Food safety starts with lubrication.
DropsA offers completely hygienic lubrication systems with food-safe lubricants that reliably avoid contamination - for production processes that meet the highest standards.
Food-safe lubricants
Certified fats and oils specifically for sensitive production environments – NSF, H1, ISO 21469.
Contamination protection
Closed systems and precise dosing prevent lubricants from penetrating food.
Compliant with ISO & HACCP
Our systems meet all food safety requirements according to international standards.
Cleaning & Maintenance
Easy to clean, corrosion resistant and ideal for regular hygiene inspections.
Food safety begins with lubrication. In production environments where product contact is possible, lubricants must be food-grade and systems designed so that contamination of the food is reliably excluded. DropsA offers fully hygienic lubrication solutions with approved H1 media, closed systems and corrosion-resistant components that easily withstand regular cleaning and inspection. Hygiene and function are designed in together, not traded off against each other.
Hygiene and function must come together: lubricants must not reach the product, components must withstand moisture, cleaning agents and temperature changes, and dosing must be precise so that no excess is produced. Open systems, corrodible materials and generous greasing all create contamination risk — which is why the whole design is built around containment and cleanability.
A hygienic layout meters food-grade grease through a closed progressive distributor so the dose stays precise and contained. Air-oil H1 lubrication provides clean, minimal films on tools and packaging, and food-grade lubrication brushes apply oil to chains and gears in a controlled way. Corrosion-resistant components and tidy routing keep the system washdown-proof.
Hygienic systems are designed to survive frequent, intensive cleaning. Routine care focuses on confirming that seals, surfaces and components remain intact and clean through washdowns, refilling with approved media, and checking that dosing stays precise. Because the system is closed and contained, cleaning does not compromise the lubrication, and the lubrication does not compromise hygiene.
A hygienic lubrication system is designed around three principles: containment, so lubricant cannot migrate to the product; cleanability, so every surface survives intensive washdowns; and material compatibility, so cleaning agents and moisture do not corrode the components. In practice this means closed metering, corrosion-resistant materials, smooth and accessible routing, and precise dosing that produces no excess. Food-grade H1 media complete the picture, providing the legally required safety margin where incidental contact cannot be excluded. Designed this way, the lubrication protects both the machinery and the product, and it withstands the daily cleaning cycles that define a food-production environment without losing performance.
Food-grade (H1) media, closed systems, corrosion-resistant components and precise, contained dosing, all designed so contamination of the food is excluded.
Excess lubricant from over-lubrication is a contamination source; precise, contained dosing produces no excess.
Yes. Corrosion-resistant components and closed systems are designed to survive regular, intensive cleaning without compromising the lubrication.
Approved, food-grade H1 oils and greases suitable for environments with possible incidental product contact.
With food-grade lubrication brushes and contained dosing that apply oil in a controlled way, avoiding spray and excess.
