Food grade lubricants are specialized lubricants that are acceptable for food processing applications, equipment, and plants. These lubricants include FM greases, USP white oils, and synthetic FM gear oils. What makes food-grade lubricants so unique? They are made with highly refined white oils and must be handled in a highly specialized way that prevents contamination, ensuring the product’s purity. This is necessary because in the food processing industry, details are essential. Lubricants that come into contact with food have to be harmless, yet must provide protection for all moving parts. While a contaminated lubricant can cause serious health issues for employees and consumers, a lubricant that is pure but not effective can cause machinery failure requiring replacement or lengthy downtime. Both of these dangerous outcomes should be avoided at all costs. AOCUSA’s food-grade lubricants will satisfy both purity and quality standards to make sure that your business is running efficiently and safely.
