Introduction to Food Greases at Jax Aerosol

Friction occurs when two moving surfaces interact. Friction leads to heat generation, reduced efficiency, and increased wear. In a machine, the goal is to reduce friction between moving parts. To balance this friction, they must be properly lubricated. Aerosol lubricant provides easy application, providing precise and targeted lubrication in hard-to-reach areas.

JAX produces high-quality greases formulated with advanced additives that provide excellent lubrication properties. They provide a thin layer of protection, for example in places where friction between moving parts is possible. In almost all factories, some parts are lubricated with aerosols.

Let's take a look at some of the most common JAX aerosols and their uses:

JAX DRY Glide Silicone Spray Food Grade Silicone Spray

Silicone is a liquid commonly used in manufacturing plants to reduce friction between plastic and metal. A very popular JAX spray is our JAX Dry Glide®FG food grade silicone spray. Formulated with a high content of silicone fluids, JAX Dry-Glide ® FG is mixed with a solvent that carries the silicone to the application site. The solvent evaporates almost immediately, leaving only the silicone behind.

This dry film reduces the coefficient of friction between surfaces and significantly reduces friction, eliminating adhesion or sticking. JAX Dry-Glide ® FG provides effective lubrication for moving parts, hinges, carriages, conveyors, sliding surfaces and other mechanisms. Another advantage is that the silicone temporarily imparts hydrophobic properties to the surface.

JAX Universal Aerosol Grease for Food Chains

Looking for a universal spray bottle that has many advantages? Check out Jax Magna-Plate®78 : a phenomenal chain lube that can be used in any factory. It works well over a wide temperature range, under high loads and extreme pressures. Jax Magna-Plate®78 does a great job of lubricating the grease, providing durability and preventing rust.

Jax Magna-Plate®78 is commonly used in chains, but is also used in many other applications such as sprockets, guides, bearings and clutches. These advantages, combined with the fact that Jax Magna-Plate®78 is NSF H1 certified, make it a very attractive choice for food lubrication.

JaxHalo-Guard® FG-2 Food Grade Spray Grease

In hard-to-reach areas where oil grease is too runny or drips, most people want to have spray greases on hand. The Jax Halo-Guard®FG-2 spray grease has the widest range of applications and high performance. It is an NSF H1 approved grease that is used in a variety of applications due to its excellent lubrication, wide temperature range and water resistance.

All of these factors make it an ideal spray for use in food processing plants where frequent washdowns and temperature fluctuations are the norm. Jax Halo-Guard ® FG-2 is widely used on packaging machines, conveyors, slicers and many other food processing equipment. Use Jax Halo-Guard ® FG-2 to extend maintenance intervals, save costs and improve equipment efficiency.

NSF Food Grade Penetrating Oil Spray JAX

Perhaps the most widely used aerosol category in the world is the osmotic penetrating oil. Used to loosen nuts, remove rust, and many other aggressive elements, drilling oil can be seen in almost every manufacturing equipment.

Jax Food Grade Penetrating Oil formulas are designed to provide reduced consumption with excellent performance. When it comes to the most commonly used aerosols, why use anything but the best?

The product presented below is one of a kind,

Jax BDF-CLING Lube is a non-drip foam grease for overhead applications.

Strongly adhesive, non-drip active foam grease for hard-to-reach parts. For use in meat processing and cutting lines.

This is a special foam oil composition designed to lubricate overhead chains or chains located at heights, at risk of displacement under the influence of gravity and requiring high lubricant penetration.

Conclusions

Machine reliability and efficiency are very important. JAX high-performance aerosol lubricants are the best solution. Proper lubrication reduces friction, which in turn reduces heat generation and wear and improves efficiency. Whether it is maintenance or repair, JAX aerosol lubricants are a versatile and affordable solution to keep your equipment running efficiently.

JAX produces high-quality aerosols that far outperform multi-purpose aerosols. Visit the store to learn more about the JAX aerosol product line.
