Description
Product Description
FUCHS CASSIDA FLUID GL 320 is a premium synthetic food-grade gear lubricant specially developed for enclosed gearboxes, worm gears, food processing equipment, beverage machinery, packaging machines, and industrial systems where incidental food contact may occur. Formulated from a carefully selected blend of synthetic base fluids and advanced additive technology, it provides excellent anti-wear protection, superior oxidation stability, high load-carrying capacity, excellent corrosion protection, low-temperature performance, and long service life.
CASSIDA FLUID GL 320 is registered as an NSF H1 lubricant and produced according to food-grade lubricant manufacturing requirements, including NSF ISO 21469 certification, making it suitable for use in food and beverage processing environments where incidental contact with food products is possible.
Features and Benefits
Food Grade Synthetic Technology
Advanced synthetic base fluid technology provides:
- Excellent thermal and oxidation stability
- Long lubricant service life
- Reduced sludge and deposit formation
- Neutral odour and taste
- Reliable performance in food processing environments
Excellent EP & Anti-Wear Performance
The advanced additive system provides excellent protection for:
- Gear teeth
- Bearings
