Schaeffler FAG Arcanol FOOD2 Halal and Kosher certified bearing grease

Schaeffler has introduced a rolling bearing grease that is certified for use in both Halal and Kosher food processing environments.

The FAG Arcanol FOOD2 rolling bearing grease is registered to category H1 with the NSF (National Sanitation Foundation). Typical applications for the grease include filling plants, packaging and sealing machines, meat and fish processing machines, freezing systems and other plant and equipment in the food and beverage industries.

The grease maintains its flow properties in cold environments and is suitable for temperatures down to -30°C. Reduced friction is another benefit of the grease, which improves the initial run-in behaviour of the rolling bearings and reduces their power consumption. In FE8 wear protection tests (to DIN 51819), tapered rolling bearings and angular contact ball bearings that were lubricated with the grease achieved significantly better results than the previous version of the lubricant.
