Safe lubricants for food machinery bearings

In the food processing industry, food machinery bearings require the use of safe lubricants as the lubricants may come into contact with food. Generally speaking, lubricants can be divided into two types, one is mineral oil and the other is synthetic oil. When choosing, preference should be given to synthetic oils.

I. Safe lubricants for food machinery bearings
In the food processing industry, food machinery bearings need to use safe lubricants because the lubricants may come into contact with food. Generally speaking, lubricants can be divided into two types, one is mineral oil and the other is synthetic oil. When choosing, synthetic oils should be preferred.
Synthetic oils have several advantages over mineral oils. Firstly, synthetic oils have better oxidative and thermal stability, and are able to maintain lubrication in extreme environments such as high temperatures and high loads. Secondly, synthetic oils do not contain impurities and therefore have a longer service life. Finally, synthetic oil does not contain phosphorus, sulfur and other harmful components to the environment and human body, more environmentally safe.

Second, the correct lubrication methods and precautions
Using the right lubricant is the most basic protection, but the right lubrication method is also very important. The following are a few lubrication precautions:
1. before installing the bearing, the bearing support, flange, bearing and oil seal and other parts of the cleaning and oiling.
2. Do not exceed the oil level when the oil level in the bearing oil groove reaches 2/3 of the bearing. Excessive oil level will make the friction coefficient decrease, the adhesion force in the bearing process decrease, cause the bearing to loosen, and even will leak oil.
3. Different bearings use different lubrication methods. Common bearing lubrication methods are rolling lubrication, sliding lubrication and infiltration lubrication. In the lubrication process should pay attention to the selection of appropriate lubrication. 4.
4. lubrication should be carried out in strict accordance with the lubrication cycle, do not too much or too little, so as not to cause damage to the machine parts.
5. Replace the lubricant regularly to ensure its lubrication effect and safety.

Third, the conclusion
In the process of food machinery bearing lubrication, suitable lubricants and correct lubrication methods are crucial to production safety and food quality and safety. We hope that the introduced safe lubricants and precautions will be helpful to the majority of food machinery practitioners.
