Medallion Food Machinery Gear Oils are blended using a new generation base oil called Excelsior.
Most base oils used in industrial lubricants are yellow or amber in color. This “discoloration” is caused by a variety of impurities including traces of sulfur, nitrogen, and inferior aromatic oils. Nitrogen promotes oxidation and deposit formation. Aromatics have poor oxidation stability. Excelsior base oils are colorless and free of these materials. Excelsior oil is ideal for use in applications involving food machinery.
In laboratory tests, Whitmore’s Excelsior base oil shows a major reduction in evaporation loss. Oxidation stability exceeds that of convention base oils by 60-100%. These performance improvements translate into reduced carbon and varnish deposits. The end result is longer oil and component life.
Medallion Food Machinery Gear Oils also contain effective antiwear additives to protect metal surfaces and reduce downtime due to component failure.
Medallion Food Machinery Gear Oils are NSF Registered for H-1 authorized and can be used in food plants where incidental contact with edible products may occur.
Medallion FM Gear Oils are produced under the supervision of VA’AD HAKASHRUS of Dallas, Inc. doing business as Dallas Kosher and is considered Kosher-pareve for year-round use including Passover.
Contains an NSF-approved preservative that limits the growth of bacteria.
BENEFITS:
- H-1 RATED – for use in food processing facilities where incidental contact may occur.
- EXCELLENT DEMULSIBILITY – separates readily from water.
- REDUCES WEAR – protects against scoring, scuffing and galling to increase gear and bearing life.
- EXTENDED OIL LIFE – free of impurities including traces of sulfur, nitrogen, and inferior aromatic oils.
- IMPROVED ADHESIVENESS – insures a coating on the gears at start-up.
APPLICATIONS:
In addition to parallel-shaft gearboxes, Medallion Food Machinery Gear Oils are appropriate for moderately loaded worm gear drives, oiled bearings, and couplings. For ISO 220 viscosity grade use 80W-90. For ISO 320 or 460 choose 85W-140.
