Choosing the Correct Food & Beverage Bearing Housings for Your Needs

Food processing facilities can expose bearings to high vibration, corrosion, contamination, harsh chemicals, grease washout and heavy, uneven bearing loads. To overcome these conditions special food & beverage bearings are recommended as they will save you downtime and prevent costly maintenance.

Once you have decided to use food & beverage-grade bearings, you will need to determine whether stainless steel or thermoplastic housings best fit your application. To do so, we have outlined a few key considerations in today’s tech tip.
