Lubrication in the Food Industry - The Key to Long-lasting Bearings and Safe Production

Image
  Bearings used in the food industry must adhere to numerous regulations due to the risk of contamination from greases and lubricants that could inadvertently end up in the food during production. As food production increasingly relies on automated machinery, the potential for contaminants, such as leaking lubricants, becomes a growing concern. Bearing manufacturers take significant measures to produce food-grade bearings that meet stringent government regulations and pass rigorous inspections. Bearings designed for the food industry must withstand harsh environments and demanding machinery operations. While the machinery is running, these bearings must endure extreme high or low temperatures. During washdowns, they need to withstand high-pressure water, ensuring reliable operation under all conditions. The lubricants used in food processing machinery bearings should be food-grade and certified for food production. Sealed bearings are essential depending on the type of product bein...
