Greases for food machinery

Greases for food processing equipment are specialized industrial lubricants used in the food industry to ensure efficient and safe operation of machinery.

These lubricants are specifically designed to meet strict hygiene and safety requirements, as they may come into contact with food products. They are certified accordingly and comply with international standards, such as NSF H1, meaning they are approved for incidental food contact.

Selecting the right lubricants can significantly enhance equipment performance, reduce downtime and maintenance costs, and ensure the safety and quality of food products.

Key features of food-grade lubricants:

• Composition: Made from non-toxic, food-safe components, often synthetic oils or food-grade mineral oils.
• Certification: They must be appropriately certified, such as with NSF H1 or similar certifications, confirming their safety for use in the food industry.
• Application: These lubricants are used in various food processing machines, such as conveyors, mixers, packaging equipment, and other machinery where it’s crucial to prevent metal surface wear and corrosion, ensuring the longevity and efficiency of the equipment.
• Safety: Since these lubricants may come into incidental contact with food, they must be non-toxic and harmless to human health.
• Efficiency: Food-grade lubricants provide excellent lubrication and protection, operate within a wide temperature range, and are resistant to water and steam, common in food production environments.
