Navigating the world of lubricants in the food industry involves considering NSF ratings, a crucial aspect in ensuring compliance with safety standards. Understanding these ratings is essential for making informed choices in various applications. The H1 rating designates lubricants suitable for incidental food contact, allowing use in and around food processing areas. These lubricants can protect against rust, act as release agents, and serve as machine lubricants with minimal exposure to food. On the other hand, H2-rated lubricants are intended for areas with no potential contact with edible products. Meanwhile, the 3H rating applies to release agents or direct food contact, particularly on surfaces in contact with food during processing. Some lubricants can hold both H1 and 3H ratings, offering versatility. For detailed guidance on selecting the right lubricant for your application, our Lubricant Specialists are ready to assist you at 800-826-8302.

It is quite easy to go through the day without taking a second look or give a second thought to the brushes we may use in our food industry operations or in our homes. Considering the vigorous workouts that we give our brushes, and the harsh conditions we expose them to, these workhorses are probably, at best, considered a basic tool with a basic function. Yet, the brushes we utilize today in industrial and domestic realms are the result of continuously morphing science and engineering standards.
For instance, filaments, the frontline soldiers in scouring, are put under a great deal of constant duress. In order to ensure that filaments (which can be made of several different materials, including polyester and polypropylene) don’t shed like needles from a dry Christmas tree, various settings have been developed to both allow durability and reflect standards of sanitary practice.
For basic cleaning, filaments have been traditionally set in with staples. Filaments are held in place, allowing for a level of durability and the ability to retain the filaments. However useful, staple-set brushes, because of their setting do permit small pieces of debris to get caught within the setting and may allow the growth of potential bacteria that get caught there. Such general-use brushes may work within certain circumstances; yet, they present some issues when contending with ensuring sanitary standards in food industry environments.
