Properties and Uses of Synthetic Food Machinery Lubricants
Operational conditions encountered in food machinery lubrication applications can sometimes require lubricant performance exceeding the capacity of mineral oil formulated food machinery lubricants. These conditions can include wide operating temperatures, contamination, or simply the desire to extend lubricant drain intervals or increase machinery energy efficiency. With these conditions, the use of food grade synthetic lubricants can be an option. But what are food grade synthetic lubricants? Are all synthetics the same? What advantages can they provide? Are there concerns surrounding their use? These are all important questions when considering the use of synthetic lubricants that will be discussed.
Topics discussed include:
- Review of requirements for food machinery lubricants
- Performance differences between mineral oil and synthetic lubricants
- Considerations for choosing a synthetic food machinery lubricant
- Review of best practices for food machinery lubricant storage and handling
