Machinery lubrication in the food & beverage industry requires not only high performance but also adherence to strict sanitation standards to avoid contamination and ensure food safety.
The importance of food machine lubricant in the food and beverage industry
A good lubricant for food machinery is essential to ensure performance, safety and reduced downtime, especially in a sector like food and beverage, where downtime must be kept to a minimum and attention to sanitary aspects maximized.
Production lines for soft drinks, beer, water and juices operate in humid environments subject to frequent washdowns. In this context, NSF H1-certified food lubricants, suitable for incidental food contact-are a guarantee of safety.
Quality food-grade lubricating oils and greases ensure:
- protection from corrosion and wear even in high-humidity environments,
- thermal stability and resistance to runoff,
- compatibility with materials in bottling and packaging machinery.
Certified safety for every lubrication need in the food & beverage industry
In the food and beverage sector, ensuring safety and production efficiency is essential. The Setral lubricants offered by MD Poland are formulated to meet the highest standards of quality, safety, and hygiene, with certifications recognized internationally.
The main classifications according to NSF International standards include:
- H1, for incidental contact with food,
- H2, for applications without food contact,
- 3H, for use as release agents,
- HT1, for thermal fluids suitable for incidental contact.
In addition, these products are developed and manufactured in compliance with ISO 9001, ISO 14001, and ISO 21469, and hold additional certifications such as Kosher, Pareve, and Halal, demonstrating a strong commitment to quality, traceability, and hygiene compliance.
A food-grade lubricant for every stage of beverage production
The beverage production process includes:
- bottle molding and blowing,
- treatment of concentrates, sweeteners, and water,syrup mixing and carbonation,
- depalletizing and rinsing,
- filling, capping, and seaming,
- high pressure processing (HPP),
- labeling and packaging,
- carton filling,
- stacking and palletizing,
- sanitation, refrigeration, and transportation.
For each of these stages, Setral offers certified food-grade lubricants that ensure reliability even in the most critical parts of the production process.
