Food grade lubricants introduced
With the rise of consumer awareness, public health and safety requirements for food even more attention in recent years, the melamine milk scandal broke out, the black heart event as well as from the cloud agent clenbuterol problem, have caused public concern. If you have the impression, then says Twu lawmakers held a press conference, pointed out that domestic manufacturers of food processing machinery, and many are using industrial lubricants, resulting in food being contaminated. Indeed, food plants for the food industry itself is often raw, pay more attention to the environment, even the people have to pay more for this request, but ignored the hazards lubricants used in food processing equipment may inadvertently cause!
Food processing equipment because of possible lubricants inevitably be in contact with food, only the use of food-grade lubricants, lubricants after contact with food in order to avoid such health effects of substances on the stomach to eat.
That in the end what is food grade lubricants it?
What is a food-grade lubricants
The United States was the first country to use on food machinery lubricants formulated standard, the standard is the lubricant that allows the degree of contact with food, is not the definition of the characteristics or performance lubricants industry standards. In September 1999 ago by the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) Food Safety and Inspection Service under the jurisdiction of (FSIS) lubricants used in food plants in the United States for the development of the H1, H2 and H3 and other levels, and widely world's major lubrication oil manufacturers and food plants are in use, FSIS has become an important and Certification Center, after the United States national Health basic will (NSF) continuation of the USDA / FSIS standards and certification of food grade lubricants, has been recognized as the world's food-grade lubrication oil certification authority.
NSF grading standards for food-grade lubricants are as follows:
H1 - for technically can not be completely avoided, occasional contact with food lubricants;
H2 - can not have any contact with the food;
H3 - soluble oil equipment bound for contact with food, parts of the rust.
Appropriate food-grade lubricants recognized standards for food contact lubricants with the United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is formulated regulations FDA 21.CFR 178.3570, explicitly list all substances can be used for H1 lubricants, and provisions in food content of not> 10ppm.
In addition to the United States, there are many countries or international organizations are also prescribed norms or standards:
Germany, according to USDA / FSIS certification system, developed industry standard DIN V0010517,2000-08 Food-Grade Lubricants-Definitions and Requirements
China has set a national standard GB 4853-94 (food grade white oil), GB12494-00 (food machinery for oil), GB 15179-94 (Food Machinery Grease), GB 23820 (lubricants with incidental product contact Health requirements), as relevant norms food machinery lubricants.
NLGI (International Society of grease) -ELGI (European Society of grease) -EHEDG (European Hygienic Engineering Organization) is developed FGL 1/2000 / Issue 1 as a standard.
As well as the Canadian Food Inspection Agency (CFIA), the Australian Quarantine Inspection Agency (AQIS) and other relevant state institutions, but also for food machinery lubricants developed a certification or licensing. However, in most countries of the world, still FDA / NSF prescribed norms and standards of the most known and accepted, it is FDA 21.CFR 178.3570 substance deployment into oil specification, the NSF H1 certified it was recognized as a food-grade lubricants.
Food plant use of food-grade lubricants encounter
Lubricating base oil plus additives is made, food factory machinery and general machinery in the factory lubricant selection, should be considered as temperature, load, speed of operation, operating environment, materials and components lubrication requirements and other factors, but more restrictions FDA / NSF standard, making the higher cost of food grade lubricants, and therefore food factory in equipment lubrication produced the following issues:
1. To reduce costs, food plants would consider the industry standard machinery lubrication requirements are ignored in considering only subject to the level of food grade lubricants, the choice does not meet industry standards without adding oil or mineral white oil, making machinery and equipment unable to get proper lubrication effectiveness, repair damage occurs frequently, but adds more maintenance and material costs, even more than planned maintenance downtime resulting in more loss of production;
2. due to the production, preservation and other needs, a number of food plant equipment often have to face the high temperature, low temperature, or heavy water vapor environment, typically the lubricating oil in such an environment, the life of lubrication or lubricant are greatly reduced, the impact of production efficiency.
Food processing machinery using certified by NSF H1 food grade lubricants is a basic requirement, and lubrication of machinery and equipment should be used in line with industry standards (eg, DIN 51524 HLP hydraulic oils certification / DIN 51517 CLP gear oil circulation certification / DIN 51506 Air machine oil certification) of oil, make sure to get the most basic equipment lubrication protection, but also to consider the impact of the operating environment, the choice of high-performance lubricating oil to ensure effective long-term effects can occur, reducing the damage repair costs, thereby to maintain and improve production efficiency.
