Machinery used in the food and pharmaceutical industries require the use of specialist lubricants. They must be non-toxic and satisfy the regulations for non-food compounds used in food manufacturing plants. Our TRIBOFOOD range is NSF-H1 registered for use in food processing environments, safe for incidental food contact and is widely used in bakeries, food processing factories, food preparation and packing areas.
We also have oils and greases that are NSF-3H registered, for use as release or parting agents with potential direct food contact.
Extreme high or low temperatures or aggressive cleaning processes are often encountered in the food industry, all of which can adversely affect the life of the lubricant. In bakery applications for example, the ovens can reach above 300°C. Conveying components, chains, bearings and other components operating in these conditions require specialist lubricants.
IKV TRIBOFOOD offer a full range of specially formulated Food Grade Sprays, Oils, and Greases, ideally suited for conveyor systems and most types of chain, including gear couplings, bearings, and journals in the paper, textile, and steel industries.
Our TRIBOFOOD products offer a number of properties designed to help prevent chain seizure, enlargement of chains and to extend the overall life of the chain. IKV TRIBOFOOD product range displays a number of properties including:
– Heat resistance (remaining stable from temperatures of -40°C up to 650°C)
– Water resistance
– Excellent adhesion and extended durability
– Low rate of evaporation
– Anti-foaming
