Ceramic Lubricants: The Revolution for Your Pellet System
Up to 95% less lubricant, 10x longer bearing life
🇨🇭Made in Switzerland
80+ companies worldwide already trust BATHAN
Our promise
Imagine: Your pellet press running on a fraction of the lubricant it used to, while your bearings last for years. What sounds impossible is already a reality for over 80 companies.
Our ceramic lubricants transform your metal surfaces into self-repairing, high-performance systems. Each operating cycle makes your system more efficient instead of more worn.
The secret? Hexagonal ceramic particles that form a permanent protective layer under pressure – like upgrading your machine to ceramic level without the cost.
🔬 Revolutionary Technology
Ceramic particles permanently smooth surfaces Under load, our hexagonal ceramic particles form a thermoplastic coating on metallic surfaces. This enables continuous smoothing of the surface with minimal material loss. Thanks to this technology, we can realize a ceramic coating on contact surfaces.
Self-repairing hybrid surfaces Your machines get the benefits of ceramic bearings without the cost and repair themselves during operation.
📊 Measurable results
Up to 95% less lubricant consumption Reduce your annual lubricant requirement from 105 barrels to just 5 barrels – a proven saving.
5-10x longer bearing life Extend the life of your rolling bearings from 500 hours to up to 5,000 hours and eliminate unplanned downtime.

Our Ceramic Lubricants
High-performance lubricants for your application
Every pellet press has its own challenges. While wood pellet plants struggle with extreme mechanical loads, food safety and compliance are paramount for animal feed presses.
What unites both: The need for lubricants that perform better than conventional greases. Our ceramic high-performance lubricants are precisely tailored to the specific requirements of your application.
The secret of our performance: Ceramic particles that permanently optimize your metal surfaces during operation. Less friction, less wear, less cost – more performance.
For wood pellet presses
Wood pellet presses operate under extreme conditions: High temperatures, permanent pressure and abrasive wood fibers challenge your roller bearings every day. Conventional lubricants regularly fail under these loads.
Our ceramic lubricants are specially developed for the harsh conditions of wood pelleting. They reduce lubricant consumption by up to 95% and extend bearing life by 5-10 times.
The result: Your wood pellet presses run more stably, efficiently and with significantly less maintenance.
For animal feed pellet presses
Animal feed pellet presses present you with a double challenge: Maximum performance with absolute food safety. Normal lubricants can pose health risks or fail under high loads.
Our NSF H1-certified ceramic lubricants are the world’s only MOSH/MOAH-free ceramic greases for the animal feed industry. They guarantee maximum food safety while reducing consumption by over 95%.
FDA-compliant, odorless and tasteless, kosher & halal certified – for unrestricted market access.

Frequently asked questions about ceramic lubricants
The most important questions and answers!
Ceramic lubricants contain hexagonal ceramic particles that form a permanent protective layer on metal surfaces under operating pressure. These particles smooth out imperfections and permanently reduce friction – your system becomes more efficient instead of more worn with each operating cycle.
Yes, our ceramic lubricants are fully compatible with all common pellet presses (CPM, Salmatec, Promill, Stolz). They can be used directly as a replacement for your previous lubricating grease – without system modification.
NSF H1 means that the lubricant is FDA-compliant and can be safely used in areas where occasional food contact is possible. Our H1-certified ceramic greases are also MOSH/MOAH-free and completely eliminate health risks.
MOSH/MOAH (mineral oil hydrocarbons) are suspected of being harmful to health and can get into the food chain. As the only supplier, we guarantee completely MOSH/MOAH-free ceramic lubricants for absolute food safety.
Typical savings are 95-98%. In concrete terms, this means: Instead of 100 barrels per year, you only need 2-5 barrels. This drastic reduction is possible due to the self-lubricating ceramic layer, which offers protection even without relubrication.
