Klubersynth CH: Food-Grade Synthetic Hydraulic Oil Technical Guide

What is Klüber Klübersynth CH?

Klüber Klübersynth CH is a food-grade synthetic hydraulic oil manufactured by Klüber Lubrication, a Germany-based global specialist in specialty industrial lubricants. It is engineered for Hydraulic systems in food processing and related industrial applications requiring reliable, long-term lubrication performance.

This product belongs to the Klüber Klübersynth CH family, recognized in the industrial lubrication industry for food-grade synthetic hydraulic oil; nsf h1; used in food and pharmaceutical hydraulic systems. The formulation combines polyalphaolefin (pao) as the base oil with n/a (liquid oil) as the thickener system, operating within a temperature range of -30°C to +135°C.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What applications is Klüber Klübersynth CH designed for?

Klüber Klübersynth CH is engineered for Hydraulic systems in food processing. The product is commonly specified in industries including Hydraulic systems in food processing, packaging, pharmaceutical equipment, bottling plant hydraulics, meat processing and related industrial sectors where reliable lubrication is critical.

Q: What temperature range does it operate in?

The operating temperature range is -30°C to +135°C. Always verify the specific temperature requirements for your application against the product datasheet to ensure compatibility.

Q: Is Klüber Klübersynth CH food grade?

Yes, Klüber Klübersynth CH holds NSF H1 certification for incidental food contact, making it suitable for use in food and beverage processing equipment.

Q: Can this product be mixed with other greases?

As a general engineering practice, mixing greases with different thickener types is not recommended. Incompatible thickeners can cause the grease to soften excessively or harden, potentially leading to lubrication failure. If switching from another product, it is best practice to thoroughly purge the old lubricant before applying the new one.

Q: How should this product be stored?

Store in original sealed container at 0°C to 40°C. Protect from moisture, contamination, and direct sunlight. Store in designated food-grade area. The typical shelf life is 48 months from date of manufacture under recommended storage conditions from the date of manufacture under recommended storage conditions.
