Multipurpose, extreme
pressure, premium quality NLGI No. 2 grease designed to lubricate
food machinery and canning equipment, especially where incidental
contact with the food may occur.
Food Machinery Grease is pure white, odourless and
tasteless. It is manufactured from pharmacopoeia grade white
mineral oil with a special aluminium complex thickener and contains
rust and oxidation inhibitors and extreme pressure additives. All
ingredients meet Section 178-3570 of the US Food and Drug
Administration regulations and it is approved by AQIS as a
Lubricant Type A - for use wherever food or food products may be
subject to incidental contact with the lubricant.
RECOMMENDED USE
Designed to lubricate machinery and equipment used in producing,
manufacturing, packaging, processing, preparing, treating,
transporting or holding food. Offers the safety and convenience of
serving all grease points in the plant due to its high load
carrying capacity and multipurpose characteristics
Suitable for plain and anti-friction bearings, slides, guides and
other moving parts. It may be used in equipment not associated with
food and as such represents an excellent grease for
rationalisation.
Useable temperature range in continuous service is -30 to
160°C.
Maximum temperature for short term exposure is 210°C.
CUSTOMER BENEFITS
- Protects against rust and corrosion, especially bearings and
other moving parts subjected to wet conditions (high humidity,
water washing, steam, etc). It also protects during periods of
machine downtime.
- Resists water washout and provides a seal against the entrance
of water, and fruit and vegetable juices into bearings.
- Compatible with and maintains its consistency in the presence
of beverages and food juices.
- Multipurpose, extreme pressure grease suitable for varied
services within a plant as well as food applications. This helps to
rationalise grease grades.
- Resists oxidation and has high stability against chemical
change
- Has high mechanical stable. It is shear stable and maintains
its consistency when severely worked in bearings.
For use whenever food or food products may be subject to incidental
contact with the lubricant. If any incidental contact occurs, the
grease will not affect the colour, odour or taste of the food
product. The grease is packaged in food-grade containers.
