Meat 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 meat processing, many offering innovations and performance benefits beyond the capabilities of mineral oils. Given the severe conditions that exist in many facets of meat-processing operations — such as extreme heat, cold, and moisture — Mobil food machinery lubricants provide advantages that may extend the service life of machine components and reduce oil changes, as well as reduce or eliminate equipment failure and unscheduled shutdowns.

Whether you process beef or pork, chicken or turkey, Mobil-branded food machinery oils and greases help manage your risks within the overall lubrication plan. Mobil SHC Cibus Series lubricants are used in processing equipment such as hydraulic systems, gear boxes, slides, chains, and conveyors.

Moisture is everywhere in the modern meat-processing plant. It can be present in very large volumes during frequent wash-down operations and at extreme temperatures. Hot water or steam affects lubricant properties differently than cold water. Mobil-branded food machinery oils and greases have been designed for outstanding water tolerance to provide and help ensure effective equipment lubrication, rust and corrosion protection, and water separability.

Mobil SHC Polyrex greases provide long re-greasing intervals and outstanding bearing protection at high temperatures, helping reduce labor and replacement costs. Formulated with proprietary technology, Mobil SHC Polyrex offers outstanding performance over a wide range of applications. Our Mobilgrease FM Series greases provide extra resistance to water washout, helping prevent corrosion-related bearing failures — the prevalent cause of failure in meat-processing lines. Increased adhesiveness and greasing intervals, extending to weekly or longer in some cases, can result in lower grease consumption. More important, having more Mobil-branded grease staying in the bearings potentially means less grease leaking out and contaminating food.
