- All NSF registered products are listed at www.nsf.org.
- NSF H1 is a continuation of the USDA H1 program.
- Only FDA listed ingrediants are used.
- All products are free from genetically modified ingredients.
- All products are free from nut and nut derived ingredients.
- Excellent lubricating performance across the range
- A complete range covering all applications
For too long maintenance engineers have had to trade off lubrication performance to ensure food safety compliance. The situation is now resolved with the introduction of the Maintenance Direct complete range of Ultra High performance food lubricants, increased machinery life and reduced downtime, aligned with Food Safety, are the new standard.
FF140 - Food Safe Oil
May be used in areas where direct food contact is unavoidable such as mincing blades, meat counters etc as a non-stick coating. Also offers a replacement for light machine oil, in a multitude of uses within the food processing industry. FF140 lubricates cleanly and offers protection from corrosion in water saturated conditions.
FF156 - Ultra Food Plant Bearing Grease
Ideal for anti-friction (roller) bearings and plain bearings (slides etc). FF156 has significantly better performance, in heavily loaded and water-saturated applications, than most industrial greases.
FF173 - Food Grade Chain Spray
Fully synthetic ultra high performance chain spray which offers superb lubrication and greatly extended chain life. FF173 reduces lubricant usage due to its \\\"staying power\\\" whilst working in the most arduous conditions. 360 degree nozzle allows for application at any angle, even upside down.
FF174 - Food Grade Airline Oil
Food safe light oil which \"mists\" easily and dissipates cleanly when released into the work area. FF174 reduces contamination and improves performance, particularly in lightweight hand-held pneumatic tools.
FF163 - Food Grade Penetrant & Release Oil
Tremendously effective penetrating and release oil, which allows for components to be dismatled in the food production area with ease. 360° nozzle allows for application at any angle, even upside down.
FF170 - Food Assembly Grease/Anti Seize
Fully replaces non-food safe anti-seize compunds in all areas of food production and may also be used when assembling interference fits, such as bearings onto shafts, drive splines etc. to reduce friction and damage caused during assembly procedures.
FF176 - Food Grade Hydraulic Fluid
Designed specifically for use in hydraulic systems, FF176 offers improved performance and safety over conventional hydraulic fluids. Using a very high viscosity index base fluid helps reduce thinning of the oil at high operating temperatures and therefore reduces pressure leaks.
FF172 - Food Chain and Gear Lube
Special additives ensure FF172 effectively coats gears, providing protection from \"start up\" wear and tear. The superb load carryinf properties of FF172 offer unbeatable lubrication for food machinery gearboxes. In addition, FF172 offers excellent results as a bulk chain lubricant for conveyors, bakery prover chains etc.
FF117 - Food Plant Spray Grease
High performance food safe grease in a handy aerosol, FF117 provides instant highly pressurised resistant lubrication wherever it is required. A 360° nozzle allows for use at any angle, even upside down.
FF118 - Food Plant Lube
Versatile and effective, FF118 may be used for general light lubrication of any machinery in the food production area which requires a clean light grade oil.
FF152 - Ultra Clear Food Bearing Grease
The latest addition to our food grease range, FF152 offers superb chemical resistance and its smooth consistency makes it ideal for small or high speed bearings, particularly in water saturated conditions.
FF175 - Hi-Temp Food Bearing Grease
With a temperature range of -30°C to +230°C and exceptional resistance to water and chemicals, FF175 offers market leading performance, extended bearing life and excellent savings in lubricant usage.
FF177 - Food Grade Compressor Fluid
MDE Food Grade compressor lubricants are a special formulation of ultra pure synthetic base oils and antioxidant system. The result: performance that exceeds many industrial grade lubricants with no compromise in food grade purity.
XX-PFPE - PFPE Teflo
Suitable for the lubrication of bearings, slides, small gears and valves operating at high temperatures, up to 280ºC constantly and/or where there is a risk of attack by chemicals or solvents, and in the presence of oxygen. Also suitable for applications requiring ‘lubrication for life’.
FF100 3H - UltraSafe Food Grease 3H
The world\\\\\\\'s first bearing grease designed to meet the stringent 3H requirements for lubricants which directly contact food during processing. Specifically developed to meet the 3H specifications and properly lubricate machine parts which come into direct contact with food, for example blades in mincing machinery, \\\\\\\"wizard saws\\\\\\\" etc, this grease is also suitable for use across a range of food safe applications, encompassing a range temperature, wet environments, and where there is a presence of dust and other contaminants. Ultra-Safe Food Grease 3H contains Extreme Pressure (EP) additives and solid lubricants to provide a high degree of anti-wear performance. All ingredients are FDA listed. Suitable for plain and anti-friction bearings, as well as sliding surfaces. Ultra-Safe is extremely well suited to use in any industry, where cleanliness and performance are important. NB for exceptionally heavy loads and/or water saturated conditions please refer to your representative for information on a specific food safe grease for your application.
