Food Safe Oils, Lubricants & Greases
Food grade lubricants, oils and greases for food processing and food manufacturing industries.
Gannon Oils Ltd. is a specialist manufacturer, distributor and supplier of foodsafe and food grade oil, lubricant and grease for machinery involved in the production of food and food-related items.
Gannon Oils provides a range of in-house manufactured & blended specialist food safe oils, lubricants and greases as well as Branded Food Grade oils, lubricants and greases meeting and exceeding NSF H1 requirements.
Products designed for use in food and beverage production must be able to do all the things that a conventional industrial lubricant does - such as reduce friction and wear, protect against corrosion, dissipate heat and have a sealing effect - but also must comply with food regulations and be physiologically inert, tasteless, odourless and approved by various international standards.
Products for this industry are often referred to as food grade, but it is important to note that only H1 lubricants are truly "food grade" or "foodsafe". Lubricants for the food and beverage industry are reviewed by NSF International (NSF), an independent registration body, and are registered as either H1 or H2.
H1 lubricants are suitable for incidental, technically unavoidable contact with a food product. These lubricants may be safely used for handling, canning, bottling, blending, chilling, cooking. slicing and peeling, on machinery components such as pumps, mixers, gearboxes, chain drives and conveyor belts. H1 lubricants may also be used above the food line.
NSF H2 lubricants are suitable for use in the food industry providing that contact with the food product is absolutely impossible. The products are sometimes referred to as food-plant or food-machinery lubricants and may be used below the food line. The distinction between H1 and H2 is especially critical when dealing with issues of contamination and potential product recalls.
Advances in formulations now allow H1 lubricants to deliver the same or better performance than conventional industrial oils.
These high performance lubricants ensure that when used in food processing equipment, they are safe and harmless if consumed accidentally. This range includes Food safe Compressor Oils, Foodsafe Hydraulic Oils, Foodsafe Airline Oils, Foodsafe Gear Oils, Foodsafe Conveyor Chain Oils and Foodsafe Grease.
