Food-Grade Greases and Applications

Authored by: Allan Zieser, STLE, CLS

Food-Grade grease applications offer a different set of issues that a grease must be able to handle. From high temperatures to low temperatures, with or without water washout. Today’s food-grade greases are much more advanced than yesterday’s food-grade greases. As such, this new generation of greases is designed to provide the ultimate protection to your equipment while maintaining approvals from NSF, Kosher, & Halal. Ottsen Oil carries the complete line of Summit Industrial food-grade greases for use in your day to day operations and special needs areas.
