## Summary

Lubrication in food and pharmaceutical processing requires attention to equipment performance, contamination risks, and traceability. Appropriate lubricant selection and accurate documentation support effective maintenance and audit readiness.

## Content

Bearings, conveyor chains, compressors, and hydraulic systems in food-processing facilities all require reliable lubrication. However, production environments impose additional selection requirements. Alongside load capacity, water resistance, and temperature performance, facilities should assess potential lubricant contact with food and incorporate lubrication into hygiene and maintenance procedures.

When selecting a food-grade lubricant, users should verify the registration category, technical data sheet, and safety data sheet for the specific product and application. The term “food grade” alone does not establish suitability for every use.

Audit readiness also depends on purchasing records, product identification, storage practices, lubrication-point lists, relubrication records, and procedures for handling abnormalities. Lubricants intended for different applications should be clearly identified to reduce misuse and cross-contamination risks. Cleaning practices, lubrication-tool control, and employee training should also form part of routine management.

A structured lubrication programme links selection, purchasing, application, and documentation. Regularly reviewing product registrations and technical information, together with operating conditions and equipment performance, helps facilities manage contamination risks, maintain reliability, and support internal and external audits.

## Enquiries and technical support

Send the operating conditions — temperature, speed, load, and whether there is food or pharmaceutical contact. An engineer replies with a selection proposal and a written quotation within one business day.
