Composition

216G Food Grade Gear Oil is fully formulated with the purest high viscosity index paraffinic food grade white oil and food grade extreme pressure agents, anti-wear agents, anti-oxidants, rust preventives, and demulsifiers, to provide functional performance far superior to typical white oils used in the food industry

Features & Benefits

Composition Features
  • Odorless and Tasteless: These assure the processor that the product will not be adulterated if contact with food should occur.
  • Oxidation Inhibiting: Long equipment life is assured without deposit formation. Wear Protecting: All grades are formulated to contain extreme-pressure and anti-wear additives for long equipment life.
  • High Viscosity: Increased film strength prevents metal-to-metal contact.
  • Rust Preventing: This product is formulated to ensure good water separating properties to prevent water build-up in wet environments.

Applications & Uses

Uses

Use wherever NSF (formerly U.S.D.A.) H-1 approved food grade lubricants are required for all gear lubrication applications in the canning, bottling or food processing industry and general industrial lubrication applications requiring a high viscosity extreme-pressure food grade oil, or simply a high grade viscous lubricant.

Applications
  • Gearboxes
  • Rotary Steamers
  • Worm Gears
  • Valves
  • Spur Gears
  • Canning Operations
  • Bearings

Performance Characteristics

216G Food Grade Gear Oil is a mild duty gear oil recommended for use in food machinery gear applications where a “compounded” oil is required. It gives superior performance in rotary steamers, worm and spur gears, and valves up to 300° F. 216G Food Grade Gear Oil complies with AGMA No. 7 Compounded specifications and provides excellent wear protection and freedom from scuffing in mild service, and rust protection in wet environments.
