Industry standard in safe food production
SKF ’ s innovative Food Line ballbearing units feature a cuttingedge hygienic design that delivers improved reliability , reduced maintenance costs and increased sustainability for the global food and beverage industry .
These bearings offer a solution to companies who are striving towards perfecting their proactive approach to food safety , which extends to a hygienic-design mentality to bearing unit components for foodprocessing equipment .
A prominent rise in food recalls is urging companies to proactively address their food safety practices . While practices such as purchasing hygienically designed ‘ food grade ’ machines are important , focusing on contamination risks at the component level is just as crucial .
Traditional relubrication , frequent wash-downs with abrasive cleaning agents and dry cleaning of bearings can cause corrosion and create hidden means by which contaminants such as airborne droplets , wastewater or contaminated grease can thrive .
SKF ’ s Blue Range has been specially designed to eliminate these food-safety threats and is fully compliant with food safety regulations . Owing to their ingenious hygienic design , these units reduce the risk of bacteria build-up in hard-to-clean areas and minimise the spread of bacteria during cleaning .

High-performance refrigeration oils
A failure to use the correct refrigeration oils can result in leaks , reduced filter lifespan , and increased energy consumption .
Apart from being able to run in a temperature range from minus 45 ° C up to 80 ° C to 100 ° C , these specialised oils must also be compatible with the different types of gases used in refrigeration units .
While standard mineral oils have traditionally been used , the latest trend highlights the increasingly important role of synthetics oils due to their increased lifespan and reduced service intervals , which assists in reducing costs and boosting return on investment .
Depending on the viscosity , the refrigeration oils are recommended for hermetical , semi-hermetical , and open piston compressors and for screw-type and turbo-compressors . Reniso Triton SEZ 68 is a fully synthetic , ester-based refrigeration oil for fluorinated HFC and HFO refrigerants such as R134a , R404A , R507 , R407C , R410A , R1234yf , and R1234ze .
Reniso Triton SEZ 22 is especially suited for deep-freeze systems operating with R23 .
RENISO C 85 is a synthetic refrigeration oil based on special polyolesters with anti-wear additives for use with CO 2 as the refrigerant in
subcritical and transcritical applications .

Containerised bulk air cooler
IWC ’ s range of bulk air coolers ( BACs ) help to keep temperatures at an optimum level , ensuring increased productivity and a healthier , safer work environment .
The latest addition to their range is a containerised BAC ( single and 2 stage ) unit which is ideal for both surface and underground use . The BAC offers air cooling rates of up to 1100kW , making it ideal for smaller capacity installations as well as spot cooling .
These containerised induced draught crossflow BACs are equipped with directly driven axial flow fans , air mixing louvres and are designed to be easily transported to site , making for a simple installation that can be deployed to remote sites and can be relocated if required .
Each bulk air cooler is custom designed to suit requirements and can be constructed of various materials and would typically include , cast in situ concrete , clad steel ( hot dip galvanised or painted ) or clad pultruded fibreglass structures .
Benefits :
• Non-corrosive
• Low maintenance intervals
• Rental or long-term lease options available
