ILS Product Spotlight
JAX Food Grade Range
JAX have been at the forefront of food and beverage plant lubrication since the inception of true USDA food-grade lubricants nearly fifty years ago. They are one of the largest global manufacturers of food-grade greases, lubricants and aerosols and offer the latest technology for all food applications.
With the JAX range it is possible to move your plant from traditional mineral oils to food grade products without suffering from poorer lubrication performance. JAX has an extensive range of products based on pharmacopeia white oils, semi-synthetic and full synthetic base oils along with heavy duty greases such as those based oncalcium sulfonate technology. ILS import and distribute a full range of JAX H1-3H NSF and kosher certified products suitable for all food manufacturing applications. All products are registered with the NZFSA to C15 and NZ AsureQuality for use in the dairy and beverage industries. Refer to the ILS website https://ils.co.nz/ for all technical datasheets and NSF certificates, https://www.mpi.govt.nz/food-safety/ for New Zealand Food Safety certification and https://www.asurequality.com for NZ AsureQuality registration.

The Future of Racing, The Future of Fluids
Castrol & Panasonic Jaguar Racing
Future Technology = Future Fluids
While not requiring engine oil in the traditional sense, EV’s do require a range of fluids to operate effectively. As the engineering in electric vehicles evolves it is creating new technical challenges in the rapidly evolving area of transmission fluids, battery coolants and greases “Many hybrid and electric vehicles need different transmission fluids because electrical components, such as electric motors, are in contact with the lubricant and the transmission oil is operating at higher temperatures,” explains Matthias Donner, Castrol’s Global Driveline Product Development Manager. “In addition, the engines run at a much higher revolution which increases stresses on the oil , the torque on gears and bearings is higher and the oil needs to be compatible with components which conduct electricity.” As a world-leader in lubricants, and a partner of many of the worlds leading OEM’s, Castrol is at the forefront of developments in the “e-fluid” space. By working closely with vehicle and component manufacturers, Castrol is able to identify and solve the emerging engineering problems of EV’s to make these vehicles more efficient and increase their range. Examples include:
- Building the efficiency of the electrical motor and reducing the risk of breakdowns by optimizing the electrical properties of the gear oil
- Preventing corrosion of electrical components through good protection of copper parts
- Improving the cooling capabilities of the electrical engine to prevent overheating
The Evolution of Racing
Motorsport has always been a part of Castrol’s DNA – something that is still apparent today through partnerships with Renault F1 Team, Kelly Racing, Tickford Racing and more. As Castrol looks to the future with their fluids, it is also looking to the future of motorsport with Castrol partnering Panasonic Jaguar Racing as it embarks on season six of the ABB FIA Formula E Championship.
- Using Castrol’s advanced e-fluids onboard the new Jaguar I-TYPE 4, this partnership builds on a long and successful motorsport partnership. Over the years Jaguar Racing and Castrol have enjoyed extraordinary motorsport success, including victory at the prestigious Le Mans 24 Hours and the 24 Hours of Daytona. The addition of Castrol’s e-fluids to the team will allow Jaguar and Castrol to collaborate, learn and win on the track whilst further developing advanced technology and e-fluids for the award-winning Jaguar I-PACE and future roadgoing Jaguar vehicles.
- For season six, the Jaguar I-TYPE 4, featuring an all new motor, gearbox, inverter, rear suspension and dampers has seen its overall weight reduced offering improved handling and performance.
- The lightest and most efficient powertrain the team has ever produced, the Jaguar ITYPE 4 has a lower centre of gravity and will allow the team to push towards even more points, podiums and wins in season six.
- The new powertrain also features a new vehicle control module – which increases the processing capacity and allows faster rate of software development – this puts Jaguar at the forefront of battery electric vehicle innovation.
Technical Specifications of new I-Type 4:
- Maximum power: 250kW, equivalent to 335bhp
- Race Mode (maximum power available): 200Kw, equivalent to 270bhp
- Maximum power regeneration: 250kW
- Maximum speed: 280km/h (173mph)
- Acceleration 0-100 km/h: 2.8 seconds
- Battery weight: 385kg
- Minimum weight (inc. driver): 900kg (battery 385kg)
