Food grade lubricants
Food-grade lubricants are an essential part of processes involved in the manufacturing, processing, packaging and transport of food. They are suitable for a wide range of applications, from lubricating bearings, gearboxes, chains and conveyors to use in bakery ovens, moulds, proofing cabinets and other production equipment.
Main benefits and functions of food-grade lubricants
-
Effective lubrication – reduce friction between moving parts, extend equipment service life and improve operating efficiency.
-
Corrosion protection – protect metal surfaces against oxidation and corrosion, minimising the risk of contaminants entering food products.
-
Wear protection – reducing wear on mechanical components lowers the risk of food contamination by wear particles.
-
Water and moisture resistance – an ideal solution for wet and demanding production environments.
-
Food safety – lubricants are formulated to be safe in the event of incidental contact with food.
-
Food neutrality – do not affect the taste, smell or other properties of food.
Our food-grade lubricants undergo strict quality control and certification to ensure their suitability for use in the food industry. They meet the requirements of recognised organisations such as NSF International, the FDA (USA) and EFSA (Europe).
Choose high-quality food-grade lubricants for your operations to ensure a safe, reliable and legally compliant production process while maintaining the highest food quality.
Our range of FUCHS CASSIDA food-grade lubricants helps you meet the required food hygiene and safety standards.

Frequently asked questions
What is food-grade grease?
Grease designed for machinery used in food and beverage processing and packaging, such as Cassida GREASE RLS 2 for normal loads or HTS 2 for high temperatures.
What does NSF-H1 mean for a lubricant?
It identifies lubricants registered for incidental contact with food. For example, Rivolta F.L.A. assembly paste is NSF-H1 registered.
Which food-grade lubricant is suitable for high temperatures?
Cassida GREASE HTS 2 grease, and Cassida CHAIN OIL HTE for chains, which is designed for elevated temperatures.
