Food grade chain oil is a special lubricant formulated for use in food production facilities to safely lubricate chains, gears, and moving equipment parts despite the risk of food contact. It is NSF H1 or FDA approved and complies with food hygiene standards.
1. Key Features
-
Safe for Food Contact
- Food grade certified; non-toxic if it comes into contact with food.
- Does not cause changes in taste, odor, or color.
-
High Lubrication Performance
- Reduces friction and prevents wear on chains and gears.
- Durable under high temperatures and mechanical stress (120–200°C depending on the product).
-
Resistant to Water and Chemicals
- Maintains its effectiveness in washing, steam, and humid environments.
-
Easy Application
- Can be applied in spray or liquid form, easily adheres to chain surfaces.
2. Areas of Use
- Chains of filling and packaging machines
- Conveyor belts and conveyor chains
- Oven, cooking, and sterilization lines
- Industrial kitchen chain mechanisms
- Automatic filling and capping lines
3. Advantages
- Ensures food safety → no contamination risk in the production line
- Extends equipment life → reduces wear and friction
- Reduces maintenance costs → reduces chain and gear failures
- Resistant to temperature and humidity → safe use in challenging conditions
4. Points to Consider
- Material compatibility: Reaction risk with seals and plastic parts should be checked
- For high-temperature chains, a high-temperature food grade chain oil should be selected
- Excess oil should be cleaned after application to prevent contamination of the production line
- Shelf life and storage conditions should comply with manufacturer instructions
