NSF H1: The Intersection of Safety & Performance

INDUSTRIAL STRENGTH CHEMISTRY FOR SENSITIVE ENVIRONMENTS

Why "Standard" Oil Fails in Food Processing

In a food or beverage facility, the environmental demands are brutal. Machines are subjected to frequent high-pressure washdowns with aggressive chemicals and steam. Standard industrial oils emulsify and wash away, leaving bearings exposed. Furthermore, if a standard lubricant leaks into the product, the entire batch is scrap. AMSOIL Food Grade Lubricants are NSF H1 registered, meaning they are chemically safe for incidental food contact while remaining physically tough enough to handle 24/7 production lines.

Combating the Washdown Cycle

The biggest threat to a food-processing gearbox is water ingress. AMSOIL Food-Grade oils are formulated with superior water-handling properties. They resist the "foaming" that occurs when steam and water mix with oil, and they provide a protective barrier on metal surfaces that refuses to be washed away by sanitation chemicals. We offer a full line of ISO 32, 46, and 68 Hydraulic Oils and ISO 150, 220, and 320 Gear Oils to keep your conveyors and mixers running indefinitely.

Food Grade Grease: The High-Temp Challenge

Ovens and coolers create massive temperature swings. AMSOIL Food Grade Grease is a "True Synthetic" that maintains its tackiness in the heat of a commercial oven and stays pliable in a flash freezer. It won't "bleed" out of the bearing and into the food, ensuring you stay in compliance with USDA and FDA regulations without sacrificing the life of your equipment.

The K&M Manufacturing Advantage

If your shop is bidding on medical, pharmaceutical, or food-grade contracts, you need the right documentation. We provide the technical data sheets and NSF certifications required for your facility's HACCP (Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Point) plans. We don't just sell oil; we sell the peace of mind that comes with knowing your lubricants are as high-quality as the products you produce.

  • NSF H1 Registered: Fully compliant for incidental food contact.
  • Washdown Resistant: Stays on the metal through steam and chemical cleaning.
  • High-Temp Stability: Won't liquefy or carbonize in industrial ovens.
  • Full Viscosity Range: Options for everything from light hydraulics to heavy gearboxes.
