Facilities Producing Mobil SHC Cibus Food Grade Lubricants Have Earned ISO 22000 Certifications. Mobil SHC Cibus is the first lubricant range produced in ISO 22000:2005 certified facilities. Certification is one of the most stringent for manufacturers in the food processing sector. Mobil SHC Cibus also offer operators energy efficiency benefits of up to 3 percent
27 Nov 2012 --- ExxonMobil Lubricants & Petroleum Specialties Company, a division of Exxon Mobil Corporation, today announced that it is the first lubricant provider to garner ISO 22000:2005 certification for facilities that manufacture NSF H1-registered lubricants. This accreditation is for facilities that produce ExxonMobil’s popular Mobil SHC Cibus Series of high-performance NSF H1 registered food machinery lubricants.
The ISO 22000 certification is one of the most stringent and comprehensive food and beverage safety standards. Established by the International Organization of Standardization, ISO 22000 is a food safety management system with a set of specified requirements that ensure a company’s ability to control food safety at every step of the manufacturing process.
“ExxonMobil is committed to the highest standards of manufacturing hygiene and safety, and we are proud to again lead our peers in the lubricant industry by becoming the first company to produce in facilities which have achieved ISO 22000 certification,” said Yan Côté, global business development advisor, ExxonMobil Lubricants & Petroleum Specialties Company. “In addition to protecting product integrity during manufacturing, Mobil SHC Cibus lubricants can help companies improve the energy efficiency and productivity of their operations.”
Ideal for a wide range of applications, such as food, beverage and pharmaceutical processing, and animal feed manufacturing, Mobil SHC Cibus lubricants are suitable under Halal and Kosher dietary law and are designed to be gluten-, nut- and wheat-free.
They are formulated to deliver excellent wear and rust protection, long-term oxidation stability and can help food and beverage processors realize valuable sustainability-related benefits.
For instance, in extensive laboratory and field testing, Mobil SHC Cibus demonstrated the ability to deliver energy efficiency savings of up to 3 percent in gear oil applications when compared to conventional, mineral-based oils.
In proprietary rig testing, Mobil SHC Cibus Series synthetic lubricants also demonstrated their ability to last up to two times longer than comparable mineral oils, allowing for extended drain intervals, depending on the severity of the application.
