FAG Arcanol FOOD2 Meets the Strict Requirements of the Food Industry

Schaeffler now offers the kosher and halal certified lubricant FAG Arcanol FOOD2 for the food industry. This rolling bearing grease is registered to category H1 with the NSF (National Sanitation Foundation) and, moreover, offers a significantly improved performance than its predecessor. Lower friction, improved flowability at low temperatures and better wear protection extend its field of application and reduce power and materials consumption. Typical applications of FAG Arcanol FOOD2 include filling plants, sealing machines, meat and fish processing machines, freezing plants and many other plants in the food and beverages industry.

Halal and kosher certification – NSF H1 registered
Jewish and Muslim food laws apply not only to food and beverages but also to the machines and the environment where they are produced. The certification of the lubricating grease FAG Arcanol FOOD2 confirms that the strict halal and kosher certification requirements are fulfilled. Schaeffler has thus increased its range of products for customers in the food processing industry by products that meet these religious requirements. Another requirement for the food industry is the registration of lubricants with the American organisation NSF. All greases and oils that occasionally come into direct contact with food must be registered to NSF Category H1. The new lubricant meets this requirement as well. In future, FAG Arcanol FOOD2 will be used at Schaeffler as the standard grease for corrosion-resistant deep groove ball bearings and radial insert ball bearing series that are increasingly used in the food industry.

FAG Arcanol FOOD2 – Softer, sturdier, less friction
Lubricants must always work perfectly, even at the low temperatures that - especially in the food industry – are often absolutely necessary. The new FAG Arcanol FOOD2 maintains its flowability in cold environments and is suitable for temperatures of up to -30° Celsius. Its reduced friction is another big advantage which improves the rolling bearings‘ starting behaviour and reduces their power consumption. In the so-called FE8 test – the wear protection test to DIN 51819 – tapered roller bearings and angular contact ball bearings that were lubricated with FAG Arcanol FOOD2 achieved significantly better results than with the previous version of the lubricant. In tapered roller bearings and angular contact ball bearings, grease is subjected to most extreme stresses – so the result of the FE tests also means significantly less wear for all other bearing types. The new FAG Arcanol FOOD2 not only meets the strict standards and religious requirements in the food industry, it also copes with the high stresses and ambient conditions.
Schaeffler also offers a number of other lubricants that were designed and tested especially for bearing technology. The Arcanol rolling bearing greases offer better properties than standard greases in all fields and are suitable – depending on their version - for very high temperatures, high loads or extreme speeds.
