Existuje len málo priemyselných prevádzok, kde je výber maziva taký dôležitý ako pri spracovaní potravinárskych výrobkov. Takéto oleje musia byť bezpečné pre potraviny, aby sa výsledné potraviny mohli predávať verejnosti, a preto Oil Store starostlivo vybrala rad mazív a mazív bezpečných pre potraviny vyrábaných lídrami na trhu, ako je napr Mobil a Fuchs, aby vyhovovali všetkým požiadavkám na výrobu potravín. Existuje ochranná legislatíva na ochranu verejnosti, pokiaľ ide o spracovanie potravín, a preto tie najlepšie mazivá bezpečné pre potraviny musia byť primerane certifikované tam, kde existuje možnosť kontaktu s potravinami. Produkty, ktoré predávame, sú zvyčajne certifikované NSF, ako aj NSF registrované na použitie pri spracovaní potravín. Pri formulovaní takýchto mazív sa zohľadňujú aj normy kvality FLT. Okrem toho sú niektoré mazivá šité na mieru na použitie pri extrémne vysokých teplotách, ako sú tie, ktoré sa nachádzajú v závodoch na spracovanie a balenie potravín a nápojov. Ďalšie oleje a tuky bezpečné pre potraviny zahŕňajú mazivá vynikajúcej kvality, ktoré sú navrhnuté na použitie s typmi ložísk, kompresorov, prevodoviek a hydraulických systémov, ktoré sa často nachádzajú v továrňach na výrobu potravín. Oil Store môže dodať ten správny produkt pre dané zariadenie na spracovanie potravín a príslušnú úlohu, takže si môžete objednať s dôverou. Nezabudnite nás kontaktovať, ak vám môžeme akýmkoľvek spôsobom pomôcť s výberom.
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 a pharmaceutical manufacturing sectors.Key characteristics of food-safe lubricants
Featuring a clean formulation, food-safe lubricants are free from heavy metals such as arsenic a lead, as well as teratogens, mutagens a 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 a 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 a 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 a 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 a help prevent rust, extending equipment lifespan. They are also compatible with multiple materials found in food-safe applications, such as rubber seals, plastics a 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 a 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 a combat corrosion a rust on items such as trolleys a 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 a secondary cooling a 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 a seals.
