In the food and pharmaceutical industries, machinery used requires specialized food-safe lubricants. These lubricants must contain non-toxic, food-grade, NSF(FDA, former USDA)-approved ingredients, and comply with regulations on non-food compounds used in food manufacturing facilities.
Our TRIBOFOOD series of oils and greases are NSF-H1 registered for use in food processing environments, widely employed in bakeries, food processing plants, food packaging, and food handling applications.
We also offer food-grade oils, greases, and sprays, registered as NSF-3H, suitable for use as release or separation agents in direct food contact. Our food-grade lubricants are free from nuts and allergens.
For extremely high-temperature ovens, including applications in chain bakeries where temperatures can exceed 300°C, our TRIBOFOOD High-Temperature Synthetic Chain Oil is essential. Conveyors, chains, high-temperature bearings, slides, and components require our specialized lubricants and high-temperature greases.
In cryogenic environments such as spiral freezers, refrigerators, and other very low-temperature settings, we offer specially formulated TRIBOFOOD oils and greases rated for temperatures as low as -80°C. Regular aggressive cleaning procedures may “wash away” or diminish some lubricants. We have specific oils and greases designed to protect against water, steam, degreasers, and cleaning chemicals, reducing the need for frequent re-lubrication.
IKV TRIBOFOOD lubricants are used in the manufacturing of pharmaceutical products, and pharmaceutical packaging is approved for use in both food and medical contexts.
