Synthetic direct contact fluid for food processing applications in the food manufacturing industry

Performance Features

• Registered for direct food contact
• Low volatility resulting in reduced carryover into edible oil product when used as absorber oil
• High viscosity index results in minimum variation of viscosity with change in temperature. This facilitates pump selection.
• Wide temperature range for application
• High temperature ａnd oxidation stability
• Neutral odour ａnd taste

Certifications ａnd Specifications

• NSF 3H, H1, HT1
• NSF ISO 21469
• Kosher
• Halal

Description

CASSIDA FLUID DC 32 is a multipurpose fluid designed for a number of special applications in the food manufacturing industry, including absorber oil for edible oil solvent recovery systems, can-forming ａnd closed circuit/pressure less heat transfer systems. The fluid has been specially developed to meet the stringent requirements of the food industry. 
It is based on a careful blend of synthetic fluids chosen for their ability to meet the stringent requirements of the food industry. Certified by NSF for ISO 21469 ａnd registered by NSF for use in both direct contact applications (Class 3H) ａnd where there is potential for incidental food contact (Classes H1 ａnd HT1). Produced according to FLT Quality Standards, in facilities where HACCP audit ａnd Good Manufacturing Practice have been implemented ａnd form part of the quality ａnd hygiene management systems ISO 9001 ａnd ISO 21469.

Applications

• Absorber oil for edible oil extraction plant solvent recovery systems
• Release agent used on grills, loaf pans, cutters, boning benches, chopping blocks or other hard surfaces to help prevent food from adhering during processing
• Forming oil for

General Instructions

When used as a heat transfer fluid, care should be taken to ensure sufficient flow rate to avoid even a temporary overheating of the heat transfer fluid. Reynolds-Number should be >10,000 (ten thousand). This is most important during start up ａnd shut down of the heating system. The surface temperature of the heating elements (film temperature) should not exceed +320 °C. The physical parameters of the oil necessary for the calculation of the heat transfer coefficient in the system, such as density, specific heat ａnd coefficient of thermal conductivity are indicated in the table below.

Seal ａnd Paint Compatibility

Compatible with the elastomers, gaskets, seals ａnd paints normally used in food machinery lubrication systems.

Handling ａnd Storage

All food grade lubricants should be stored separately from other lubricants, chemical substances ａnd foodstuffs ａnd out of direct sunlight or other heat sources. Store between 0 °C ａnd +40 °C. Provided that the product has been stored under these conditions we recommend to use the product within 5 years from the date of manufacture. Upon opening a pack, the product must be used within 2 years (or within 5 years of date of manufacture, whichever is the sooner).
