Der er få industrielle operationer, hvor valget af smøremiddel er så afgørende, som det er ved forarbejdning af fødevarer. Sådanne olier skal være fødevaresikre, for at de resulterende fødevarer kan sælges til offentligheden, hvorfor vi på Oil Store har nøje udvalgt en række fødevaresikre smøremidler og fedtstoffer, produceret af markedsledere som f.eks Mobil og Fuchs, for at passe til ethvert fødevareproduktionsbehov. Beskyttende lovgivning eksisterer for at beskytte offentligheden, når det kommer til fødevareforarbejdning, hvorfor de allerbedste fødevaresikre smøremidler skal være passende certificeret, hvor der er nogen chance for kontakt med fødevarer. Typisk er de produkter, vi sælger, NSF-certificeret samt NSF-registreret til brug i fødevareforarbejdning. FLT-kvalitetsstandarderne tages også i tankerne, når sådanne smøremidler formuleres. Derudover er nogle smøremidler skræddersyet til brug ved ekstremt høje temperaturer, såsom dem, der findes i fødevare- og drikkevareforarbejdnings- og emballeringsanlæg. Andre fødevaresikre olier og fedtstoffer omfatter smøremidler af enestående kvalitet, der er designet til brug med den type lejer, kompressorer, gear og hydrauliske systemer, der ofte findes i fødevareproduktionsfabrikker. Oil Store kan levere det helt rigtige produkt til fødevareforarbejdningsudstyret og den involverede opgave, så du kan bestille med tillid. Sørg for at du tager kontakt, hvis vi på nogen måde kan hjælpe med dit valg.
What are food-safe lubricants?
Food-safe lubricants, sometimes referred to as food-grade lubricants, are solutions that have been specially formulated to have non-toxic properties. They are specifically designed for lubricating machinery used in operations where incidental contact with consumable products can occur, such as in the beverage, food og pharmaceutical manufacturing sectors.Key characteristics of food-safe lubricants
Featuring a clean formulation, food-safe lubricants are free from heavy metals such as arsenic og lead, as well as teratogens, mutagens og carcinogens. They are engineered to have no taste, colour or odour, so they do not alter the appearance, aroma or flavour of consumable products. Food-safe lubricants are also non-toxic og chemically stable to help ensure safety if trace amounts enter a production batch. To safeguard sensitive consumers, they are also designed without common dietary allergens. Applications for food-safe lubricants often demand durability og high performance. As such, they can withstand an extreme range of temperatures, from cold-storage freezers to high-heat ovens, without evaporating or breaking down. To cope with aggressive cleaning chemicals og processes such as steam sterilisation, which are used to keep workplaces hygienic, they can also resist moisture. As robust lubricants, they effectively reduce mechanical friction og help prevent rust, extending equipment lifespan. They are also compatible with multiple materials found in food-safe applications, such as rubber seals, plastics og elastomers.Classifications of food-safe lubricants
There are different food-safe classifications for different applications.H1 lubricants
These food-grade lubricants are used in food-processing operations where there is the potential for incidental food contact. To achieve H1 approval, lubricant manufacturers such as Fuchs or Klüber must demonstrate that all ingredients in the formulation are permitted substances.H2 lubricants
Suitable for use on machine parts og equipment in areas where no contact with food or food-related products is possible, these lubricants may also be used as release agents on machinery.H3 lubricants
Sometimes called soluble oils, these lubricants are used to clean equipment og combat corrosion og rust on items such as trolleys og meat hooks. While they are food-grade, they must be wiped off before the equipment is used.HT1 lubricants
A type of heat-transfer oil, this food-safe lubricant is used in both primary og secondary cooling og heating systems at food-processing facilities where incidental food contact is a risk.3H lubricants
These lubricants are release agents, typically vegetable oils, used on equipment where contact with food is inevitable, such as blades, plates og seals.
