older Hata Presses that do not have an automatic Oiling System, are manually lubricated with food-grade grease and oils for the upper punches.
  
• The Hata Press has an automatic lubricating system for the lower punch barrels as well.
  
• Depending on your Hata Press Model, lubricants that should be used for the lower punches will vary. Please check your Hata Press Manual for specifics.
  
• The lubrication for the lower punches does not need to be a foodgrade based material, because the lower punches do not come in contact with the product compression area of the press.
