Food Grade Lubricants and Oils: Ensuring Safety and Performance in the Food Industry
At Kernow Oils, we know how vital it is to use safe, reliable lubricants in food processing environments. Our range of food approved lubricants and oils are designed to meet the strict safety and performance standards of the food industry. Whether you’re in food manufacturing, packaging, or catering, our food approved lubricants help ensure smooth, safe operations.
The Importance of Food Grade Lubricants
Food approved lubricants prevent contamination in food processing areas. They are formulated to be safe for incidental contact with food. By using food grade oils and grease, you can meet safety regulations without compromising on performance. These lubricants help protect machinery, reduce downtime, and increase operational efficiency.
All our products comply with strict safety standards, such as NSF (National Sanitation Foundation) and FDA (Food and Drug Administration). Our food grade lubricants ensure that equipment works smoothly, minimizing the risk of contamination and damage to your machinery.
Types of Food Grade Lubricants
We offer a wide range of food approved lubricants and oils designed for various applications. Here’s an overview of the products we provide:
1. Food Grade Oils
Our food grade oils are made for maximum efficiency. They provide excellent lubrication, reduce wear, and improve machine performance. These oils are perfect for conveyors, mixers, pumps, and more. Our oils include:
- Synthetic Food Grade Oils – These offer top-tier protection against high temperatures and heavy loads, making them perfect for demanding environments.
- Mineral Food Grade Oils – These are ideal for light to medium-duty applications and are cost-effective for most food processing operations.
Choosing the right food approved oil helps extend equipment life and cut down on maintenance costs.
2. Food Grade Grease
For high-load, high-friction areas, food grade grease is the best solution. Our greases provide long-lasting protection for machinery like bearings, gears, and chains. They ensure smooth operation and compliance with food safety standards.
Key features of our food-grade greases include:
- Water-resistant properties – They resist water washout, ensuring reliable performance in wet environments.

With the right food approved grease, you’ll reduce wear and prevent breakdowns.
