I. Why High-Temperature Food-Grade Lubricants Are Mandatory

In the food industry, over 60% of global production failures occur in high-temperature sections (oven chains, dryers, conveyors). The use of non-specialized high-temperature food-grade lubricants will lead to:

• Carbon deposition between chains → abnormal transmission and time-consuming cleaning
• Generation of benzene and volatile substances with peculiar odors, causing food contamination
• Failure to pass HACCP audits and delayed export orders

Therefore, industry regulations including EU 1935/2004, FDA CFR 21 and NSF H1 Standard explicitly mandate the use of special lubricants in high-temperature sections, with all ingredients required to be food-grade safe. High-temperature food-grade lubricants are far more than just lubrication products — they guarantee production continuity and brand reputation.

II. Industry Application Scenarios & Pain Points

• Baking Process: Chains of biscuit and bread ovens operating permanently above 220°C with severe carbonization
• Confectionery & Dairy Boiling: Sugar-containing residues plus high thermal load easily cause oil film failure
• Spray Drying: High speed and high temperature result in excessive lubricant evaporation
• Filling Equipment Gearboxes: High tension leading to thermal degradation of lubricants
