A Pet's Best Friend - NEVASTANE Lubrication for (Pet) Food Safety

Total’s NEVASTANE XS is a range of calcium sulfonate greases. Formulated with a 100% synthetic base oil, it’s perfect for food pellet presses for two reasons. Firstly, because of its thermal stability, and, secondly, because of its intrinsic extreme pressure (EP) properties.

With the NEVASTANE XS grease in place, and lubricating effectively, the temperature of the bearing in the presses dropped dramatically. This led in turn to a significant decrease in the number of equipment failures and resulting forced shutdowns – as well as helping to prolong the life of the bearings.

At the same time, because NEVASTAND XS is a food-grade product, the risk of product contamination was greatly reduced. The customer was subsequently able to optimise food safety, at the same time as increasing productivity to meet production targets.

Taking the reduction in spending on lubricant, together with the increase in equipment uptime, the customer saved around £50,000 per annum.

All NEVASTANE products meet NSF H1, for use in applications where incidental food contact may occur. They are also compliant with ISO 21469, which is the leading industry standard for food safety.

Comprising food-safe oils, greases aerosols and other lubricants, the Total NEVASTANE range of synthetic lubricants include synthetic PAO, PAG, Ester, calcium sulfonate complex and PTFE greases. And, all Total NEVASTANE products are allergen-free, GMO-free, and Halal and Kosher certified.

So, choose any NEVASTNAE product and you can be sure of food safety compliance, because for a food-safe lubricant manufacturer, Total is top dog.
