Food Safety
02 November 2023
Naturally, special lubricants are developed for the food industry. Your food has a long way to go before it reaches your plate. It is harvested, sorted, washed, cut, packed or otherwise processed for your daily convenience. The lubricants used in these processes in most cases do not come into contact with your food. In the unlikely event this happens this contact, the so-called incidental contact, should not cause health issues. Therefore these products should comply with a large set of requirements. On the one hand the products should provide the normal protection/working such as protection against wear, friction and oxidation etc. etc. On the other hand in addition to the standard lubricant requirements the lubricants should also be ‘food-safe’. Food-safe implies that in case a product comes into contact with the end product, food, it will not cause health threats.
Safe and healthy food is a priority for every manufacturer. This industry must therefore use the best and safest lubricants available. All products used must comply with food, health and safety regulations and must be internationally approved. AIMOL supplies lubricants that meet all these requirements and thus contribute to your health.
