AUTOMATIC LUBRICATION
When does it really make sense to automate lubrication?
Hard-to-reach points, high frequencies, and operator-dependent interventions can lead to irregular relubrication. MEMOLUB allows for the programming of quantity and frequency, but the choice must be based on the point, the lubricant, and the operating conditions.
However, the system and lubricant must be selected together. In the new Mascherpa guide, discover when it is advantageous to automate and which parameters to evaluate when choosing a system.

Solutions for the lubrication of the entire food plant
From component lubrication to automatic systems, Mascherpa provides specific solutions for various plant requirements. H1 lubricants and food-grade products, alongside specialized solutions for dedicated applications, allow for the coordinated management of maintenance, reliability, and food safety.
Automatic lubrication systems
MEMOLUB systems allow for the programming of quantity and frequency at points where manual intervention becomes critical. The choice should always be made in conjunction with the lubricant, considering operating conditions, distance, pressure, and frequency.
Products:
PURITY™ FG H1 lubricating greases
High-performance greases resistant to water wash-out and high-pressure acid cleaning, for bearings and components subject to high loads along the process line.
Products:
MOLYKOTE® H1 Pastes
Anti-seize pastes and specialty greases for the assembly and maintenance of screws, pins, bushings, threads, oven bearings, and plastic gears.
Products:
Krytox™ ultra-high temperature lubricants
PFPE fluorinated greases stable at ultra-high temperatures, inert and non-carbonizing, for tunnel ovens, wafer ovens, steam-heated cylinders, and thermally critical applications.
Products:
NSF H1 Food-Grade Lubricating Oils
Multipurpose and gear synthetic oils for gearboxes, chains, and transmission components in areas with incidental food contact.
Products:

NSF H1 certified anti-wear fluids for hydraulic circuits, formulated to protect pumps and components even in the presence of water and severe conditions.
Products:
- PURITY™ FG AW Hydraulic Fluid 32
- PURITY™ FG AW Hydraulic Fluid 46
- PURITY™ FG-X AW Hydraulic Fluid 46
NSF H1 Compressor Oils
Synthetic fluids for air and process compressors, featuring high oxidative stability and resistance to sludge and varnish.
Products:
HT1 Food-Grade Heat Transfer Oils
Heat transfer fluids suitable for exchangers, tunnel ovens, cooking, frying, and pasteurization lines, with high thermal and oxidative stability.
Products:
Fluids for Ammonia Compressors
For ammonia refrigeration systems, the REFLO™ line offers low solubility in the refrigerant and good pumpability at low temperatures.
Products:
Fast CRC Food-Grade Spray Maintenance
Spray solutions for rapid intervention on guides, chains, and mechanisms that are difficult to access during short downtime windows.
Products:
CERTIFICATIONS
Products Certified for Food Safety
In the food industry, lubricant certification is an integral part of safety. The ranges offered by Mascherpa include specific registrations and certifications depending on the application and product.
Certification, however, is only one part of the program: the product, application point, quantity, and frequency must be managed together.
Specific applications for every food industry market
FEATURED APPLICATION
Centrale Del Latte Di Brescia
Mascherpa real-world case. PURITY™ FG Synthetic Heavy 220 was introduced on the blow molder to meet load and temperature conditions; a process-specific solution was adopted for the labeler. A concrete example of an application-led approach.
Centrale del Latte di Brescia
Tunnel ovens and wafer ovens
Bearings exposed to high temperatures and continuous cycles may require food-grade PFPE lubricants such as Krytox™ Corrugator 226 FG, designed to work where conventional greases degrade rapidly.
Overhead hook conveyor
In hook-and-trolley systems, it is important to keep the lubricant film in place, reducing the risk of dripping. PURITY™ FG Trolley Fluid is formulated for this type of application.
Washing and grading line
PURITY™ FG2 Extreme is a food-grade solution with high resistance to wash-out, suitable for points continuously exposed to water and detergents.
Conches and refiners
PURITY™ FG EP Gear Fluid 220 is a food-grade EP oil to be evaluated for gearboxes operating in continuous cycles under load.
Bearings inside the cells
Automatic lubrication can reduce manual access to points installed in cold or hard-to-reach environments, maintaining more consistent quantities and frequencies.
PET blow molding compressors
PURITY™ FG Compressor Fluid is a food-grade synthetic oil to be evaluated for high-pressure compressors serving PET blow molders.
Plastic gears
MOLYKOTE® G-4500 FM Synthetic Grease is a food-grade grease compatible with many engineering plastics used in packaging systems.
Mascherpa insights on food safety: from audit to supplier selection
From audit preparation to supplier selection, through to packaging and labeling: technical content to deepen knowledge of maintenance, compliance, and processes related to the food sector.
FOOD-GRADE
Entirely food-grade plants: the choice for those who want to simplify management
Some food companies choose to adopt food-grade lubricants across the entire line, even where food contact is unlikely. This can be a useful choice to simplify inventory, product identification, procedures, and audit preparation.
CIBUS TEC 2026
