Food Grade Greases
What are Food Grade Greases?
Food Grade Greases are a specialized form of lubricants that are safe to use in food production areas. They are formulated to ensure minimum contamination risk while providing maximum efficiency in food processing systems. These greases play a fundamental role in maintaining the smooth operation of machinery, reducing friction and wear, and consequently extending the life of your equipment.
Crafted with carefully selected base oil and thickeners in compliance with food safety regulations, these greases effectively withstand various pressures, loads, and temperatures commonly encountered in food processing environments. Whether it's rotating belts, conveyor systems, or high-speed fillers, these greases can safeguard a wide range of equipment.
Apart from their lubrication capabilities, Food Grade Greases also offer superior protection against rust, corrosion, and wear without compromising safety standards. This makes them an invaluable element in food, beverage, pharmaceutical, and other industries where hygiene and safety cannot be compromised.
Whether you're seeking to enhance operational efficiency, optimize maintenance, or uphold the highest safety standards, our range of Food Grade Greases offers a reliable, high-performance solution for your food processing needs.

What is food grade grease and where is it used?
Food grade grease is a type of lubricant specifically formulated to be safe for use in machinery that processes food. It is used in equipment where there is a potential for incidental contact with food products, such as mixers, conveyors, and slicers, to ensure operations are safe and contamination-free.
How often should I apply food grade grease to my machinery?
The frequency of application depends on the manufacturer's guidelines and the intensity of machinery usage. Regular checks are recommended to determine if the grease needs replenishing, especially in high-friction areas where the grease may degrade faster.
Is there a difference between regular grease and food grade grease?
Yes, food grade grease is formulated to meet stricter safety and health standards. It is generally odorless, tasteless, and non-toxic. Regular grease may contain additives that are not safe for contact with food products.
What should I do if I accidentally use regular grease instead of food grade grease?
If regular grease comes into contact with any part of machinery used for food processing, it's important to clean the affected area thoroughly to remove all traces of the regular grease. Replace it with food grade grease and consider inspecting the machinery to ensure it hasn't affected the quality or safety of the food being processed.
