Food Processing
Hydrotex provides a complete line of NSF-registered, ISO 21469-certified food grade lubricants designed to improve equipment reliability, reduce downtime, and maintain compliance across all areas of food and beverage processing. Our lubricants perform under high temperatures, heavy loads, frequent washdowns, and continuous operating conditions – ensuring safe and efficient production for mixers, conveyors, seamers, ovens, packaging lines, hydraulic systems, and more.
Our portfolio includes food grade oils, hydraulic fluids, gear lubricants, process oils, and a full range of greases, giving facilities a complete lubrication system for every application.
The Ultra-Kleen family – featuring SP synthetic oils, XPL high-performance hydraulic and gear lubricants, and a full range of food grade greases; provides plant-wide protection built for heavy loads, high temperatures, and demanding food processing environments.
Hydrotex’s Ultra-Kleen XPL lubricants provide outstanding wear protection and long lubricant life.
The Low Viscosity (ISO 22 & 32) and Medium Viscosity (ISO 46, 68 & 100) oils deliver high viscosity index performance, excellent oxidation resistance, and reliable protection for hydraulic systems, air compressors, and food processing/packaging equipment.
For gearboxes, circulating systems, and compressors, the Ultra-Kleen SP synthetic oils (ISO 15 through 680) offer high VI stability, long drain intervals, and superior cleanliness ratings; ideal for heavy-duty and high-temperature operations.
Hydrotex also provides a complete lineup of food grade greases for bearings, conveyors, mixers, canning lines, and equipment exposed to moisture and washdown.
- Ultra-Kleen 557 delivers excellent wear protection and water resistance using TK-5 polymers for high tack and long-lasting adhesion.
- Ultra-Kleen 553 Kleer is a clear, high-load grease designed for heavily loaded bearings, seamers, rotary cookers, and dough-processing equipment.
- Ultra-Kleen 555 is our tackiest grease – engineered for equipment that endures daily washdowns and moisture exposure.
- Ultra-Kleen 550 is a versatile, general-purpose white grease for packaging lines, conveyors, and case erectors.
- Ultra-Kleen 540 provides extreme pressure performance, exceptional corrosion resistance, and stability against water, brine, acids, and alkaline materials; ideal for the most demanding processing environments.
Our Majestic Food Grade Process Oils; including Hydro-Kleer 818, Process Oil 813, Seamer Oil 817, and Cooker Oil 801, support direct food contact needs, seamer lubrication, and cooker/sterilizer applications.
They provide clean, stable lubrication with excellent resistance to sludge, varnish, environmental contaminants, and oxidation.
Across all these products, Hydrotex delivers dependable food grade lubrication that reduces operating costs, improves reliability, and ensures safe, compliant performance in every stage of food production.
