Prairie - depending on the actual application, there are several greases which you may want to investigate. One that I have found to be really effective in several of the consulting clients of mine is from JAX Behnke, called Halogard. The impressive thing about this grease is that it not only maintains FG H1 rating, but because of its inherent properties, lowers relubrication intervals, performs extremely well in high wash down applications usually associated with Food accounts, and has a proprietary additive only found in JAX lubricants that knocks down 99.9% of all listeria, e coli, bacteria, yeast, molds (i.e. all the bad bacteria you want to keep out of your process), etc... on contact. If you would like, I can probably find a data sheet for you if it would help - just send me a request with your email and I will forward one.
Hope that helps!

First consider that you might not want a grease at all. Greases are thickened oils, that release the right viscosity oil as needed.
You may well want a thick oil. I supply a 16000 cSt oil to two sugarmills, and a 10000 cSt oil to another. While neither is using Food Grade this year, at least one might move to it next year. an oil that is 16000 cSt at 40C is like honey. with a VI of around 180, these show much better lubrication and lower temperatures than greases.

Hey guys a little more info regarding FG semi fluid lube. The gears Im greasing are in a horizantal position and can only be lubricated
when the machine is stopped(for safety reasons)
Also the machine is in an area that for the most part is wet damp and humid but for 16-18 hrs every 72 hrs the area reach temps of 90c very hot. Any more info you can provide be great.My email is wayne_surik@cargill.com
Thanks

Hi
Try a Castrol Product - MA 936 SF hy or 412 ES

Rocol foodlube universal 0 & 000
as per your requirement.
but for open gears on slow speed you must use
thick oil on fixed relubrication interval bcaz
in this case enviromental contaminants also effects lubrication
