Description
The production of food products implies supplementary requirements to guarantee consumer safety. Even accidental contamination should be anticipated, so lubricants used in this industry are subject to strict rules.
CONDAT greases formulated for the agri-food industry and animal nutrition take account of these parameters and guarantee safety in case of incidental contact with foodstuffs.
All the ingredients in H1-approved greases are authorised in case of accidental contact with food:
- specific additives
- approved thickeners
- white or synthetic oils
We work with the 2 organisations recognised by lubricant grease professionals:
- InS
- NSF
Applications
- Roller bearings, plain bearings, bearings
- Articulations, axles
- Pelleting presses
- Oven racks, conveyors
- Rails, guides, chains
- Presses, bottling machines
Characteristics
Only certain types of thickener are H1 approved:
- aluminium complexes
- calciums
- micronised silicas
- PTFE
Our range includes all of these, to meet the requirements of all lubrication issues.
Conventional greases can nevertheless be used in the food sector, but they must never come into contact with foodstuffs.
All these greases can be offered in grades NLGI 000 to NLGI 3. Viscosity at 40°C can vary according to the target application from less than 15 cSt to more than 1000 cSt.
Range of greases for the food industry:
| H1 approved | Thickener | Performance | Applications |
|---|---|---|---|
| NUTRIGREASE | Al complex, Calcium or fumed silica | Adherence, heavy loads, anti-corrosion protection | Animal nutrition, wine industry, food processing... |
| PYRATEX / PYRASYTNH | PTFE | Very high temperature, lifetime greasing, resistance to acids and bases | Oven racks, cold storage, abattoirs... |
| T FLON | PTFE | Aerosols, protection, favour sliding | Abattoirs, refrigerated warehouses, cheese dairies... |
Product benefits
Because of their technical qualities, synthetic greases are the obvious choice for certain applications. They can also be an alternative for optimising and spacing out your maintenance operations.
| Characteristics | Customer benefits |
|---|---|
| Lubricating performance with respect for regulatory requirements | Protection and lubrication of equipment = Contributes to your productivity |
| Wide range with several different technologies, available in cartridges, kegs or barrels.. | Correspond to your service conditions = technical solution => control of maintenance costs |
| H1 Approval, in case of accidental contact with foodstuffs | Avoids the risk of contamination by conventional greases => Consumer safety and quality assurance for the manufacturer |
