Product Description
Description
CASSIDA FLUID GL 150, 220, 320, 460 and 680 are high performance, anti-wear gear oils specially developed for the lubrication of enclosed gears in food and beverage processing machinery.
They are based on a careful blend of synthetic fluids and selected additives chosen for their ability to meet the stringent requirements of the food industry.
Registered by NSF (Class H1) for use where there is potential for incidental food contact. These products meet the guidelines (1998) of, and were previously authorized by, the US Department of Agriculture Food Safety and Inspection Service (USDA FSIS) for H1 use (lubricant with incidental food contact) and listed in Miscellaneous Publication No 1419 “List of Proprietary Substances and Nonfood Compounds”. Product contain only substances permitted under US 21 CFR 178.3570, 178.3620 and 182 for use in lubricants with incidental food con-tact.
Application
• Lubrication of enclosed gearboxes used in the food industry.
• Also intended for use in equipment manufacturing food packaging.
Advantages/Benefits
• Resist the formation of harmful products of oxidation even at elevated temperatures
• Base oils have the ability to provide superior lubrication under all operating conditions
• Excellent EP properties make CASSIDA FLUID GL grades suitable for steel-on-steel and worm and phosphor-bronze wheel applications.
• Neutral odor and taste
• High viscosity index resulting in minimum variation of viscosity with change in temperature.

Seal and Paint Compatibility
Compatible with the elastomers, gaskets, seals and paints normally used in food machinery lubrication systems. Protect the environment Take used lubricants and empty packs to an authorised collection point. Do not discharge into drains, soil or water. Oil condition during use It is recommended that the condition of the oil and the equipment be regularly checked to ensure safe operation.
"Incidental Food contact"
Registered by NSF (Class H1) and meet the USDA H1 guidelines (1998) for lubricants for use where there is a potential for incidental food contact. Certified by NSF for ISO 21469, Safety of machinery, Lubricants with incidental product contact, Hygiene requirements. Made only from substances permitted under the US FDA Title 21 CFR 178.3570, 178.3620 and/or those generally regarded as safe (US 21 CFR 182) for use in food grade lubricants. To comply with the requirements of US 21 CFR 178.3570, contact with food should be avoided where possible. In the case of incidental food contact, the concentration of the products in the food must not exceed 10 parts per million (10mg/kg of foodstuff). In locations and/or applications where local legislation does not specify maximum concentration limits, FUCHS recommends that this same 10ppm limit be observed, as up to this concentration CASSIDA FLUID GL grades will not impart undesirable taste, odor or color to food, nor will they cause adverse health effects. Consistent with good manufacturing practice, use only the amount necessary to achieve correct lubrication and take appropriate corrective action should excessive incidental contact with food be detected.
Handling and storage
All food grade lubricants should be stored separately from other lubricants, chemical substances and foodstuffs and out of direct sunlight or other heat sources. Store between 0ºC and 40ºC. Provided that the products have been stored under these conditions we recommend that the products be used within 5 years from the date of manufacture. Consult FUCHS for details. Accept for use new CASSIDA FLUID GL grades only if the manufacturer's seal is intact. Before opening the packs ensure the area around the closure is clean. It is recommended that it be cleaned with potable water and then dried with a clean cloth before opening. Record the date the seal was broken. To prevent product contamination, always close the package after use. Upon opening a pack, the product must be used within 2 years (or within 5 years of date of manufacture, whichever is the sooner).
