SKF Solutions for Food & Beverages Industry

Industry trends to move towards food grade, detectable and corrosion resistant components have been the underlying driver in developing the new product range. With the new FSMA (food safety modernization act), manufacturers are requested to prove preventive measures for ensuring food safety.  

SKF Food Line ssDGBB reduces the risk and consequences of food line contamination whilst improving bearing service life.

Key features to provide food safety and corrosion resistance

• Prelubrication with SKF GFJ food grade grease, registered by NSF as H1
• Nitrile rubber seal material is coloured blue for optical detectability and is compliant with FDA 
• Stainless steel for inner ring, outer ring, rolling elements and cage
• Stainless steel backing plate for the sea

Applications:

SSDGBB is an ideal solution for virtually all applications in F&B processes where corrosion can cause downtime or food safety is at risk.

Stainless steel DGBB - relieable solutions for corrosive enviroments

To prevent bacterial growth, machinery is often exposed to frequent washdowns with caustic antibacterial cleansing agents, that can drastically increase the risk of corroding standard bearings, leading to costly unplanned stops. Manufactured from stainless steel, the SKF deep groove ball bearings offer high corrosion resistance for virtually all food and beverage environments. Compliance to food safety requirements makes the new SKF Food Line stainless steel deep groove ball bearings an ideal solution for virtually all applications in food and beverage processes.

Eliminate the need to re-grease

SKF high temperature bearings incorporate a fully crowned pure graphite cage that permits just enough contact between the ball and cage to create a fine powder. This powder coats the rolling elements of the bearing, eliminating metal-to-metal contact – and the need for continued relubrication.

Because the graphite can withstand extreme heat – and needs the oven’s inherent humidity to function properly – you can trust they’ll perform optimally and relubrication-free in temperatures up to 350°C.

General purpose food grade grease

SKF LGFP 2 is a clean, non-toxic bearing grease, which is based on medical white oil using an aluminium complex soap

Features & benefits

• High resistance to water
• Excellent grease life
• Excellent corrosion resistance
• An essentially neutral pH value 
• NSF H1 registered, Halal and Kosher certified

Typical applications

• Bakery equipment
• Food processing equipment
• Multi-pack cassette bearings
• Wrapping machines

SKF System 24

• SKF SYSTEM 24 lubricators are suitable for a variety of applications but often are used on pumps, electric motors, fans, blowers, conveyors and chains. They can be adjusted to ensure that the correct quantity of lubricant is delivered to the lubrication point during a predetermined period of time. This provides a more accurate control of the amount of lubricant supplied, when compared to traditional manual lubrication techniques.

Ultra Sonic product 

SKF offers its TKRT range of tachometers, which use laser or contact measurement to determine the rotational and linear speed of rotating equipment.
Each handheld device is compact in design, and offers fast, accurate measurement. The laser sensor allows measurements to be made at a safe distance from rotating machinery. Each device is supplied with contact adaptors and uses standard or rechargeable batteries.
Output information is clearly displayed on a large, easy-to-read screen.

TKRT 31

• Advanced digital tachometer
• Large colour-backlit TFT display
• Measures linear and rotational speed, and distances
• Includes full set of contact adaptors
• Large angular range simplifies measurement, where straightline access is difficult
