Food grade lubricants have the same or better lubrication effect as industrial lubricants.
Food-grade lubricants are mostly in direct contact with food machinery and equipment, meeting the strict requirements of the world food industry. Food grade lubricating oil is tasteless and odorless, and does not react chemically with packaging materials such as plastics. Food-grade lubricants improve mechanical efficiency, improve heat dissipation, and reduce wear, friction, corrosion, and oxidation.
First, understand what a food-grade lubricant is. Food-grade lubricating oil is mainly made by mixing base oil and additives. Since food-grade lubricants are mainly used in the food industry, the requirements for lubricants are very strict, which not only meets mechanical lubrication, but also cannot pollute products and affect food safety.
In addition to all the functions of traditional industrial lubricants, food-grade lubricants are also physiologically inert, odorless, certified by the international authority NSF (National Sanitation Foundation), non-toxic and harmless, and are used in food, medicine, Special lubricant for processing equipment in cosmetics and other industries.
Secondly, food-grade lubricants are specially developed for the conditions of food processing companies, and are more suitable for high temperature, water, and steam environments than industrial lubricants. Therefore, the use of food-grade lubricating oil under food conditions has a longer oil exchange cycle, fewer oil exchange times, better waterproof effect, and better steam resistance.
Some manufacturers believe that the use of cooking oil is the safest, but this statement is also wrong. The working temperature of edible oil is not high, and it is only suitable for parts that are in frequent contact with food. For example, the lubrication of coffee machines. However, edible fats and oils cannot be used in parts of other production machinery that require lubrication. Edible oil has a short lifespan, extremely poor resistance to high and low temperatures, extremely poor physiological inertia, and molds are prone to deterioration, which can easily lead to insufficient mechanical lubrication and contaminate food. The result is unimaginable.
Now, manufacturers of food and beverages, instant foods, and drugs are feeling unprecedented pressure. They can imagine that they must maintain a higher level of quality and safety than before, improve production efficiency, and reduce total cost of ownership. However, the tendency of "small quantity and variety" of products and packaging also makes automated operations more complicated and difficult to predict.
Food, medicine, daily necessities and other industries are changing rapidly. While ABB allows customers in these industries to quickly adapt to changes, avoiding high downtime costs is the core of the "factory of the future".
