SKF has launched a range of Food Grade Lubricants that may increase reliability and safety of applications in the food and beverage industry. The specially developed products are NSF/H1, Kosher and Halal approved.

 

 

SKF’s range of Food Grade Lubricants has been specially developed to perform reliably in the typical application conditions of the food and beverage industry and meet the needs of producers to provide safe products.

 

“Good lubrication management practices are vital for our Food and Beverage customers,” says Jean Christophe Brossard, Global Manager, Food & Beverage Segment, SKF. “Lubrication influences efficiency of assets and energy consumption whilst inappropriate practices can impact food safety. Launching these lubricants is strengthening SKF's ability to support customers with food grade lubricants plant wide, in line with HACCP (Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Point) processes. Combined with our lubrication systems, re-lubrication free solutions and lubrication management knowledge, this gives our customers many options for optimizing lubrication management on site.”

 

SKF also markets a line of non-food grade lubricants including its LGBB 2  wind turbine blade and yaw grease (contains a lithium complex thickener and synthetic PAO oil), LHMT 68 chain oil, LHHT 265 synthetic chain oil, LUB 200 synthetic biodegradable lubricating oil for metal machining, plus a full line of other non-food grade EP and non-EP high and low temperature greases.
