Components such as line lubricators, slide and roller bearings, chains, compressors, vacuum pumps, gearing, heat transfer systems, hydraulics and pumps are commonplace in food production plants. Many of these are found in close proximity to the foodstuffs, often with a high potential for any leaking lubricants to make incidental food contact.
Fuchs has developed the CASSIDA range of food-grade lubricants. The lubricants, which include gear oils, hydraulic oils, lubricating greases and maintenance aerosols, are designed for use on machinery where incidental contact between food substance and lubricant may occur.
The company can also assist with Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Points (HACCP) surveys, making it possible to identify lubrication points where there is a risk of contamination, leaving manufacturers with action points on how to minimise the risks and advice on the correct lubricant to use.
