LUBRICATE BEARINGS WITH FRYER OIL
Fryers present a challenge to many plant managers , with bearings often failing prematurely and high levels of maintenance required . What if we told you that you could use the operating conditions to your advantage ?
SKF bearings with Solid Oil technology are designed to stand up to challenging environments , such as within freezer applications . Available with NSF H1 approved food-grade lubricant , these bearings do not require relubrication throughout their service life . This helps to maximise reliability and reduce costs , whilst ensuring food safety .
CUT WATER USAGE AND ENVIRONMENTAL WASTE
Every plant manager will know how important it is to have food grade components on your production line . Not only are SKF ’ s Food Line bearing units food grade , but they can also reduce your water consumption by 33 % whilst generating zero landfill .
SKF Food Line ball bearing units are completely sealed , lubricated for life , and designed for optimum performance in even the harshest of processing and cleaning environments .
SKF Fryer Bearing Units allow the cooking oil to enter the bearing , acting as an effective lubricant . This enables bearings to run for up to 16,000 hours , eliminating the need to relubricate the bearings after each caustic boil out . You ’ ll benefit from a significant reduction in maintenance , enhanced uptime and increase reliability , whilst your carbon footprint is reduced .
REDUCE THE FOOTPRINT OF HIGH TEMPERATURE GREASED BEARINGS
High temperatures can lead to your bearings failing to achieve their expected service life . Not only will this affect the uptime and productivity of your production line , but it also leads to additional waste and an increased carbon footprint .
SKF high temperature bearings eliminate the need to re-lubricate , in even the highest temperature applications . The fully crowned pure graphite cage allows just enough contact between the balls and cage to create a fine powder which coats the rolling elements to eliminate metal-tometal contact . This enables production lines to minimise their environmental impact whilst reducing maintenance expenditure .
PREVENT CORROSION IN CHALLENGING CONDITIONS
When you ’ re dealing with freezer applications , you ’ ll be trying to counter the effects of high levels of humidity and rapid temperature changes . This can take its toll on even the highest quality of bearings .
CUT YOUR COSTS WHILST PRIORITISING SUSTAINABILITY
Traditional conveyors utilise a huge quantity of water and lubricant every single day during operation . This creates a large amount of wastage , as well as attracting a high cost to the business .
The SKF Dry Lubrication System for Conveyors offers a practical solution which cuts maintenance requirements whilst prioritising sustainability . This fully automated system applies a small amount of SKF Dry Film Lubricant to conveyor chains and guides , keeping the line moving at all times .
Not only does this cut costs and reduce both water and lubricant consumption , but it also helps to improve operator safety , reduce clean-up costs , and optimise productivity .
In today ’ s modern world , every business needs to prioritise sustainability , ensuring environmentally friendly operation at every stage of the production process .
However , at ACORN ®, we understand that it isn ’ t always easy to balance your sustainability goals with other operational targets , such as cost , uptime and food safety .
ACORN ’ s product experts can help you to meet your operational goals , without having to compromise on sustainability . Call to arrange a site visit or discuss your pain points , and we ’ ll find the best solutions that work for your business .
