Food-grade lubricants are non-toxic lubricants formulated for use in machinery that may come into contact with food, and comply with food safety standards. They reduce friction in production line equipment, prevent wear, and increase machine efficiency.
1. Areas of Use
A. Food Processing and Production Lines
- Filling machines: In bearings and pistons in bottle, jar, and packaging filling lines
- Capping and stoppering machines: In bearing and gear sections
- Conveyor belts and conveyors: In chains, bearings, and gears
B. Cooking and Oven Lines
- Oven bearings and chains: High-temperature resistant food-grade oils
- Baking tray movement mechanisms
C. Packaging and Wrapping Equipment
- Plastic, glass, or metal packaging lines
- Sealed machines and automatic filling machines
D. Cold Chain and Frozen Product Lines
- Ice cream machines and cold filling lines
- Ice machines and refrigerated conveyor belts
E. Industrial Kitchen and Catering Equipment
- Mixers, blenders, robotic cutting machines
- Fryers and cooking equipment
2. Advantages
- Food safety: NSF H1 or FDA 21 CFR 178.3570 approved
- Equipment protection: Protects bearings and gears against wear
- High and low temperature resistance: Can be used in cold and hot production lines
- Contamination prevention: Safe in case of food contact
3. Points to Consider
- Correct type and viscosity selection should be made
- For high-temperature lines, high-temperature food-grade oil should be preferred
- Storage and shelf life must comply with manufacturer instructions
- Must be applied in accordance with hygiene standards
