Food Safe Lubricant Sprays & Aerosols for Your Business
When your business works in the food industry, hygiene, cleanliness, and safety are not just priorities; they are absolute necessities. At the same time, it is essential that your equipment operates as smoothly and efficiently as possible. And, we might be biased, but the unsung hero for ensuring everything runs seamlessly is Food Safe Lubricant Spray, also known as Food Safe Aerosols.
As industry-leading specialists providing Food Safe Lubricants to businesses across the UK, we understand firsthand how indispensable these products can be. Countless companies rely on them to ensure that even the simplest of tasks are executed with precision and reliability. Don’t underestimate the impact of using high-quality food-safe lubricant sprays – your operations deserve nothing less for optimal performance.
What Is Food Safe Lubricant Spray?
Food Safe Lubricant Spray is ideal for use in food processing environments, such as food factories, bakeries, dairy facilities, or meat packing plants. Whilst these sprays aren’t intended to directly come into contact with your food, in the event of accidental cross-contamination, they are safe and non-toxic, and will not impact the taste or smell of your food.
They are suitable for a wide range of applications, including lubricating machinery in food processing plants, protecting your equipment from corrosion, and ensuring the smooth operation of your food processing equipment. Not only will these sprays maintain the performance of your machinery, but they will increase the lifespan, all while ensuring food safety and hygiene.
What Should You Look Out for When Purchasing Food Safe Lubricant Sprays?
When purchasing Food Safe Lubricant Spray, especially online, there are certain things you’ll want to look out for to double-check that it is completely food safe, depending on your lubrication requirements. You will want to make sure that they are National Sanitation Foundation (NSF) H1 or H2 registered. This means that they have been certified and registered for use in the food industry, helping you comply with food safety requirements and pass food safety audits.
“H1” means that the lubricant is considered food-grade, meaning it is formulated with ingredients that are safe for use with incidental food contact. On the other hand, “H2” registration means that the lubricant is suitable for use in food processing areas, but there must be no risk or possibility of food contact.
Which Spray Do You Need for Your Food Processing Business?
With so many Food Safe Lubricant Sprays available on the market, it’s understandable to potentially feel overwhelmed about which products are right for your business applications. At Lubricants SW, we have an extensive range for you to choose from. So, we better get started with a few of your options!
Ambersil Food Safe Lubricant Spray for the Utmost Safety
Ambersil colour codes their Food Safe Aerosols, with Green (H1) being the safest for use in all areas, Amber (H2) being safe for use with caution, and Red being safe, but only under controlled measures. While the Ambersil products mentioned below are NSF H1-registered, providing you with the safest option for your applications, we also offer NSF H2-registered alternatives.
Food Grade Penetrating Oil
Safe for use on all metals, the Ambersil Penetrating Oil is appropriate for application in the food and beverage industry on fasteners affected by heat, corrosion, over-tightening, and contamination. Simply spray the lubricant, let it penetrate, and then remove the seized fasteners without damaging the head.
Food Grade Silicone Lubricant
Ideal for eliminating sticking, squeaking, and binding, the Ambersil Silicone Food Safe Lubricant Spray is suitable for use on high-speed bagging lines and chutes/slides. This is particularly useful where reduced friction is necessary on plastic-to-plastic components. It can be applied to guide rails in finished product lines or used as an anti-stick treatment for guide rails and labelling equipment, significantly reducing label and adhesive build-up.
Food Grade Machine Oil
This Food Safe General Purpose Machine Oil can be used as an anti-corrosion coating for metal-to-metal parts in high humidity conditions. It functions by creating a highly effective lubricating and anti-friction film.
Food Grade PTFE Chain Lubricant
Suitable for all types of chains and chain-driven drive systems, this Food Grade PTFE Chain Lubricant Spray leaves a long-lasting lubricating and anti-corrosion film. The PTFE enhances its longevity, whilst the gentle foaming action helps it cling to chains and penetrate deeply into the links.
Food Grade Dry PTFE Lubricant
Offering a dry film that remains unaffected by oils and solvents, the Food Safe Dry PTFE Lubricant Spray is compatible with most materials and is ideal for lubricating moving parts where oily or silicone lubricants are not suitable.
Food Grade Assembly Paste
This Food Safe Assembly Paste prevents the seizure of threaded components, allowing for quick and easy dismantling. It can be used in the same way as traditional Copper Anti-Seize on fasteners or as a running-in compound for bearings.
Food Grade Belt Dressing
This Food Safe Adhesive Belt Lubricant Spray is compatible with all types of belts, including Vee, flat, toothed, rubber, leather, and fabric, protecting them from deterioration caused by oxidation and heat. By improving grip on belts, the tacky lubricating film also enhances the pulling power while reducing squeaking and extending the service life of the belts.
Food Grade Food Grease
Ideal for use on plain bearings, hinges, and moving parts, this Multi-Purpose Food Safe Spray Grease boasts excellent moisture resistance and very low water washout. The spray nozzle makes it especially useful for areas with limited access where regular grease penetration can be challenging.
