Hemm ftit operazzjonijiet industrijali fejn l-għażla tal-lubrikant hija kruċjali daqs kemm tkun meta jiġu pproċessati prodotti tal-ikel. Tali żjut jeħtieġ li jkunu sikuri għall-ikel sabiex l-oġġetti tal-ikel li jirriżultaw jinbiegħu lill-pubbliku, u huwa għalhekk li aħna Oil Store għażlet bir-reqqa firxa ta 'lubrikanti u grassijiet sikuri għall-ikel, prodotti minn mexxejja tas-suq bħal Mobil u Fuchs, biex taqdi kull rekwiżit tal-produzzjoni tal-ikel. Teżisti leġiżlazzjoni protettiva biex tipproteġi lill-pubbliku fejn jidħol l-ipproċessar tal-ikel, u huwa għalhekk li l-aqwa lubrikanti sikuri tal-ikel jeħtieġ li jiġu ċċertifikati b’mod xieraq fejn ikun hemm xi ċans ta’ kuntatt mal-ikel. Tipikament, il-prodotti li nbiegħu huma ċertifikati NSF kif ukoll NSF irreġistrati għall-użu fl-ipproċessar tal-ikel. L-Istandards tal-Kwalità tal-FLT jinżammu wkoll f'moħħhom meta jiġu fformulati tali lubrikanti. Barra minn hekk, xi lubrikanti huma mfassla apposta għall-użu f'temperaturi estremament elevati, bħal dawk li jinstabu fl-impjanti tal-ipproċessar u l-ippakkjar tal-ikel u x-xorb. Żjut u grassijiet oħra sikuri għall-ikel jinkludu lubrikanti ta 'kwalità superb li huma ddisinjati għall-użu mat-tip ta' sistemi ta 'bearing, kompressur, gear u idrawliċi li spiss jinstabu fil-fabbriki tal-produzzjoni tal-ikel. Oil Store jista 'jipprovdi biss il-prodott it-tajjeb għat-tagħmir tal-ipproċessar tal-ikel u l-kompitu involut, sabiex tkun tista' tordna b'kunfidenza. Kun żgur li tagħmel kuntatt jekk nistgħu ngħinu bl-għażla tiegħek b'xi mod.
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 u pharmaceutical manufacturing sectors.Key characteristics of food-safe lubricants
Featuring a clean formulation, food-safe lubricants are free from heavy metals such as arsenic u lead, as well as teratogens, mutagens u 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 u 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 u 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 u 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 u help prevent rust, extending equipment lifespan. They are also compatible with multiple materials found in food-safe applications, such as rubber seals, plastics u 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 u 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 u combat corrosion u rust on items such as trolleys u 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 u secondary cooling u 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 u seals.
