Gear oil and food-grade lubricant are two different lubricants and they should not be used with each other.
First of all, gear oil is a kind of lubricating oil used to lubricate gears, it has a high viscosity and a large viscosity index, which can provide good lubrication and heat dissipation effects, and is suitable for the gear transmission system of various mechanical equipment. And food grade lubricant is a kind of lubricating oil used in food processing equipment, it has a lower viscosity and a smaller viscosity index, and at the same time has high oxidation resistance and corrosion resistance, which can ensure the hygiene and safety of food processing equipment.
Gear oils and food-grade lubricants cannot be used against each other due to their different compositions and usage requirements. If gear oil is used in food-grade lubricating oils, it will affect the normal operation of food processing equipment due to its high viscosity and large viscosity index, and will also affect the hygiene and quality of food. However, if food-grade lubricants are used in gear transmission systems, due to their low viscosity and small viscosity index, they cannot provide sufficient lubrication and heat dissipation, which will lead to wear and damage to the gears.
Therefore, when using lubricating oil, the appropriate type of lubricating oil should be selected according to different equipment and use requirements to ensure the normal operation of the equipment and ensure the hygiene and quality of food.
