  1. PETRO-CANADA Food Lubes for thought

  2. Food Grade Lubricants

  3. Features of Food Grade Lubricants The lubricants for the food industry are usually odourless and tasteless, and with a minimum of colour to allow them to meet all the current European and North American regulations. Consideration has to be given to Religious ways of preparing foods.

  4. Where are Food Grade Lubricants used? Food Grade Lubricants are used over a very wide range of applications from mixers to packaging or filling machines for beverages. Wide temperature range

  5. Where are Food Grade Lubricants used? Food grade lubricants are also widely used in industries like beverage, dairy, cheese, meat and sausage production, slaughterhouses, fish processing, frozen foods and coffee roasting.

  6. Lubricants Manufacturers Task Food Lubricants are developed to be suitable for the same applications where conventional oils can be found, and often under even more severe conditions. Thinks of heat, water, steam, salt, cleaning agents etc.

  7. Why Change to Food Lubricants? Food processing machines have been operating in food manufacturing factories for numerous years with normal lubricants. So why now change from conventional lubricants to food grade lubricants? There are two basic reasons – SAFETY & PERFORMANCE!

  8. SAFETY In our experience it is impossible to guarantee that lubricants don't come into contact with the food products. Food Grade Lubricants are formulated to be harmless if accidentally consumed in quantities below the maximum prescribed level. By switching to non-toxic food grade lubricants, all precautions have been taken to minimise risk of contamination. This protects the food manufacturer's reputation

  9. PERFORMANCE High-grade designed Food Safe Lubricants have superior performance to conventional mineral oils, resulting in improved protection and lower overall plant maintenance costs. Food Grade Lubricants perform very well under difficult conditions including heat and moisture.

  10. Performance of the Lubricants A Food Grade Lubricant's performance also depends on the additive system. Additives will deliver rust protection, lubricity and adherence properties. The appropriate additives for food grade lubricants are available from the FDA list of substances. E.g. Hydraulic oils require anti-wear agents, while chain oils might contain tackyfiers.

  11. RISK Contamination and security of food chain production is one of the biggest concerns - so how can lubricants make their way into food during the manufacturing process? Contamination can occur at any point through simple human error or equipment failure, an example would be a broken seal.

  12. Some examples of contamination • Oil droplets, which can fling off machinery in fast-moving applications • Gear oils can drip from overhead gearboxes • Over greasing can lead to leakage from conveyors

  13. The use of Quality Systems HACCP HACCP-BASED QUALITY SYSTEMA HACCP (Hazard Analysis Critical Control Point) system, embedded in a program adds strength to food company’s commitment to food safety to its customers and consumers.

  14. HACCP The Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Point (HACCP) system is internationally accepted as the system of choice for food safety management. It is a preventative approach to food safety based on the principles from Identifying any hazards that must be prevented, eliminated or reduced to establish documents and records to demonstrate the effective application of these measures.

  15. NSF The National Sanitation Foundation, (NSF) with guidance from the USDA and the FDA, has control of the food grade lubricant-monitoring program. H1 / HT1: food grade lubricant is defined as one that has been approved for use in food plants and that proves safe in an instance of incidental contact. 3H : food lubricant with direct food contact, like release agents

  16. NSF H1 Approvals Manufacturers must send in the product's formulation and a sample of the product's label. NSF Provide a web based Index of All Companies and Products (WWW.NSF.ORG)

  17. The Choice of Food Grade Lubricant The range of Food Grade lubricants sometimes makes it difficult to know what to choose. Many OEM ( Original Equipment Manufacturers ) provide guidelines for what they consider to be lubricants that have given service without too much inconvenience..

  18. Summary If the machine is the body of the process then the lubricant is the blood. PETRO–CANADA has a full range of Food Grade Lubricants for the majority of applications which we want to show to you now.
