Environmental & Food Processing Lubricants & Chemicals

Specialized Products for Specialized Requirements

Not every lubricant belongs in a food processing plant. And not every hydraulic fluid is suited for equipment operating near a waterway.

The requirements may be specialized, but the challenges are familiar.

Equipment needs protection from wear. Grease and other residues need to be removed. And everything needs to keep working under the conditions of the job.

The right products have to address those needs while meeting the requirements of your application.

At Comet Supply, we help businesses find specialized lubricants, cleaning chemicals, and treatment products for applications where conventional industrial products may not be appropriate.

As a distributor of Clarion Lubricants and Spartan Chemical, we offer food-grade lubricants, food processing sanitation products, and environmentally friendly lubricants backed by established manufacturers.

We’ll help you identify products suited to your application and obtain the documentation you need.

Food-Grade Lubricants for Processing & Packaging Equipment

Food-processing equipment needs lubrication just like any other industrial machinery. The difference is that certain applications require products formulated for environments where contact with food is possible.

Through Clarion Lubricants, Comet supplies food grade lubricants for food and beverage processing, packaging machinery, and related operations.

Available product categories include:

  • Food Grade Grease: Keep bearings, chains, and other moving components lubricated, even in applications involving heat, moisture, or heavy loads.

  • Food Grade Hydraulic Oil: Protect hydraulic equipment while meeting the requirements of applications where incidental food contact may occur.

  • Food Grade Gear Oils: Help reduce friction and wear in gearboxes and other enclosed gear systems.

  • Food Grade Oil: High-purity white mineral oils for specialized applications, including those requiring direct food-contact suitability.

  • Synthetic & Specialty Lubricants: Products designed for the particular operating demands of compressors, refrigeration equipment, and other machinery.

Understanding Food-Grade Classifications

Not all food-grade lubricants are intended for the same applications.

Clarion offers products with different NSF registrations, including:

  • NSF H1: Lubricants for machinery where incidental food contact may occur.
  • NSF 3H: Release agents for specified applications involving direct food contact.

Select Clarion lubricants also carry kosher or halal certifications.

From dairies and meat processors to egg producers and packaging facilities, we help customers find products with the right specifications for their applications.

Food Processing Cleaning & Sanitation Products

Keeping production equipment running is one challenge. Keeping it clean is another.

Food production can leave behind some pretty stubborn messes. From grease and protein buildup to mineral deposits, cleaning processing equipment takes the right products and careful attention to sanitation requirements.

Comet supplies Spartan Chemical’s specialized cleaners and sanitizers, complementing our lineup of food-grade lubricants.

Product categories include:

  • Cleaners & Degreasers: Products for removing fats, oils, protein residues, and other difficult soils.

  • Food-Contact Surface Sanitizers: Products registered for specified sanitation applications when used according to their labels.

  • Disinfectants: Products for appropriate equipment and facility sanitation applications.

  • Acid Cleaners & Scale Removers: Products for removing mineral deposits and buildup.

  • Foaming Cleaners: Products designed to cling to surfaces during cleaning.

  • Agricultural Sanitation Products: Specialty products for applications such as egg production.

If you’re looking for a food grade cleaner or food safe cleaner, the important question is how and where the product will be used. Different cleaners and sanitizers have different requirements, and not every product used in a food-processing facility is approved for food contact.

With Clarion and Spartan in our lineup, Comet can help you source both lubricants and sanitation products through one knowledgeable supplier.

Environmentally Friendly Lubricants for Sensitive Applications

Maybe biodegradability is your primary concern. Maybe you’re working under specific environmental requirements. Or maybe you need a lubricant that can handle demanding operating conditions without compromising those considerations.

Comet distributes Clarion Green lubricants for applications where reducing environmental impact is an important consideration.

These products are relevant to bridge construction, marine operations, dredging, underground utility work, agriculture, and other operations near waterways.

Biodegradable Hydraulic Fluids, Gear Oils & Greases

Clarion’s environmental lubricant lineup includes:

  • Biodegradable Hydraulic Fluid: Selected synthetic and bio-based hydraulic oils formulated for environmentally sensitive applications.
  • Environmentally Preferable Hydraulic Oils: Anti-wear oils for applicable industrial equipment.
  • Gear Lubricants: Specialized gear oils for equipment operating in sensitive environments.
  • Greases: Products designed to provide lubrication and equipment protection under demanding conditions.

Different products have different environmental characteristics. A lubricant’s environmental characteristics are important, but so are its ability to protect your equipment and perform under the conditions of the job.

We’ll help you consider both, comparing available formulations and their specifications to find an appropriate solution.

Wastewater Treatments & Specialty Cleaning Products

Comet also distributes Spartan Chemical products for wastewater treatment, drain maintenance, agricultural waste management, and industrial cleaning.

Available product categories include:

  • Drain Treatments: Products for managing organic buildup and odors.
  • Wastewater Treatments: Products for grease interceptors, septic systems, and applicable industrial wastewater operations.
  • Agricultural Waste Treatments: Products for managing organic waste and odors in farming operations.
  • Specialty Industrial Cleaners: Products for removing grease, oil, and other industrial residues.

Comet also offers 142 Solvent for specialized industrial cleaning applications. With its relatively high flash point, it may be worth considering when cleaning performance and solvent waste-management requirements are both important.

Technical Support & Product Documentation

When you’re purchasing products for food-processing equipment or environmentally sensitive applications, you need to know whether they meet your requirements.

Comet helps customers evaluate products and obtain available manufacturer documentation, including:

  • Safety Data Sheets (SDS)
  • Technical and specification sheets
  • NSF registration information
  • Kosher and halal certificates, where applicable
  • Letters of guarantee and ingredient communication statements, where available
  • Environmental performance data and biodegradability specifications

We work with established manufacturers like Clarion and Spartan Chemical, giving you access to their product information and technical resources. And if you’re not sure which product is right for your application, we’ll help you sort through the options.
