BECHEM’s Food grade lubricants and greases are specialized lubricants designed to ensure safety and performance in industries such as food processing, beverage production, pharmaceuticals, and cosmetics. These lubricants play a crucial role in minimizing friction, wear, and corrosion of machinery, while ensuring that there is no risk of contamination to products intended for human or animal consumption.
Key Characteristics
Food grade lubricants are formulated with non-toxic and inert ingredients, often meeting stringent safety and quality standards set by regulatory authorities like Food and Drug Administration (FDA), NSF International, and other global organizations. They typically fall under three classifications:
- H1 Lubricants: Used in areas where there is potential incidental contact with food. They are designed to be non-toxic if consumed in small amounts.
- H2 Lubricants: Used in non-food contact areas where there is no possibility of food contamination.
- H3 Lubricants: Soluble oils applied to hooks, trolleys, and similar equipment to prevent rust and corrosion.

Applications
Food grade lubricants are used across various machinery and components, including bearings, gears, chains, and conveyors. They ensure smooth operation in challenging environments, such as high temperatures, water exposure, and high-pressure processing systems, without compromising food safety. For example, food processors may use food-grade greases to lubricate mixers, blenders, or slicers that operate in direct proximity to food products.
Advantages
- Safety: By minimizing contamination risks, they protect public health.
- Compliance: Using these lubricants helps businesses adhere to hygiene and food safety regulations.
- Efficiency: They enhance machinery performance and reduce downtime, ensuring seamless operations in critical industries.
- Durability: High resistance to heat, water, and chemicals ensures that machinery components are well-maintained.
Trends and Innovations
The development of synthetic food grade lubricants has expanded possibilities in the industry. These synthetic variants offer superior performance in extreme conditions, longer lubrication intervals, and enhanced environmental compatibility. Another growing trend is the use of environmentally friendly and biodegradable food-grade options, which address sustainability concerns while maintaining safety standards.
BECHEM’s food grade lubricants and greases are indispensable in industries where safety and performance go hand in hand. By ensuring machinery runs smoothly and hygienically, they contribute significantly to product quality, operational efficiency, and public trust.
