Fruit $ Vegetable Processing

Fruit & Vegetable Processing

JAX first began developing products for vegetable canners in the upper Midwest over 40 years ago. With the help and cooperation of our customer partners, JAX has developed the world's most sophisticated line of lubes for this industry. We provide the widest selection of machinery-specific lubrication solutions for all fruit and vegetable processing plants. The ranges of products provided include synthetic and high-performance NSF H1 food-grade greases and lubricating oils for applications as diverse as apple peelers to apricot pitters, or bean snippers to beet cutters, or can closers to continuous cookers, or... you get the idea... JAX has it covered from Almonds to Zucchinis!

JAX Lubricants for fruit and vegetable processing are anything but conventional. They are formulated to handle both high speed-high temp machinery conditions, and the inevitable water and product contamination which can be so hard on parts.

JAX Poly-Guard FG and JAX Halo-Guard FG greases provide levels of antiwear protection superior to conventional food-grade greases. These are the first, true 'Plant-Wide' food-grade greases.
JAX Poly-Guard FG grease contains Micronox®
JAX extensive line of synthetic air compressor oils dramatically extends compressor life and drain intervals. The high temperature, long life characteristics of JAX Syncomp-D, Syncomp-P and Syncomp-FG fluids meet or exceed all OEM requirements.
JAX Magna-Plate 78 and Angel-Guard Synthetic Seamer Oils are the food-grade standards for exceptional antiwear performance in Angelus Seamer applications.
JAX Magna-Plate 2000, 2000-FG and 2100 (Zinc -free) Cooker Oils for trouble-free operation on FMC continuous cookers and steam peelers.

Specialty Lubes

Magna-Plate 2000
Continuous Cookers
High-viscosity cooker oil with polymer tac additive, emulsifying agent, and a high percentage of antiwear additives. Specially compounded for FMC continuous cookers and steam peelers with Manzel lubricators. Excellent in Micro Valve applications.

Magna-Plate 2100
Continuous Cookers - Non-Zinc, High Performance
The next generation of cooker oils. Magna-Plate 2100 is a high temperature, non-zinc FMC approved rotary cooker oil. Benefits include greatly reduced wear and corrosion deposits on bronze packing strips.

Magna-Plate 2000FG
USDA/NSF H1
Cookers & Peelers
USDA H1 food-grade Lubricating Oil. For use in the FMC continuous cooker and FMC & Odenberg steam peelers. Eliminates rubbery deposits, clogged lines and gummed check valves. A special polymer helps Magna-Plate 2000FG cling to metal surfaces even after shutdown, reducing metal-to-metal contact on start-up.

UnitranFG
USDA/NSF H1
Hydrostatic Transmission Fluid
This is a new generation, food-grade, premium hydraulic transmission fluid that meets service requirements for farm and industrial tractor powertrain fluid. It is compatible with all of the known brands of universal tractor fluid. JAX now provides a high performance, food-grade fluid for use in harvesting equipment operating in product sensitive areas where contamination from industrial fluids cannot be tolerated. JAX Unitran-FG provides excellent performance regarding wear, chatter, brake capacity, PTO performance and filterability.

Compressor Oils

Syncomp-FG Series Fluids - ISO Grades 32, 46, 68, 100, 150
USDA/NSF H1
100% Synthetic
These unique fluids are designed to lubricate flooded screw compressors, vacuum pumps, refrigerant compressors, and other mineral oil lubricated air compressors. They exhibit excellent low- and high-temperature characteristics, reduced volatility, and good compatibility with mineral oils.

CryoGuard Plus Fluids - ISO Grades 32, 68
These are state-of-the-art premium paraffinic refrigeration compressor fluids with excellent low-temperature properties. They are specifically compounded for use in ammonia refrigerant compressors. JAX CryoGuard Plus fluids also exhibit exceptional stability at high temperatures, provide extended equipment life and are compatible with the seals found in refrigeration systems.

Gear Box Oils

Magna-Plate 220FG, 320FG, 460FG, Cylinder Oil-FG
USDA/NSF H1
PARTIAL SYNTHETIC
These gear oils are white oil-partial synthetic based with sheer-stable synthetic V.I. improvers. As a result, you will be able to use these in gear box applications previously thought to be too severe for food-grade lubricants. The superior operating characteristics provide reduced operating temperatures, reduced friction, and minimal gear wear. Their extremely high film strength offers excellent lubricity for spur, helical, spiral, bevel, planetary, and worm gears.

Magna-Plate 85W140-FG, 250-FG
USDA/NSF H1
100% SYNTHETIC - PAG
These are unique, food-grade synthetic gear oils that have many advantages over food-grade, mineral-based gear oils. The base fluid is very stable to heat, and the pour points make them useful at low operating temperatures. They can be used in a wide variety of severe applications where mineral base oils are not practical or effective. Drain intervals can be increased several times, and they also provide measurable energy saving benefits.

Hydraulic Oils

Magna-Plate 60, 62, 64, 66
USDA/NSF H1
America's Finest Food-Grade Hydraulic Fluids can be used in a variety of applications where a USDA/NSF H1 fluid is required. They are white mineral base oils containing rust and oxidation additives, and excellent antiwear protection. They are fully tested and OEM approved for industrial hydraulic systems, and recommended for compressors and gear systems requiring food-grade oils.

FGH-AW Fluids - ISO Grades 32, 46, 68, 100TC
USDA/NSF H1
Food-grade hydraulic fluids containing a combination of antiwear and rust and oxidation inhibitor agents. For use in food plant hydraulic applications where food-grade, NSF H1 antiwear hydraulic oils are required.

Greases

Poly-Guard FG-2, FG-LT
Unsurpassed Anti-Wear
USDA/NSF H1
This is a food-grade lubricant that provides performance levels higher than anything the industry has ever seen before. It has a new advanced technology thickener, greatly enhanced rust protection, and the highest level of antiwear performance available.
Other features include excellent pumpability, separation control, and easier clean-up. Now contains Micronox®.

Halo-Guard FG-2
Extreme High Temp - Corrosion Control
USDA/NSF H1
The latest, high performance, high temperature, food machinery grease offered by JAX. Extreme Pressure (E.P.) performance at industrial grease levels, and its remarkable corrosion inhibition properties make Halo-Guard FG the newest star for all grease lubricated applications subject to high acid products in modern fruit and vegetable processing plants.
