Product quality and safety are paramount in the food industry. Where lubricants may come into unintentional contact with food, for example through machine lubrication or leakage, only substances that meet strict hygiene and safety standards may be used. FRAGOL food grade lubricants offer this certified safety.
The choice of the right H1 or 3H food grade lubricant depends on the specific requirements of the operation, the type of machinery and the foodstuffs being processed.
Customised needs assessment
FRAGOL analyses which food grade lubricant is best suited to your specific needs according to defined criteria.
- Which lubricants provide the most effective lubrication to ensure smooth operation?
- Which lubricants are able to withstand the various temperature extremes that can occur in food processing plants?
- Food grade lubricants need to be water resistant if frequent cleaning and rinsing processes with water take place.
- Which lubricants offer the best possible rust protection for machine components when moisture and water are present?
- Which lubricants are particularly suitable for use on conveyor belts, gearboxes, ball bearings, hydraulic systems and more?
NSF/2Probity registrations
Independent organisations such as NSF and 2Probity carry out extensive test procedures to confirm that our food grade lubricants meet the applicable safety and hygiene standards. Corresponding certificates represent the most important international classifications for food grade lubricants and are recognised across countries. Companies in the food industry use the NSF and 2Probity certificates as the most important guide when selecting suitable lubricants.
ISO 21469
FRAGOL is certified to ISO 21469. This international standard specifies the requirements for the hygiene and suitability of lubricants for use in food processing operations. The standard specifies requirements for the manufacture, packaging, storage and transport of lubricants to ensure that contamination does not occur.
Kosher and halal certifications
All raw materials used in our food grade lubricants are kosher or halal. This also includes additives and processing aids. Our production facilities work according to kosher and halal standards. This includes the separation of non-kosher/non-halal products, suitable cleaning processes and compliance with certain manufacturing regulations. Our kosher and halal certification bodies are recognised by the respective religious authorities. Regular inspections and audits ensure that FRAGOL complies with the regulations.
FRAGOL will be happy to advise you on all food regulations and determine exactly the right food grade lubricants for your applications and equipment.
