Dairy Processing

Mobil SHC Cibus Series lubricants, Mobilgrease FM Series greases, Mobil SHC Polyrex Series greases, and other Mobil-branded food machinery lubricants are especially effective for dairy processing, many offering innovations and performance benefits beyond the capabilities of mineral oils. Given the severe conditions that exist in many facets of dairy processing operations — such as extreme heat, cold, and moisture — Mobil-branded food machinery lubricants have been engineered with tailored properties to help provide you with productivity improvements. These include helping to extend the service life of machine components and reduce oil changes, as well as helping to reduce or eliminate equipment failure and unscheduled shutdowns.

Whether you process cheese or yogurt, cream and butter, or skimmed milk, Mobil-branded food machinery lubricants help support the transition to food-safe production — alongside your Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Points (HACCP) risk-analysis management system — in equipment such as roller or ball bearings, slides, chains, or conveyors.

Mobil SHC Cibus Series lubricants are based on synthetic base oils, thus offering food-quality lubrication with the potential benefits of longer life, lower maintenance costs, and energy savings as compared with conventional mineral oils. Moreover, the same Mobil SHC Cibus Series lubricants can be used above and below the processing line, thus reducing inventory and minimizing the risk of non-NSF H1 registered lubricants being used in sensitive food applications.

For grease lubrication, Mobil SHC Polyrex and Mobilgrease FM series offer excellent water tolerance, corrosion protection, and structural stability for longer intervals between re-lubrication and long-term equipment protection.
