Fuchs Cassida Fluid WG 320 - Foodgrade

CASSIDA FLUID WG 320 Performance, Features & Benefits:

Registered by NSF (Class H1) for use where there is potential for incidental food contact. Products contain only substances permitted under US 21 CFR 178.3570, 178.3620 and 182 for use in lubricants with incidental food contact.

• + High resistance to micro-pitting
• + Neutral odour and taste
• + High viscosity index: Maintains higher viscosities at higher temperatures, giving thicker oil films under difficult conditions
• + CASSIDA FLUID WG provides excellent thermal stability, load carrying properties and corrosion protection. Resistant to the formation of harmful oxidation products
• + Exceptional low friction providing efficient power transmission. Measured worm gear efficiency is high relative to other oils
• + Water solubility makes CASSIDA FLUID WG ideal for use in situations where equipment gets routinely cleaned before and after use and where some water might penetrate into the lubricant
• + Does NOT mix with mineral oils or PAO
   

Seal & Paint Compatibility of CASSIDA FLUID WG 320

Compatible with most of the elastomers, gaskets and seals normally used in food machinery lubrication systems. Nitrile rubber (NBR), Fluoro-Silicone or Vinyl- Methyl Polysiloxane (Q) are recommended especially where high temperatures are involved. Polyurethane based elastomers, leather, cork, asbestos paper and board should be avoided.
 

Note: see warning about seal shrinkage in section on change-over procedures. Some ordinary industrial paints soften in the presence of CASSIDA FLUID WG. Internal gearbox surfaces should ideally be unpainted or coated with resistant material such as two-part epoxy formulations.

Synthetic lubricant

• Does not contain natural products derived from animals or genetically modified organisms (GMO)
• Does not contain any allergenic or intoleranceinducing substances as specified in Annex IIIa of EC directive 2003/89/EC
• Suitable for use where vegetarian and ‘nutfree’ food is prepared
• Biostatic; does not promote the growth of bacteria or fungal organisms
   

Change over procedures

When changing from a lubricant based on mineral oil or PAO, the following procedure must be followed: The equipment should be at normal operating temperature then the oil drained off as fully as possible. Special attention should be paid to reservoirs, lines etc. where oil may be trapped. Then the system must be flushed with the new lubricant, which should then be drained before refilling with fresh, new lubricant. Note: Seals previously exposed to mineral oils may shrink when exposed to CASSIDA FLUID WG. This can result in oil leaks. It may therefore sometimes be necessary to replace them.

"Incidental Food contact"

Registered by NSF (Class H1) and meets the USDA H1 guidelines (1998) for lubricants for use where there is a potential for incidental food contact. Made only from substances permitted under the US FDA Title 21 CFR 178.3570, 178.3620 and/or those generally regarded as safe (US 21 CFR 182) for use in food grade lubricants. To comply with the requirements of US 21 CFR 178.3570, contact with food should be avoided where possible. In the case of incidental food contact, the concentration of this product in the food must not exceed 10 parts per million (10mg/kg of foodstuff). In locations and/or applications where local legislation does not specify maximum concentration limits, it is recommended that this same 10 ppm limit be observed, as up to this concentration CASSIDA FLUID WG will not impart undesirable taste, odour or colour to food, nor will cause adverse health effects. Consistent with good manufacturing practice, use only the amount necessary to achieve correct lubrication and take appropriate corrective action should excessive incidental contact with food be detected.
 

Protect the environment

Take used lubricants and empty packs to an authorised collection point. Do not discharge into drains, soil or water.

Health & Safety

Based on information available, CASSIDA FLUID WG is unlikely to present any significant health or safety hazard when properly used in the recommended application and good standards of industrial and personal hygiene are maintained. As for all oils, prolonged or repeated contact with the skin should be avoided. For further information refer to the appropriate Material Safety Data Sheet.
 

Handling & storage

All food grade lubricants should be stored separately from other lubricants, chemical substances and foodstuffs and out of direct sunlight or other heat sources. Store between 0°C and 40°C. Provided that the product has been stored under these conditions we recommend that the product be used within 5 years from the date of manufacture. Accept for use new CASSIDA FLUID WG only if the manufacturer's seal is intact. Before opening the pack, ensure the area around the closure is clean. It is recommended that it be cleaned with potable water and then dried with a clean cloth before opening. Record the date the seal was broken. To prevent product contamination, always close the package after use. Upon opening a pack, the product must be used within 2 years (or within 5 years of date manufacture, whichever is the sooner).

Typical Physical Characteristics of CASSIDA FLUID WG 320

Is Shell Cassida Fluid WG 320 the same as Fuchs Cassida Fluid WG 320?

Fuchs Cassida are speciality lubricants designed for use in the food industry. Fuchs Cassida products have the same properties as Shell Cassida because Fuchs acquired Shell's food-safe line in 2008. They are widely used in the food and beverage industry. However, it is important to choose the right lubricant based on the specific application and equipment requirements.

For which applications is Fuchs Cassida Fluid WG 320 suitable?

Fuchs Cassida Fluid WG 320 is suitable for various applications in the food industry where lubrication with an oil is required. It can be used in applications such as gearboxes, conveyor systems, bearings and other machine parts that come into contact with food. Cassida Fluid WG 320 meets strict food safety standards and regulations applicable to the food industry. The lubricant is designed to perform under severe conditions, such as high loads and temperatures. It is important to note that this lubricant is not intended for direct contact with food and should only be applied to designated machine parts according to the prescribed procedures and safety measures, as recommended by the manufacturer.
