The primary issue in the food and beverage industry is the use of lubricants that are not certified as food-grade, halal, and kosher, failing to meet food safety standards according to ISO 22000 regulations. Consequently, the products produced lack consumer trust.

Successfully selecting the appropriate lubricant can enhance equipment performance, reduce downtime, and lower total operational costs. Interested? This is the page you’ve been looking for.

Several pieces of equipment that require food-grade lubricants include:

• Mixers, ovens
• Pumping & washing systems, filling & packaging, centralized lubrication systems, tank leak sealing
• Cutters, cooking chambers, conveyors
• Gearboxes, chains, valves

Companies that use the above equipment and need food-grade lubricants include:

• Bread, wafer, and candy manufacturers
• Dairy and beverage producers
• Processed meat producers
• Food packaging manufacturers
• Sugar mills
• Canned food producers, etc

Below are some examples of food and beverage industry equipment, their potential issues, and the appropriate type of food-grade lubricant.

Note: For optimal results, each type of equipment should use the most suitable type of lubricant.
