High Performance NSF H1 Registered Lubricants for Food Machinery

Product Description

Mobil SHC Cibus™ Series lubricants are outstanding performance hydraulic, compressor, gear ａnd bearing oils designed to provide outstanding equipment protection, long oil life ａnd problem-free operation in the food ａnd beverage processing ａnd packaging industries. They are formulated from FDA ａnd NSF registered hydrocarbon base fluids ａnd additives. The combination of the naturally high viscosity index ａnd the proprietary additive system enables the Mobil SHC Cibus series lubricants to provide outstanding performance in a wide range of service applications at high ａnd low temperatures, high loading ａnd in areas of high wash-down well beyond the capabilities of typical mineral oils.

Mobil SHC Cibus lubricants are NSF H1 registered lubricants ａnd also comply with Title 21 CFR 178.3570 by the Food ａnd Drug Administration (USA) for lubricants with incidental food contact. Also, the Mobil SHC Cibus Lubricants are manufactured at ISO 22000 certified facilities that also meet the requirements of ISO 21469 helping to ensure that the highest levels of product integrity are maintained. They are also suitable for Kosher ａnd Halal food preparation for multi faith applications ａnd to offer processing engineers maximum flexibility during operations. The products are pale in color with low odour ａnd are formulated to be free of animal derived materials ａnd allergens from nuts, wheat or gluten.

The Mobil SHC Cibus Series products have low traction coefficients, derived from the molecular structure of the base stocks used.  This results in low fluid friction in the load zone of non-conforming surfaces.  Low fluid friction produces lower operating temperatures ａnd improved equipment efficiency, which potentially translates into reduced power consumption.  The carefully engineered products also help to extend the service life of machinery components ａnd allow for more economical equipment design.  Moreover, the additive system used in these oils has been selected to provide good wear protection, excellent oxidation stability, protection against rust ａnd corrosion even in moist environments ａnd provide good system cleanliness.  The Mobil SHC Cibus Series oils are also compatible with seals ａnd other construction materials used in equipment normally lubricated with mineral oils.

The Mobil SHC Cibus Series oils can be used as hydraulic, gear, bearing ａnd circulating oils in all areas within the food processing plant ａnd can be included as part of a HACCP plan.   The products meet the most rigorous performance requirements of a range of component manufacturers using various multi-metallurgy designs that help allow a single product series to lubricate effectively.  Because they offer productivity ａnd NSF H1 registration benefits, the Mobil SHC Cibus products can be used both above ａnd below the processing line to reduce inventory costs ａnd reduce the risks of non H1 registered lubricants being dispensed in high contamination risk areas.

Through outstanding traction properties, Mobil SHC Cibus Series lubricants have demonstrated the potential to provide significant energy savings — 3.6% in gear applications* ａnd 3.5% in hydraulic applications** — versus conventional oils in statistically validated field ａnd laboratory tests.

*Energy efficiency relates solely to the fluid performance when compared to conventional (mineral) reference oils of the same viscosity grade in circulating ａnd gear applications. The technology used allows up to 3.6% efficiency compared to the reference when tested in a worm gearbox under controlled conditions. Efficiency improvements will vary based on operating conditions ａnd applications.

**Energy efficiency relates solely to the fluid performance when compared to Mobil DTE™ 25. The technology used provides up to 3.5% efficiency compared to the reference when tested in an Eaton 25VMQ vane pump under controlled conditions. Efficiency improvements will vary based on operating conditions ａnd applications.

Features ａnd Benefits

The Mobil SHC brand of lubricants is recognised ａnd appreciated around the world for innovation ａnd outstanding performance.  These molecular designed products based on synthetic materials symbolise the continuing commitment to use advanced technology to provide outstanding lubricant products.  Not least among the benefits is the potential for efficiency improvements compared to mineral oils.  

The Mobil SHC Cibus Series oils offer the following features ａnd potential benefits.

Applications

Handling ａnd Storage Recommendations
It is recommended that Mobil SHC Cibus lubricants should be stored inside ａnd segregated from other non NSF H1 lubricants.  Ideally, they should be stored in a clearly signed, separate, designated inside area.  Drums ａnd pails should not be stacked below or above other non NSF H1 lubricants.  New packaging should be free from damage with an unbroken seal.  Record the delivery date, batch number ａnd expiration date.  Record the date of initial seal breakage ａnd use the contents in time by suitable stock rotation.  Close all package openings after use.  Do not replace unused oil in the container.  Use clearly labeled dedicated equipment for internal transportation.  Label machinery with the name of the correct NSF H1 lubricant where appropriate.

Lubricant Changeover
While the Mobil SHC Cibus Series may be physically compatible with other NSF H1 or non NSF H1 registered mineral oil based products, a mixture may detract from their performance ａnd also from their registration status.  Consequently it is recommended that before changing systems from non H1 lubricants to the Mobil SHC Cibus Series, or even for brand new equipment, the system should be thoroughly cleaned out ａnd flushed to achieve the maximum performance benefits ａnd to comply with H1 registration.

Applications
Mobil SHC Cibus Series lubricants are recommended for use in a wide variety of hydraulic, compressor, gear ａnd bearing applications within food ａnd beverage processing, packaging ａnd pharmaceuticals.  The products are effective in many applications including those where maintenance costs of component replacement, system cleaning ａnd lubricant changes are high.

- Mobil SHC Cibus 32, 46 ａnd 68 are high performance fluids intended for hydraulic, circulating, compressor ａnd vacuum pump applications

- Mobil SHC Cibus 100, 150, 220, 320 ａnd 460 are intended for gear, bearing ａnd circulating systems

A suitable used oil analysis program, such as Mobil Serv Lubricant Analysis from ExxonMobil, can help monitor the concentration of wear metals ａnd provide information on appropriate actions.

Incidental Food Contact Only per FDA 21CFR 178.3570
Mobil SHC Cibus series lubricants are registered to the requirements of NSF H1 for incidental food contact only which means a limitation of 10ppm oil in food product per FDA 21CFR 178.3570.  They are not to be used as direct food contact lubricants.
