Application areas of food grade grease

2020-06-16 16:08:39

Food grade greases are widely used in the following fields:

  ◇In beer and beverage machinery and equipment, the most critical part is the filling machine. Its wine tank, distributor, filling valve and capping head must all be in contact with beer and beverages, and food-grade grease must be used in these parts. 

  ◇The production equipment for food packaging materials requires the use of food-grade greases. Glass bottles, easy-to-open aluminum cans, composite packaging (Tetra Pak), PET bottles, PET pull cans, PVC bottles, etc. used for beverage packaging all belong to the inner packaging that is in direct contact with food. The lubrication of the production equipment of these food packaging materials According to the specified hygienic standards, use H1-grade food-grade grease.

  ◇Dairy production equipment is made of stainless steel, all bearings used are sealed for life, and components such as drive gears are also made closed, isolated from the product or water. The valves and homogenizers through which the milk flows need to be lubricated with food-grade grease.

  ◇Soda and ice cream manufacturing machinery is widely distributed and has poor production conditions, and generally does not have good lubrication management conditions. Among them, all mechanical friction parts that may come into contact with dietary products are required to use food-grade lubricating grease, and when necessary, refined coconut oil, refined castor oil or refined palm oil can be used instead of white oil to prevent food contamination.

  ◇The lubricating grease for sugar making machinery, like other lubricating greases for food industry machinery, is required to be tasteless, odorless and non-toxic. Especially in the process that may be in contact with the finished sugar, more attention should be paid to the white oil that is generally deeply refined with sulfuric acid. In order to improve its oiliness, animal and vegetable oils such as refined castor oil and coconut oil are sometimes added. The lubrication of rolling bearings of sugar machines requires the use of food-grade grease.

  ◇Many equipments used in fruit and vegetable processing require a lot of water at room temperature and higher temperature, and are susceptible to the impact of water mist or jet impact, resulting in the loss of grease and lubricating oil, especially various cleaning machines and cleaning and disinfection machines. Therefore, it is required to use food-grade grease with good protective properties and water resistance.

  ◇Food-grade grease is also widely used in feed production machinery and drinking water distribution pipeline industries.
