Product Information CASSIDA FLUID CR series

Compressor lubricants for food manufacturing machinery

CASSIDA FLUID CR 46 and 100 are high performance fluids specially developed for use in rotary
screw and vane air compressors used in the food and beverage processing and packaging industry.
They are based on a careful blend of synthetic fluids and selected additives chosen for their ability to meet the
stringent requirements of the food industry.
Certified by NSF for ISO 21469 and registered by NSF (Class H1) for use where there is potential for incidental
food contact. These products meet the guidelines (1998) of, and were previously authorized by, the US Depart-
ment of Agriculture Food Safety and Inspection Service (USDA FSIS) for H1 use (lubricant with incidental food
contact) and listed in Miscellaneous Publication No 1419 “List of Proprietary Substances and Nonfood Com-
pounds”. Products contain only substances permitted under US 21 CFR 178.3570, 178.3620 and 182 for use in
lubricants with incidental food contact.

Applications Approvals & Recommendations

 Screw and vane compressors
 Plain and anti-friction bearings
 General purpose lubrication including light duty gear-
boxes
Performance Features
 Base fluids have an ability to provide superior lubrica-
tion under the majority of operating conditions
 Very good anti-wear performance resulting in greater
plant utilisation.
 CASSIDA FLUID CR has inherently good water
shedding properties and resistance to foaming
 Excellent high temperature performance resists the
formation of harmful products of oxidation at elevated
temperatures, resulting in long oil life
 Neutral odour and taste
 High viscosity index
 Good protection against corrosion of all metal work-
ing surfaces
 Good low temperature properties down to -40°C
These products have demonstrated similar performance
to conventional compressor lubricants in rotary air com-
pressors (Hydrovane type) operating at normal tempera-
tures, e.g. up to 100°C. It is strongly recommended that
a used oil and/or equipment condition monitoring service
be employed for extended periods of operation in excess
of the pump manufacturers’ recommended oil change
intervals.
Seal and Paint Compatibility
Compatible with the elastomers, gaskets, seals and
paints normally used in food machinery lubrication sys-
tems.
Specifications and Certificates
 NSF H1
 NSF ISO 21469
 Kosher
 Halal
 DIN 51506 VBL, VCL, VDL

 FAG recommendation
Synthetic lubricants
 Do not contain natural products derived from animals
or genetically modified organisms (GMO).
May contain derivatives of coconut oil
 Do not contain any allergenic or intolerance-inducing
substances as specified in Annex IIIa of EC directive
203/98/EC
 Suitable for use where vegetarian and ‘nut-free’ food is
prepared.
 Biostatic; do not promote the growth of bacteria or fun-
gal organisms.
“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.
Certified by NSF for ISO 21469, Safety of machinery, Lu-
bricants with incidental product contact, Hygiene require-
ments.
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 these
products in the food must not exceed 10 parts per million
(10mg/kg of foodstuff).
