BX Food Grade Grease – NSF Certified for 17 Consecutive Years.


Amid the era of specialty coffee and the launch of the 2026 new national standard for household coffee machines, bean grinding coffee machines have become a popular choice for premium home living and an essential item for commercial applications. 

As the core speed-reduction component in the grinding gear drive system, the worm gear operates under long-term high torque, continuous running, and alternating high and low temperatures. This easily leads to issues such as harsh noise, accelerated wear, oil leakage and grease splashing, and plastic swelling. 

Ordinary greases risk coffee contamination and equipment failure, failing to meet the compliance and noise control requirements for food-contact components.


Considering the materials (metal + POM plastic) and operating conditions of worm gears in bean grinding coffee machines, lubricant selection must meet three critical requirements:
  • NSF H1 food-grade certified, non-toxic, odorless, and non-migrating;

  • Highly compatible with metals and plastics, no corrosion or swelling;

  • Heat resistance ≥120℃, high adhesion to prevent oil separation, moderate damping for effective noise reduction without overloading the motor.

  • Gear worm lubrication

With 20 years of expertise in specialty lubrication and 17 consecutive years of NSF food-grade certification, BX offers two dedicated lubrication solutions for worm gears in bean grinding coffee machines:
  • BX-300/D-WY BX Food Grade Gear Noise-Reduction Grease
    Precisely matched to the operating characteristics of worm gears, delivering excellent noise reduction and wear resistance. Suitable for both household and commercial machines, ensuring long-lasting quiet performance in daily maintenance.
  • BX-434/A-WY BX Multi-Purpose Food Grade Water-Resistant Grease
    Enhanced for high-speed continuous operation, featuring high temperature resistance, dust resistance, and anti-splash properties. Offers superior durability for high-frequency commercial machines.

Both BX food-grade greases are NSF H1 food-grade certified, compliant with EU RoHS and REACH standards, supported by complete certification documents, and qualified for export. Safe and reliable for household, commercial, and overseas markets.
