Food industry - Speciality lubricants for the beverage industry

Product catalog summary
Introduction
This document outlines the use of speciality lubricants in the beverage industry, focusing on consumer protection, reliable manufacturing, and energy efficiency. It highlights Klüber's synthetic high-performance lubricants, which are NSF H1 registered, for their ability to reduce friction, lower operating temperatures, and extend component service life.
NSF H1 Lubricants
NSF H1 lubricants are recommended for use throughout the production line to prevent misuse and simplify lubrication management. These lubricants are designed for incidental food contact and are ISO 21469 certified, ensuring hygiene standards.
Conveyor Systems
Specific lubricants are recommended for conveyor system components like palletisers, drives, and chains. Products such as Klüberoil 4 UH1 1500 N Spray and Klübersynth UH1 14-222 offer wear protection and water resistance.
Enclosed Gears
High-performance gear oils, including the Klüberoil 4 UH1 and Klübersynth UH1 series, are available in various viscosities, providing wear protection and load capacity. They comply with CLP requirements and offer stability against ageing and oxidation.
Filling, Capping, and Labelling Machines
Lubricants like PARALIQ P40 Spray and Klüberfood NH1 6-10 are used for components such as lifting rods and open drive gears, offering wear and corrosion protection and reducing sugar adhesion.
Seals
Lubricants for seals and filling taps, such as PARALIQ GTE 703 and Klüberfood NH1 87-703 Hyg, are designed for EPDM seals and contain antimicrobial additives, extending maintenance intervals.
Conclusion
Klüber's speciality lubricants ensure compliance with food safety standards and improve manufacturing processes, reduce costs, and enhance machine performance.
Overview
This document guides the selection of specialized lubricants from Klüber's range, detailing specifications, applications, and benefits for various industrial uses.
Specifications
The document lists lubricants with specific base oils, thickeners, and temperature ranges, such as Klübersynth UH1 14-151, suitable for temperatures from -45°C to 120°C, offering water resistance and corrosion protection.
Application Procedures
Each lubricant is linked to specific machine components, emphasizing the importance of selecting the right lubricant and checking compatibility with elastomers and plastics.
Standards and Certifications
Many lubricants are ISO 21469 certified, meeting hygiene requirements for incidental food contact.
Recommendations
The document advises consulting Klüber experts for tailored solutions and conducting preliminary field tests for compatibility and performance. It suggests using the KlüberMonitor analysis scheme for optimal oil use duration.
