PERFECTLY ADAPTED 

TO ANIMALS AND NATURE 

SAFETY FROM THE SOURCE ONWARDS 

Lubrication solutions for agriculture 

and the production of animal feed 

Clean feed without any mineral oil contamination is the basis for safe 

food. The lubricants in the MOTOREX FOODLINE offer maximum safety 

even during the processing of the valuable raw materials for food production. 

This applies to harvesting as well as to the production of animal feed 

for a wide variety of animal species: farm animals, poultry, fish and pets.

THE BEST FOR MILK 

FOR HIGHEST STANDARDS AND PURE PRODUCTS 

Lubricant solutions for the milk processing industry 

State-of-the-art technology is used to preserve milk and process it to 

cheese, yoghurt, butter or mozzarella. Products for daily use, millions of 

tonnes of which are consumed every year. 

Hygiene has the highest priority. No contamination is tolerated throughout 

the process. For this reason, manufacturers of dairy products use 

MOTOREX FOODLINE food-grade lubricants. A reliable alternative for all 

lubrication points in modern production facilities.

A CLASS OF ITS OWN 

FOR HIGH DEMANDS 

FOR PERFECT CREATIONS TO SUCCEED 

Lubrication solutions for bakery, confectionery 

and convenience food 

From -65 to +300 degrees centigrade. Manufacturers of bakery products 

and convenience food produce quality products under extreme conditions. 

High heat resistance and stability of the lubricants are crucial. 

Lubricants are subject to continuous testing and analysis by the MOTOREX 

research department to ensure their suitability for the most demanding 

applications. The specialists thus ensure that our food grade lubricants 

perform at the highest level. The result: safe and reliable production and 

manufacturing processes. At all times and in all processes.

PRESERVE 

TASTE AND FRESHNESS 

BY ENSURING OPTIMUM USE OF OPERATING MATERIALS 

Lubrication solutions for the meat 

and poultry industry 

It takes a lot of experts to make a juicy steak or a tender chicken breast. 

Not only skilled manual work, but also reliable machines for processing are 

required. Packaging in a protective atmosphere guarantees freshness and 

taste. MOTOREX food grade lubricants help to meet the high quality and 

safety requirements for processing and packaging. 

At the same time, the lubricants contribute to the viability of a company. 

FOODLINE lubrication solutions ensure smooth and effective production 

processes, which extends the service life of equipment and reduces costs.

QUALITY PROCESSES 

FROM ITS ORIGIN TO THE FILLING PLANT 

Lubrication solutions for breweries 

and the beverage industry 

Whenever precision is essential. When every minute and every degree 

counts. Manufacturers depend on machines that operate reliably and 

securely. The choice of the right lubricant is therefore crucial. 

The manufacturing of beverages and related products places the highest 

demands on the lubricants used. Brewing, mixing, preserving, bottling – 

the MOTOREX FOODLINE products ensure that every manufacturing 

process is clean and sustainable.

TOP QUALITY IN ALL 

SHAPES AND SIZES 

SAFE PACKAGING PRODUCTION AND FILLING 

Lubrication solutions for the production 

and use of primary packaging 

Products manufactured with the greatest care need a clean and protective 

casing when transferred from production to the consumer. Whether bottles, 

tubes, cans or blisters – products can be wrapped in many different ways. 

In addition to the wide range of options for selecting the right packaging 

material, hygiene regulations and high food standards must be taken into 

account. 

The products are in direct contact with the primary packaging. Therefore, 

the choice of the most suitable lubricant for the production of packaging 

and the subsequent packaging process is of utmost importance. Despite all 

precautions, unforeseen contamination with lubricant can occur. The consistent 

use of food processing lubricants helps minimise risks and also prevents 

serious and costly repercussions. In addition, the appropriate lubricants 

ensure high durability of equipment and improve cost efficiency. 

MOTOREX FOODLINE products are food grade lubricants designed for packaging 

and filling lines for food and beverages, cosmetics, pharmaceutical 

products as well as medical devices and appliances for medical technology. 

On the other hand, FOODLINE lubricants ensure maximum safety in the 

lubrication and maintenance of systems manufacturing packaging of all kinds. 

High quality FOODLINE lubricants 

meet the highest demands: 

I PET blower (PET bottle production) 

I Thermoforming machines (plastic trays) 

I Vacuum pumps 

I Die-cutting and printing machines for primary packaging 

I Can sealer (cans for preserves/beverages) 

I Bottling plants (drinks, milk, yoghurt etc.) 

I Packaging lines for cosmetics and pharmaceutical products

TOTAL RELIANCE 

HIGHEST SAFETY REQUIREMENTS 

Approvals guarantee best quality 

Producers of food and feed are under obligation to undertake all necessary 

measures to prevent any risks for the consumer. This includes the limitation 

of any contamination with mineral oil, which can be detected by increasingly 

sensitive analysis. If a contamination is detected, the manufacturer is susceptible 

to have to destroy the goods entailing an extensive loss of reputation. 

Over 40 years ago, various categories of operating aids had already been 

defined which, among other things, regulate the use of lubricants with a 

possible but not intended contact with food (H1) or as separating agents for 

direct food contact (3H). Today, such food processing lubricants are registered 

by independent authorities such as NSF International or 2Probity and 

are recognised worldwide. 

All MOTOREX FOODLINE lubricants are registered with 2Probity and/or NSF 

International in the appropriate categories. They are manufactured according 

to ISO 21469. This ISO standard specifies hygiene requirements for manufacturing 

and handling of lubricants.
