Food Grade Oils
Regulatory responsibilities, consumer awareness and a focus on public health are challenging food and beverage processors to choose the right food-grade lubricant for every application in their processes. Here’s what you need to know.
The food processing industry presents unique challenges to lubricant formulation engineers, lubricant marketers, plant lubrication engineers and equipment designers. While it is never desirable for lubricants to be allowed to contaminate raw materials, work-in-progress or finished product, the consequences of a lubricant-contaminated product are rarely more acute than in the food processing industry.
As such, lubricants used in this industry have requirements, protocols and performance expectations that go well beyond typical industrial lubricants. This article will identify the basic differences between H1, H2 and H3 lubricants, their requirements and formulations, as well as proper lubricant selection, which is critical to food safety and machine reliability.
