In the food and pharmaceutical industry, lubrication and maintenance of machines and equipment play a crucial role. These lubricants, used during food production and handling, must meet significant challenges such as moisture, temperature extremes, and resistance to detergents and disinfectants.
Food & pharma industry machine maintenance challenges
Lubricants in the food and pharma industry are used for the lubrication and maintenance of machines and plants and for the manufacturing and handling of food. Related industries are
foodstuff commodity, feed, pharmaceutical products and cosmetics.
Suppliers of plants, machines and packaging for these industries also use lubricants and maintenance products. In these above-mentioned sectors an incidental, unavoidable contact of the lubricant and the end product (food) is possible.
By this definition lubricants are process materials and not food or food additives and should be classified accordingly.
Lubricants for these industries have to cope with a lot of challenges like the influence of moisture, extreme temperatures and aggressive media as well as cleaners and disinfectants.
