What’s a Food Grade Lubricant • Food grade lubricants are formulated for use in applications where there is the possibility of incidental food contact (above the line) • Registration for food grade fluids was previously handled by the USDA, now handled by NSF
What’s a Food Grade Lubricant • NSF has created the following food safety classifications • H-1:
• Applications where there is the possibility of incidental food contact
• H-2
• Lubricants for use in food processing plants. Without the possibility of food contact
• H-3
• Edible lubricants
• HT-1
• Food grade heat transfer fluids
Food Grade Lubricant Market • Food grade lubricants are used in only 40% of food processing applications • Currently on dairy and meat processing facilities • Market expected to grow as new govermantal regulations are put into place • Food grade market expected to grow from $182 million (2016) to $265 million in 2025
Issues with Food Grade Lubricants • Food processing facilities have resisted the use of food grade lubricants because of perceived performance issues and higher costs • Miles FG has overcome these issues by developing a line of cost competitive lubricants with performance levels that are comparable to non food grade fluids
Miles Food Grade Fluids • Miles Food Grade lubricants utilize the latest NSF approved additives and base fluids to provide the highest possible level of performance
Miles Food Grade Fluids • Miles Food Grade Lubricants are listed in NSF “White Book” • http://info.nsf.org/usda/psnclistings.asp

Air Compressor Fluids • Important considerations when selecting an air compressor fluid
• Desired fluid life • What is the existing fluid in the system • What are the desired operating conditions (will the system be in continuous use, what is the discharge temperature) • What is the operating environment like • Is compressor prone to carbon and varnish buildup

Refrigeration Fluids • Important considerations when selecting a Refrigeration Lubricant
• Refrigerant type • Lubricant and refrigerant need to be soluble • Discharge pressure and temperature • Effects viscosity dilution • Evaporator temperature • Lubricant needs to be fluid enough at low temperatures to return to the compressor
Refrigeration Fluids • Refrigerant type, discharge pressure and temperature play a critical role in product selection
