There will be parts on your spiral freezer that require lubrication in order to function great. You just need to find out which parts these are and comply with the appropriate lubrication practices. A good rule of thumb is if the part moves, it probably needs lubrication. These parts for a spiral freezer will include the conveyor system and motor. There may be more depending on how your particular spiral freezer is laid out. Once you found out which parts warrant lubrication, you can keep them protected from extra friction and hot temperature ranges.

Constantly Reevaluate Your Maintenance Practices

You can gauge this by inspecting relevant components of this system and conducting routine performance tests. Then you'll know if certain maintenance routines have a pay-off or if they need to be adjusted, even just slightly. Do this every now and then so that your maintenance routines truly make a difference in how a spiral freezer performs and holds up. 

If you want to make sure your spiral freezer continues to work brilliantly over the years, then it's a good idea to take time to learn the proper maintenance routines. Then you'll never feel like you're not doing enough for its care.
