Food Grade Greases
Machineries in the food industry need to be lubricated to ensure the smoothness in production and to reduce wear, corrosion, friction and oxidation. However, leakages can't be avoided and lubricants won’t discriminate when it comes to the material it comes in contact with. This is why it is important for food manufacturers to choose the right lubricant for the job in order to ensure the safety of the consumers.
Food grade grease functions like any other machinery lubricant which is to protect the equipment against corrosion, friction and oxidation. Additionally, it needs to resist degradation from water and chemicals and must not react towards elastomers and plastics.
Food-grade greases are used in various food-processing equipment and other industrial equipment applications. These include plain and rolling element bearings, joints, linkages and slides, centralized lubrication systems and enclosed gearboxes. Food-grade greases must not only perform the same technical functions as any other lubricant, they have other demanding requirements including:
- Resisting degradation from food products, chemicals, water and steam.
- Exhibiting a neutral behaviour when in contact with elastomers and plastics.
- Being physiologically inert, odourless, tasteless, nontoxic and harmless.
