Food Safe Lubricants
IKV UK in are manufacturers of a full range of food grade lubricants, all having NSF H1, H2 or 3H classification.
Lubricants for use within food processing & manufacturing the products must be totally non-toxic and satisfy the regulations for non-food compounds used in food manufacturing plants.
These strict guidelines mean products are selected based upon their use/classification with either incidental food contact USDA H1 (now NSF H1 class), H2 Class (without risk of food contact) or H3 (direct food contact).
Secondly they must perform well as lubricants, often extreme high or low temperatures or aggressive cleaning processes are encountered, all of which can adversely affect the life of the lubricant.
In bakeries for example, the ovens can reach temperatures in excess of 300C. Conveying components and chain bearings operating in these conditions can often require frequent re-lubrication or cleaning to remove unwanted lubricant residue build up.
We can supply everything from hydraulic, gearbox and general lubricating oils to food grade greases for extremes of temperature from –73 C to 300 C+. We also have a range of biodegradable products should this be required.
Using the correct lubricant in any given application can reduce costs, increase productivity and reduce costly failures whilst also reducing the overall environmental impact.

The Brugarolas products G.Beslux Atox, Beslux Atox and Beslux Gear Atox have been designed specifically to lubricate machines and equipment in the food industry where there may be incidental contact with food.
Our IKV Beslux Chain 3020 Atox is a high temperature, fully synthetic bakery chain oil used widely in tortilla ovens, naan bread production and other flat bread applications which is NSF H1 certified.
Our IKV Ramca range of synthetic ester bakery chain oils is ideal for bakery chains running at extremes of temperature where minimal lacquering and re-lubrication coupled with long chain life is the goal. These oils can be either automatically applied or brushed on manually. We also supply Ramca oils in aerosol form.
Our IKV Fluor and Zarox range of fluorinated oils and greases are ideal in critical applications where an ultimate resistance to extremes of temperature (high and low), water washout & non flammability is required.
The IKV Densolina range is for applications where direct food contact lubrication is required for example on meat slicers, cutting blades and chopping boards.
