FAQs
Is ROCOL FOODLUBE Chain Spray safe for use on all types of chains?
Yes, it is designed for all types of drive and conveyor chains, provided they operate within the specified temperature range of -20°C to +150°C.
What does NSF H1 registered mean?
NSF H1 registration indicates that the product is acceptable for use as a incidental food-grade lubricant where there may be the possibility of contact with food products.
How often should I apply the chain spray?
The frequency of application depends on the operating conditions, such as speed, load, temperature, and exposure to water or cleaning agents. Regular inspection and reapplication, typically weekly or bi-weekly, are recommended for optimal performance.
Can this lubricant withstand high-pressure wash-downs?
The spray has good resistance to water wash-off, making it suitable for environments with regular wash-downs. However, very high-pressure jets might still displace some lubricant, necessitating more frequent reapplication.
What is the shelf life of the product?
While a specific shelf life isn't provided, aerosol cans stored correctly in cool, dry conditions away from direct sunlight typically have a long shelf life, often several years.
Can I use this spray on chains in freezing temperatures?
Yes, the operating temperature range includes down to -20°C, making it suitable for use in cold environments.
Does the product have any certifications for specific dietary requirements?
Yes, in addition to NSF H1 and ISO 21469, it is also Halal certified.
Troubleshooting
Spray nozzle is blocked or not dispensing
Ensure the can is shaken thoroughly. Turn the nozzle 180 degrees and try again. If blockage persists, remove the nozzle and soak it in warm water, then dry and reattach.
Lubricant is dripping excessively after application
Ensure the chain is clean and dry before application. Apply a lighter, more even coat. Allow a few minutes for penetration and wipe off any excess lubricant before operating the chain.
Reduced lubrication effectiveness over time
Reapply the lubricant at recommended intervals based on operating conditions and environment. Ensure the chain is clean before reapplication. Check for any obstructions or wear on the chain itself.
Product used in non-food contact areas
While NSF H1 registered for incidental food contact, it is a high-performance lubricant. For non-food areas where specific industrial lubricants are recommended, ensure compatibility with those conditions.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Safe for use in food processing environments due to NSF H1 and ISO 21469 certifications.
- Excellent resistance to water wash-off, ideal for wet or wash-down areas.
- Superior penetration ensures thorough lubrication of all chain components.
- Low-drip formula reduces overspray and waste.
- Suitable for a broad range of operating temperatures.
Cons
- Requires regular application for sustained lubrication.
- Aerosol application may require careful masking of surrounding areas in some situations.
- May not be suitable for extremely high-temperature applications beyond the specified range.
Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
- Ensure the chain and surrounding area are clean and dry before application.
- Shake the can well before use.
- Hold the can approximately 15-30 cm (6-12 inches) from the chain.
- Apply a light, even coating to the moving parts of the chain, focusing on the rollers and pins.
- Allow the lubricant to penetrate for a few minutes before operating the chain. Wipe away any excess.
Compatibility:
This chain spray is designed for use on all types of drive and conveyor chains within the specified temperature range. It is compatible with most common industrial materials found in food processing equipment. Always refer to equipment manufacturer guidelines if unsure.
Care:
- Store the can in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and sources of ignition.
- Keep out of reach of children.
- Dispose of the can responsibly according to local regulations.