Types of food grade lubricants
Food-grade lubricants and lubricating the same general, is the deployment of base oil and additives, base oil or additives used shall be of just Subject FDA 21.CFR 178.3570 or for the safety of substances generally recognized, and lubricants the vast majority of properties depending on the nature of the base oil. Base oils can be used in food grade lubricants common are the following:
Mineral white oil -
Compliance with FDA 21.CFR 178.3620 (a) the definition of white oil, can be used for the production of food-grade lubricants in line with NSF H1 level, because part of mineral oil, compared to the other categories of food grade lubricants made from synthetic base oils to the low prices, but because of the high temperatures often encountered in food processing plants, cold or moisture environment, but also as general mineral oils as easily oxidized at high temperature metamorphism lose lubrication characteristics, low temperature fluidity easy to make poor lack of lubrication, contamination of water and gas will cause the emulsion lubricant deterioration, so much restrictions on the application.
Silicone oil -
The meet FDA / NSF regulations silicone oil as a lubricating base oil, mineral oils and better than the high temperature characteristics, and thus can be applied to a wider range, but because of the relationship between the individual characteristics of silicone oil, the surface tension is much less than the other types of lubricants, metal surface will quickly open up and makes thin film formation, so extreme pressure and anti-wear well, and because the application is less than other base oil, so the price is relatively expensive.
Polyether -
By FDA / NSF regulations approved food grade lubricants made of polyether, because the polyether has polarity, in a variety of lubrication, adhesion can be strong, large carrying capacity lubricant film formation, while compared to other classes better lubrication base oil, coupled with excellent viscosity-temperature characteristics, whether for use in food plants, have a wide range of applications.
Poly-α-olefin (PAO) -
Poly-α-olefins due to a wide range of applications, the only case of five categories fourth class of synthetic base oil base oil, its excellent characteristics have been far better than adding a lot of additives, mineral oil, PAO base oils made from compliance with FDA / NSF standardized food grade lubricants, can provide better lubrication food plant equipment protection, thereby reducing maintenance costs, increase production efficiency.
Further specifications for food lubricants and requirements
Kosher (Jewish kosher) and Halal (Islam kosher) -
In addition to services based on the needs of different faith groups, Kosher and Halal and Kosher certified strict integrity, represents the absolute food hygiene and safety in the process, but also makes Kosher or Halal Certified Kosher food has become clean without fear of guarantee, so many people do not belong to the world's Jewish or Islamic faith, will give priority by Kosher or Halal certified kosher food; Kosher or Halal Kosher certified more than regulate the ingredients themselves, but also for people handling ingredients and devices has strict requirements, food processing machinery equipment handling both belong ingredients, if used oil products in line with Kosher or Halal certification, in addition to compliance with the requirements on Judaism or Islam, but also for food processing equipment when handling food and more guarantee a clean and hygienic food.
ISO 21469 -
Lubricants supplier to provide written information for NSF ingredients through the audit, you can get NSF H1 certification, but really every barrel of lubricants for use in food plants, in the production process will be contaminated with other substances, and meets NSF H1 requirements, you can not provide assurance as to deal with such problems, NSF proposed ISO 21469 industry standard. ISO 21469 certification standards defined as "designated production line designated product", and the production line to conduct a thorough assessment of the health and safety of dust, metal particles and other contaminants risk, and product deterioration occurs long-term storage or other biological contamination risk assessment, this standard specifies the self-product design, testing, production and packaging and storage transport, so more can ensure that each barrel of food grade lubricants food factory indeed its name.
Conclusion
Production plant commonly used equipment such as hydraulic circulation system, gear system or air compressor and other equipment used in food processing plants, the corresponding need to hydraulic cycle oil, gear oil, grease and compressor oil, in food hygiene safety requirements, in line with food grade lubricants specification is a basic requirement; under lubrication equipment, effective protection requirements, in line with standard industrial lubricants requirements can not be ignored; further improve the effectiveness of the lubricant protection, the use of synthetic grade oil not only increases the reliability of equipment, can also achieve carbon reduction of environmental trends!
In recent news, or come into contact with some of the food factory, sometimes hear the production of products sold in Europe and America the use of food-grade lubricants equipment, production and sale of food in Taiwan local device uses general industrial lubricants, often hear the people can not help but sigh overall message, melamine and plasticizer storm do not let us remember the lesson? Taiwan needs more people like King Car Food and Mei Foods and other so conscientious, play enterprises, as we produce not only delicious, but also is a reliable, safe to eat the food!
Please do not take my car oil is added to milk!
