Food-grade lubricants: your complete, food manufacturing business maintenance solution

FOOD-grade lubricants have come into the spotlight as a very important issue in the operational maintenance of the food production and processing industry. Following two major events that have caused major disruptions in the continuity of functions for businesses, namely the listeriosis outbreak of 2017 and the COVID-19 crisis that started in late 2019, food safety, and the conditions in processing environments, as well as how they are maintained have never been more important for the continent. 

But why food-grade lubricants? 

While health and safety laws are seen as a priority for the food industry, hygiene and cleanliness standards are just as important on the workshop floor. 

This is where lubricants have to perform their designated task of reducing wear, friction, and corrosion while having the added undertaking of being food safe. 

The relentless environment of food processing environments is such that products need not only be able to endure the stresses and strains of machinery that are heavily used, but also provide optimal protection against oxidation, rust, bacteria, and any other form of contamination.
