Food Grade Lubricants from Chevron
Lubricating Oils and Greases for the Food Processing and Food Manufacturing Industries - While today's food processing equipment outperforms the machines of yesterday, the challenges remain the same—find a food-grade lubricant that is able to minimize wear and water contamination. Our products have been proven to protect hydraulics throughout the plant, combining superior antiwear properties with excellent water reparability.
