At high temperatures, common food-grade chain oils can evaporate and break down, leaving behind high levels of residue and/or requiring constant relubrication. A common alternative is to use a chain lubricant containing suspended industrial solids that will provide emergency lubrication even when the carrying fluid evaporates. Although these formulations can provide high-temperature lubrication, it is often accomplished at the sacrifice of the lubricant no longer being registered by the National Sanitation Foundation (NSF) as food-grade H1. New Klüberfood NH1 CH 6-120 SUPREME provides optimum protection of chains at extreme temperatures. The formulation utilizes a solid white lubricant and is NSF H1 registered for incidental contact, providing a long-lasting solution to the challenge of using food-grade lubricants at extreme temperatures.
- Bakery ovens used in the production of tortillas, pita bread, pizza dough and other baked goods can expose conveyor chains to extreme temperatures upward of 1000°F (537°C), which can significantly challenge typical food-grade lubricants.
- Klüberfood NH1 CH 6-120 SUPREME is a major development for bakeries looking to provide optimum protection for chains at extreme temperatures, while continuing on the path toward food safety.
