The application of food grade grease in pharmaceutical equipment

In the pharmaceutical industry, equipment lubrication is not only related to operational efficiency but also directly linked to drug safety. In accordance with the requirements of Good Manufacturing Practice (GMP) for drugs, pharmaceutical enterprises must implement strict risk control on lubricants to ensure that any substances that may come into contact with drugs do not cause contamination. This is why food-grade lubricating oil has become the first choice for pharmaceutical equipment.


Why is food grade lubricating grease used in pharmaceutical equipment


Whether it is tablet presses, blister packaging machines, capsule filling equipment, or autoclaves, contact between drugs and equipment during the production process is almost unavoidable. If the lubricant fails to meet standards, once it mixes with drugs, it will pose serious quality risks. Therefore, the requirements for lubricants in pharmaceutical equipment are not only about "lubrication" but also, more importantly, about "safety".


Take the tablet press as an example. It is an important piece of equipment for compressing granular or powdered materials into tablets, and it usually has three key lubrication points:


Pressure roller position: Baoxing BX-120 series food-grade lubricating spray, which is easy to operate by hand. Its high-viscosity base oil prevents oil slinging and provides thick oil film with excellent lubricating performance.

Punch concentration area: Baoxing BX-308 series food-grade lubricating oil, which has good anti-wear and anti-oxidation properties, effectively extending the equipment's lubrication cycle.


Die guide rail: Baoxing BX-300 series food-grade lubricating grease, which has good centralized pumping performance, excellent anti-wear, lubricating, and high-temperature resistance. It still maintains long-term lubrication under high-speed production conditions.

The requirements for lubrication in the pharmaceutical industry have never been limited to "reducing friction"; more importantly, they are about "protecting drug safety". Baoxing food-grade lubricants, with safety and compliance as the premise, provide stable and reliable lubrication solutions for pharmaceutical enterprises.
