Special products for a wide range of applications

In the food industry, food grade lubricants play a crucial role in efficiently lubricating machines, ensuring power transmission and reliably protecting against corrosion. Our lubricants meet the strictest regulations and are characterized by the following properties:

 

 

Certified lubricants for safety and quality
Thanks to their carefully balanced formula components, BECHEM food-grade products comply with the standards and requirements applicable to modern food lubricants. They meet the strict specifications of international organizations for product testing and certification. 
  • H1: Labeling for food grade lubricants. These are lubricants that may be used where occasional, technically unavoidable contact with food cannot be ruled out.
  • H2: Labeling for lubricants for general use in food technology where there is no contact with food.
  • 3H: Labeling for release agents used in food production to prevent food from sticking (direct food contact permitted).
  • Halal: Labeling for products that are halal (permissible, allowed) according to Islamic regulations.
  • Kosher: Labeling for products that are classified as kosher (suitable, pure) according to Jewish dietary laws.
  • ISO 21469: International standard for hygiene requirements for the formulation, manufacture, and use of lubricants where unintentional contact with food cannot be ruled out.
  • Odorless and tasteless: The products are odorless and tasteless to ensure the highest product quality.
  • Free from animal ingredients: They contain no animal ingredients, and are therefore also vegan.
  • FDA suitability (H1, 3H): The products (H1, 3H) are suitable for use in the food production manufacturing process in accordance with FDA regulations.
  • Robust resistance: The products withstand the temporal, chemical, thermal and mechanical stresses of the expected operating conditions.
Berusynth H1 Series
Functional reliability is the decisive factor

We understand that the world of lubricants can be complex. That's why we developed the Berusynth H1 range, not only to set standards but also to reduce variety in the bearing. Mixing within the Berusynth H1 range does not affect the basic functions as the viscosities are intermixable.

 

Why should you choose our Berusynth H1 multifunctional oils? Here are the unbeatable reasons:

 

  • Outstanding aging and oxidation resistance: Our multifunctional oils are designed to perform reliably under extreme conditions over long periods of time.
  • Shear stability: Berusynth H1 oils offer impressive shear stability to meet even the most demanding requirements.
  • Free of mineral oil, white oil, ester, and glycol.
  • No oil-related deposits are formed.

The majority of BECHEM H1 lubricants are ISO 21469 certified. This certification provides crucial support for food and pharmaceutical manufacturers in meeting the strict hygiene requirements for the production of food and pharmaceutical products. At the same time, they serve as material verification in accordance with GMP (Good Manufacturing Practice) requirements in the pharmaceutical industry.

The products in the Berusynth H1 series are used in the following areas, among others, where they are already helping many companies to save costs and secure production:
  • Circulating lubrication
  • Planetary gears
  • Spur gears
  • Worm gears
  • Bevel gearboxes
  • Screw compressors
  • Piston compressors
  • Gearboxes for centrifuges
  • Transport and drive chains
  • Hydraulic systems
  • Vacuum pumps
  • Gear coupling
  • Central lubrication in general
  • Rotary piston blowers

BECHEM success story
Application expert Ronald D. Müller: Increasing the efficiency of pre-baking ovens

In food processing, especially in large bakeries, operators of pre-baking ovens face the challenge of lubricating oven chains under extreme conditions. Temperatures of up to 300°C require special high-temperature oils that also have H1 certification for safe contact with food. The wrong choice of lubricant or inadequate maintenance can lead to increased energy consumption, chain breakage, and costly production downtime.

 

 

Our H1-certified high-temperature oils offer the ideal solution for this demanding application. As a leading lubricant manufacturer, we have developed a special product line that not only withstands extreme temperatures but also meets the strict requirements of the food industry. Through intensive research and development, we guarantee lubricants that ensure maximum performance and safety.

Our expert for the food industry

 

Georg Roschmann

A renowned industrial bakery was faced with the challenge of increasing the efficiency of its pre-baking ovens and minimizing unwanted downtime. After a thorough analysis of the existing lubricants and application conditions, the company decided to implement our special high-temperature oil BECHEM Berusynth CG 370 H1. This synthetic high-temperature chain oil ensures reliable lubrication up to 650 °C and is therefore ideal for use in pre-baking ovens.

 

 

By using our high-temperature oil, the company was able to realize the following benefits:

  • Optimized performance: The high-temperature oils offer outstanding performance at extreme temperatures, resulting in improved chain lubrication and lower friction losses.
  • Food safety: Thanks to H1 certification, the oil is safe for contact with food. This ensures compliance with the highest food standards.
  • Maintenance efficiency: The low tendency to form deposits minimizes the need for frequent maintenance intervals, reduces downtime, and thus lowers overall operating costs.
  • Corrosion protection: The oil also provides reliable protection against corrosion and prevents chain breakage. This greatly minimizes downtime.
  • Energy efficiency: Optimized lubrication leads to reduced energy consumption, which not only reduces environmental impact but also results in significant cost savings.

The implementation of our lubricant has not only increased the reliability of the pre-baking ovens, but has also contributed to more sustainable and cost-efficient production—a result that adds value for our customer.
