Why do food manufacturers choose food-grade grease?
In the food industry, the working conditions involved in food equipment are relatively complex, covering high temperatures, shocks, low temperatures, acid and alkali corrosion, water, water vapor, etc. Each running component needs to be lubricated with grease to ensure that the equipment lasts for a long time. There will be no sudden shutdown during time work, which will affect the production progress. Due to the special industrial requirements of food and beverage equipment, when the equipment is producing food, there will be situations where food accidentally comes into contact with the equipment and equipment accessories. For example: filling equipment, packaging equipment, palletizing machinery, refrigeration and preservation equipment and other food machinery. Leakage, splashing, dripping, evaporation or smoke of lubricating oil from food processing machines may cause product contamination and cause harm to the human body.
SVKV Food-Grade Lubricating Greases, specially designed for the food and medical industries, are food-grade lubricants that operate from -50°C to 220°C. Food-grade lubricating greases typically refer to NSF-certified lubricants, mainly used in food, beverage, cosmetics, pharmaceutical, and medical equipment manufacturing industries. In food processing, these greases eliminate concerns about accidental contact with food while effectively protecting mechanical equipment friction points under harsh working conditions. SVKV food-grade lubricating greases meet the NSF H1 food-grade international certification standard. So, what types of food-grade lubricating greases are available? SVKV has the answer:
SVKV SVKV Food-Grade Gear Lubricating Grease This grease is made from natural white paraffin-based oil thickened with complex aluminum soap, specially formulated to meet the high requirements of the beverage and food processing and packaging industries. It offers excellent lubrication, oxidation resistance, corrosion resistance, high and low-temperature tolerance, and anti-emulsification properties. With a long service life, it effectively reduces equipment wear, extends equipment lifespan, and lowers maintenance frequency. Applications: Lubrication and noise reduction for food machinery gears and slides; lubrication of gear transmission mechanisms and rotating shafts in juicers, mixers, and other food machinery; lubrication and sealing of pharmaceutical industry machinery.
SVKV SVKV Food-Grade Bearing Lubricating Grease This grease is made from natural white paraffin-based oil thickened with complex aluminum soap, specially formulated to meet the high requirements of the beverage and food processing and packaging industries. Applications: Bearings in filling, capping, and washing equipment in the food, beverage, and cosmetics industries; bearings in small household appliances like canning machines, juicers, mixers, and bread makers in food contact environments; lubrication of bearings in medical devices and toys that have direct contact with the human body.
SVKV SVKV Food-Grade Low-Temperature Lubricating Grease This grease is made from refined food-grade white oil as the base oil, complex aluminum soap as the thickener, and includes anti-freezing, anti-corrosion, and antioxidant additives. Applications: Lifetime lubrication and protection of mechanical friction parts such as rolling/sliding bearings and gears in low-temperature environments; lubrication of various bearings and transmission mechanisms in low-temperature environments, bearings of low-temperature liquid transfer pump motors, refrigerator tracks, etc.
SVKV SVKV Food-Grade High-Temperature Lubricating Grease This grease is made from high-temperature resistant food-grade synthetic oil thickened with special complex aluminum, and includes antioxidant and anti-corrosion additives. It is designed for lubricating food processing machinery and pharmaceutical equipment that occasionally comes into contact with food, suitable for use in the temperature range of -40°C to +300°C. Applications: Lubrication of chains, guides, and gears in food baking equipment; lubrication of gears, splined shafts, chains, bushings, slides, rails, cams, and valves in filling, capping, and washing equipment used in wet environments or in the food, beverage, and cosmetics industries; lubrication of mechanical equipment parts in water-flushed and high-temperature working environments.
SVKV Food-Grade Valve Sealing Lubricating Grease This is a high-viscosity lubricating silicone grease made from food-grade silicone oil thickened with high-purity inorganic thickeners and includes various additives such as antioxidants and anti-corrosion agents. Applications: Lubrication and sealing of friction surfaces, plugs, valves, plugs, gaskets, O-rings, and wedge seals in high and low-temperature environments requiring good water resistance; lubrication and sealing of food processing equipment, chemical and pharmaceutical industry machinery with food-grade H1 requirements; sealing and lubrication of hot and cold water taps, bathroom equipment, periscopes, water treatment devices, and valves.
