Safe food is not negotiable. Throughout food processing plants, food can potentially come in contact with lubricants at several points; from the processing machines to the conveyor belts, from forklifts all the way through the trucking phase. All lubricants used in food plants must strictly adhere to food safety standards.
Partnering with Leahy-Wolf is Petro-Canada Lubricants, the world’s largest manufacturer of food grade white oils. Petro-Canada brings a unique understanding of this highly demanding industry and the specialized products needed to do the job.
PURITY FG GREASES
PURITY FG greases resist water washout, water jet spray, and most sterilizing chemicals used in cleaning better than many competitive food-grade greases. This reduces the downtime needed for re-greasing.
NEVASTANE CHAIN OIL XT
NEVASTANE CHAIN OIL XT is a high performance chain oil specially designed for the lubrication of any control, drive and transport chains subject to high temperatures and loads in the food industries: bakeries, slaughterhouses, beverage industries, etc.
PURITY FG AW HYDRAULIC FLUIDS
PURITY FG-X AW Hydraulic Fluid 46 is formulated with SynFX™, an advanced additive technology designed to deliver synthetic-like performance and enhanced protection. PURITY™ FG AW Hydraulic Fluids are advanced food-grade lubricants specially formulated to deliver exceptional, long-lasting protection in hydraulic systems used in food processing and pharmaceutical operations. They provide excellent performance in high-pressure systems including applications operating at more than 1000 psi (7000 kPa). They may also be used to lubricate anti-friction bearings in general circulating systems, and in inline (airline) oilers in pneumatic systems commonly found in food packaging applications.
The PURITY FG AW Hydraulic Fluid line carries NSF H1
PURITY FG TROLLY FLUID
Petro-Canada’s PURITY FG Trolley Fluid is a food grade fluid used to lubricate hook and trolley systems in meat processing operations. PURITY FG Trolley Fluid is formulated to deliver tough protection and long service life. PURITY FG Trolley Fluid’s performance results from more than 30 years formulating experience. Using the HT Purity Process, PetroCanada produces 99.9% crystal-clear base oils – among the purest in the world. Virtually free of impurities that can hinder fluid performance, these crystal clear base oils are fortified with a tenacious tackifier and specially selected anti-oxidant, anti-wear, anticorrosion and lubricity additives. The result is a food grade trolley fluid that protects against wear, rust and drips in the toughest meat processing conditions.
PURITY FG SYNTHETIC GEAR FLUID
Petro-Canada’s PURITY™ FG SYNTHETIC EP Gear Fluids are advanced food grade fluids specially formulated for gear systems operating in the toughest food processing applications. The advanced chemistry provides longer fluid life and better protection against wear, over a wide range of operating temperatures. PURITY FG SYNTHETIC EP Gear Fluids also meet safety standards that are among the highest in the food industry and fit perfectly in HACCP (Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Point) and GMP (Good Manufacturing Practice) plans.
PURITY FG SEAMER FLUID
PURITY FG Seamer-E fluid is a mineral oil based, water emulsifying fluid that is formulated for use in high-speed continuous lubrication seaming units where contamination of the oil with water, food juices and sugar may occur. It is designed to lubricate the main turrets, bearings, chains and gears for smooth and effective equipment performance.
PURITY FG Seamer-E fluid meets the highest food industry safety standards and fits perfectly in HACCP (Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Point) and GMP (Good Manufacturing Practice) plans. All components comply with FDA regulation 21 CFR 178.3570 “Lubricants with incidental food contact”.
PURITY FG Seamer-E fluid is recognized by PneumaticScaleAngelus®, one of the world’s largest manufacturers of can seamer machines. Based on successful equipment trials, PneumaticScaleAngelus has no objection to the use of Purity FG Seamer-E Fluid in seamers of the series: 61/62H, 80/81L, 100/101L, 120/121L, 140S, 180S and 12M. Specific application and working environment should be evaluated by technical personnel.
PURITY FG AEROSOL SPRAY LUBRICANTS
PURITY FG2 with MICROL MAX Spray contains an anti-microbial preservative to protect the lubricant from deterioration, fouling and odor caused by microorganisms.
PURITY FG Silicone Spray is a silicone-based lubricant that forms a non-hardening film to provide moisture resistance and help prevent corrosion around heavy water wash-up areas.
PURITY FG Penetrating Oil Spray will help loosen rust and ease the disassembly of equipment and fittings. It has a silicone-free formula to allow for the easy clean up of treated surfaces to be repainted.
PURITY FG Spray is tough enough to handle wet food processing environments, its tacky nature allows it to adhere strongly to metal surfaces; resisting water washout and water spray loss.
PURITY FG COMPRESSOR FLUIDS
PURITY™ FG Compressor Fluid provides lubrication for air compressors and vacuum pumps in food processing plants. PURITY FG Compressor Fluid provides strong resistance to sludge and varnish formation: Outstanding oxidation resistance, up to 4,000-hour service in rotary screw compressors, and superb protection against rust and corrosion. Available in ISO VG 32, 46, 68, 100 food grade compressor oil viscosity grades. *SynFX is an advanced additive technology designed to deliver synthetic-like performance.
PURITY FG Synthetic Fluids for exceptional performance and longer service life than leading specialty food-grade lubricants. PURITY FG Synthetic Fluids are PAO-based products formulated for use in: Hydraulic and pneumatic systems, screw and centrifugal compressors, vane compressors, & vacuum pumps in food processing plants.
