Food & Beverage Processing: Certified Safety and Operational Reliability

NSF H1 Certified Lubricants for Critical Equipment

As an Authorized Channel Partner for Lubrizol, we offer the CPI® line of advanced synthetic lubricants, engineered to meet the exact standards of major air compressor OEMs while maintaining full food-safety compliance.

• Rotary Screw & Centrifugal Compressors:
  • CPI®-4600-F: A high-quality polyalphaolefin (PAO) lubricant with oxidation protection, rated for 4,000 hours of service.
  • CPI®-4265-F:A premium PAO and food-grade ester blend offering superior oxidative stability and resistance to sludge and varnish, rated for 8,000 hours.
• Reciprocating & Rotary Vane Compressors:
  • CPI®-4608-F: A PAO-based lubricant featuring both oxidation and anti-wear protection.
  • CPI®-FMO:  Formulated with food-grade technical white mineral oil (WMO), this fluid is ideal for reciprocating compressors and gearboxes.

Safe System Cleaning and Maintenance

Transitioning between fluids or removing internal buildup in a food-grade facility requires specialized chemistry that meets regulatory standards.

• CPI®-Comp Flush FG: Our NSF H1 certified food-grade compressor cleaner is fully compatible with mineral oils and PAO base oils. It is the ideal solution for cleaning varnished compressors or switching from competitor fluids in facilities where certified products are a requirement.
• Bio-Based Cleaning Solutions: We provide advanced bio-based and biodegradable industrial cleaners that reduce toxicity and improve plant air quality, helping you stay ahead of evolving environmental regulations.

Advanced Thermal Management: Food-Safe Heat Transfer

In addition to our certified lubricants, Fluid Dynamics provides the Paratherm™ portfolio of high-performance heat transfer fluids for closed-loop thermal systems. These solutions are critical for food processing applications requiring precise temperature control, such as industrial frying, baking, or pasteurization.

• Broad Operating Spectrum: Paratherm™ fluids are engineered to perform consistently across a wide thermal range, from -126°F up to +650°F. This versatility supports both high-heat processing and low-temperature cooling requirements within a single facility.
• Exceptional Thermal Stability: These synthetic organic-based fluids are designed to resist thermal breakdown, exhibiting up to 40% less degradation under extreme heat compared to standard mineral oils. This protects your system from fouling and unplanned shutdowns, ensuring maximum uptime.
• Vapor-Free Efficiency: Paratherm™ fluids reach peak temperatures without boiling or entering a volatile vapor phase, providing superior thermal efficiency for sensitive food manufacturing processes.
• System Longevity: Engineered to maintain low viscosity (under 300 cSt) even during low-temperature start-ups, these fluids reduce centrifugal pump strain and system wear.

Proactive Technical Support & Analysis

Operational reliability in food processing depends on proactive monitoring. We provide the technical assistance needed to ensure your equipment is running at peak efficiency.

• 48-Hour Used Oil Analysis: We offer in-house testing with a 48-hour turnaround, comparing your results against original fluid specifications and previous samples to identify potential issues before they cause downtime.
• OEM Compliance: Our CPI® technology is formulated to meet the exact standards of leading air compressor manufacturers, providing peace of mind for your maintenance teams.
• VOC-Free Safety: Our high-performance fluids, such as the proprietary NuSOL® line, feature zero reportable VOCs and high-flashpoint base oils to eliminate workplace mist and odors, further protecting your staff and environment.
