We all trust that the food and beverages we consume are safe and of high quality. In truth, most people rarely think about food safety – and that’s because of you. As key players in the industry, you ensure that food safety is always a priority. You are the quiet champions, safeguarding the well-being of billions around the globe.
But even champions need strong partners – and we’re here to support you. Meet a true ally in our Food Line portfolio: our hygienically designed ball bearing units.
Hygienic Design – Vital for Food Safety
Hygienic design plays a crucial role in preventing product recalls and meeting regulatory requirements.
SKF Food Line ball bearing units
are meticulously engineered, from each component to the entire system, to enhance cleanliness during washdowns, safeguard your products, and ensure regulatory compliance.
SKF Food Line Ball Bearing Units
From Food Grade to Food Safe
Food grade typically refers to products with food-grade seals, lubricants, and corrosion-resistant bearing units.
SKF’s latest generation of bearing units already meet these standards and are relubrication-free.
Now, we are taking it a step further by introducing food-safe bearing units.
These units are fully sealed, lubricated for life, and designed to deliver enhanced performance, even in the most demanding processing and cleaning conditions, ensuring proactive food safety.
The hygienic geometry (1)
of the housings reduces the possibility of contaminant traps.
The insert bearing made of food grade rubber is over-moulded with the composite housing to form an effective base seal (2)
against the mounting frame.
The back seal prevents (3)
contaminants from entering the bearing cavity by sealing statically against the housing and dynamically against the shaft.
The end cover (4)
forms an effective interference seal with the housing and incorporates positive locking to prevent dislodging.
