Rethinking food safety SKF Food Line ball bearing units - Blue Range: Proactive food safety For food producers, hygiene and proactive food safety take top priority in asset design. However, bearings can be a potential source of serious food contamination. SKF, with microbiology experts from RISE (Research Institutes of Sweden), have discovered that bacterial contamination can build up inside bearing units during operation, and even during hygienic cleaning. If bacteria can get in, they can also get out! The answer is a hygienically-designed, fully sealed bearing unit. The new SKF Food Line ball bearing units - Blue Range is a relubrication-free solution that supports your proactive food safety processes. Sealed from both sides and filled with allergen- free grease, they allow you to actively reduce food safety risks by combining hygienic design, relubrication-free technology, corrosion resistance and food grade components. Coming from SKF, they also provide outstanding bearing performance!
