Internationally know and respected, LE is dedicated to maximizing equipment life and uptime and reducing maintenance and energy costs by emphasizing: Product Line – Advanced Technology – Quality – Customer Service & Support – Prompt Delivery of Product. From its beginning in 1951, LE has recognized and filled the need for heavy-duty, high performance quality lubricants which exceed the capabilities of ordinary, commercial quality lubricants. Throughout our history we at LE have continued to follow one basic philosophy:

 
     
 

“We at LE strive deliberately to design the world’s finest Lubricants, in order to achieve the highest possible level of performance, without regard to the cost of base oils or additives, or the price for which such lubricants must sell. They must be unique, exclusive and proprietary to LE. They also most deliver to the user a value far greater than can be obtained form other products for the same application.”

Field experiences and customer testimonials have shown that LE lubricants consistantly deliver higher performance than other premium grade lubricants. They extend lubrication intervals and equipment life, and significantly reduce wear, energy requirements, downtime and maintenance costs, thereby recovering the initial cost of the lubricant many times over. These lubricants have been successfully used for many years
by industrial, commercial, governmental, institutional and agricultural customers in a wide variety of applications throughout the United States and many other countries.

Lubrication of equipment in food industry applications requires high quality, high performance lubricants that stand up to some of the harshest environmental conditions found anywhere. Lubricants must resist moisture, high heat, low temperatures, shock loading, high speeds, mild acids and alkalines, soaps and cleaners. They are also required to be approved by the United States Department of Agriculture for use in food plants under guidelines set forth by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration in the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR). Many food industry plants operate on a continuous 24-hour a day schedule which adds to the challenge to provide superior lubrication for many varied types of equipment. The food industry includes bakeries, beverage production, canned, frozen, and preserved vegetables and fruits, dairy products, meat, seafood, and poultry.

LE uses highly refined 100% paraffinic base oils. These oils have vastly superior lubricating characteristics – greater oxidation resistance, tougher film strength, better lubricity and greater compatibility with hoses and seals.

LE’s own additive research and manufacturing company continually develops more effective and efficient high
technology additives proprietary to LE. All this technology is incorporated into LE lubricants so they are finest available.

 
     
 

ALMASOL® - reduces friction, wear and chemical attack while withstanding extremely high loads and temperatures to 1900°F. (1038°C).

   

MONOLEC® - vastly increases oil film strength and residues friction, heat and wear by separating moving metal components and minimizing metal-to-metal contact.

   

QUINPLEX® - provides superb water and moisture resistance, as well as enhanced “clingability”. Greases with QUINPLEX resist “pound out” better.
