FOOD GRADE LUBRICANTS
Guidance for selecting petroleum-based and synthetic-
based food grade lubricants are shown below in Table 9.
For general lubrication guidelines, refer to the first part of
the “Lubrication Recommendation” section.
FOOD GRADE LUBRICANT SELECTION
PROCESS
1. Refer to Table 10 and 11 for proper lubricant viscosity
grade based on ambient temperature range.
2. Refer to Table 9 for summary of lubricant type.
3. Using proper lubricant table and viscosity grade, select
desired lubricant manufacturer and name.
4. Refer to Table 3 for approximate oil capacity to
purchase.
FOOD GRADE LUBRICANTS (TABLES 12, 13 & 14)
—
Food grade lubricants are a class of lubricants registered
as H1 by NSF (National Sanitation Foundation). They
contain base stock and additives which comply with Food
and Drug Administration Title 21 CFR 178.3570 regulations
for lubricants with incidental food contact. Base stock can
be petroleum oil or different types of synthetic lubricant.
Food grade lubricants are not the same as biodegradable
or environmentally friendly lubricants.
Rust and corrosion inhibitors used to protect gear drive
during shipment are not qualified as food grade fluids.
Flush out inhibitor oil before filling with food grade
lubricant.
Tables 12, 13 & 14 list food grade lubricants that have
performance properties meeting Rexnord specifications.
They are not exclusive recommendations but serve as a
guide for making proper lubricant selections.
CLIMATE CONDITIONS
—
Ambient temperature in
immediate vicinity of gear drive is very important for
determining viscosity grade. Table 10 provides viscosity
grade selections for petroleum-based lubricants. See
Table 11 for synthetic lubricants.
LUBRICANT CHANGES
OIL ANALYSIS REPORT (FOOD GRADE)
— Checking oil
conditions at regular intervals is recommended. Sample
oil for analysis approximately every 1,000 hours for
petroleum food grade lubricants or every 3,000 hours for
synthetic food grade lubricants. In the absence of more
specific limits, the guidelines listed below may be used to
indicate when to change petroleum or polyalphaolefin type
synthetic food grade lubricants:
1. Water content is greater than 500 ppm (parts per
million) (0.05%).
2. Iron content exceeds 150 ppm.
3. Silicon (dust/dirt) exceeds 25 ppm, above reference
sample from new oil container.
4. Copper content exceeds 75 ppm.
5. TAN (Total Acid Number) 50% increase above reference
sample from new oil container.
6. Viscosity changes more than ±15%.
7. Solid particle contamination code exceeds 25/22/18 for
particle sizes
≥
4/
≥
6/
≥
14 microns, respectively per ISO
4406.
Laboratory analysis is recommended for optimum lubricant
life and gear drive performance. Oil samples should be
taken from the oil level hole, not the drain hole.
PETROLEUM LUBRICANTS (FOOD GRADE)
— In the
absence of oil analysis, change gear oils every 6 months
or 2,500 operating hours, whichever occurs first. Change
oil more frequently when gear drives operate in extremely
humid, chemical, or dust laden atmospheres. In these
cases, lubricants should be changed every 3 to 4 months
or 1,500 to 2,000 hours. If the drive is operated in an area
where temperatures vary with the seasons, change the oil
viscosity grade to suit the temperature, refer to Table 10.
Lubricant suppliers can test oil from the drive periodically
and recommend economical change schedules.
SYNTHETIC LUBRICANTS (FOOD GRADE)
— In
the absence of oil analysis, synthetic lube change
intervals can be extended to 8,000 hours depending
upon operating temperatures. Laboratory analysis is
recommended for optimum lubricant life and drive
performance. Change lube with change in ambient
temperature, if required. Refer to Table 11.
GREASE PURGED SEALS
Whenever changing oil in the drive, purge the seals with
one of the NLGI #2 grade greases listed in Table 14.
Depending upon the degree of contamination, periodically
(at least every six months), purge the seals with one
of the NLGI #2 grade greases listed in Table 14. Purge
contaminated grease from seals by slowly pumping fresh
bearing grease through the seal,
WITH HAND GREASE
GUN
, until fresh grease flows out along the shaft. Wipe off
purged grease.
CAUTION
: Rapid regreasing with a power grease gun can
force grease inward past the seals and plug the oil drain
back system causing seal leaks.
