2022 July 5th Week VISTA News Recommendation - SKF has developed a new deep-groove ball bearing with food-grade grease that requires no lubrication

A new ball bearing from SKF, with food-grade grease and an integral seal, requires no relubrication – which helps maintain both machine performance and hygiene standards.

SKF has developed a deep-groove ball bearing that is designed specifically for use in the food and beverage industry.

The off-the-shelf bearing, part of SKF’s Food Line series, is pre-filled with food-grade grease and incorporates an integral seal. Together, these new features reduce water ingress – helping to raise bearing performance and maintain high standards of hygiene. The new bearing does not require relubrication, which realises several advantages: reduced maintenance, and greater uptime; less chance of leakage; and lower grease consumption.

A reduction in grease consumption – and grease disposal – can help factories to improve their environmental performance. At the same time, the low-friction seal helps to reduce the energy consumption of the bearing – which offers further savings.

“Until now, there have only been custom-filled bearings for this type of application. As an off-the-shelf product, our new Food Line bearing will be faster – and more cost-effective – to re-order than a bearing that needs to be custom-filled.” says Christian Mertens, Application Specific Offer Manager at SKF.

It is also manufactured to SKF’s Explorer performance class and has a high load-carrying capacity. This helps to maintain rotating equipment performance – and maximise uptime – under the demanding conditions of food production.

The new bearing fully complies with food industry standards. Its high-performance, food grade NSF H1 grease is optimised for use in the food and beverage industry. It is Halal- and Kosher-certified and complies with US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and European Community (EC) recommendations. The food-grade seals are blue in colour, which allows for easier optical detection.

Tapered roller bearings:

Tapered roller bearings are particularly designed to carry combined (radial and axial) loads. They have single,double and four-row tapered roller designs. The single row tapered roller bearings are able to accommodate radial loads and axial loads in one direction only. Under radial loads, axial component force is affected in the bearing which must be counteracted, so the bearings are normally adjusted against a second bearing. Vista tapered roller bearings include metric and inch series single row tapered roller bearing, metric and inch series double row tapered roller bearing, four row tapered roller bearing.
