SKF Food line ball bearing units
SKF Food Line ball bearing units have been developed with most of the food safety regulations worldwide – with food grade and corrosion resistant components, using blue materials for optical detectability Each element has been designed to balance high performance and hygienic standards considering EHEDG* guidelines Built from the ground up using food safe components and hygienic surface design, the units are developed to proactively eliminate contaminant traps and to reduce the risk of bacteria and allergen development
SKF Food Line ball bearing units can be supplied as open units or completely sealed units with an end cover and back seal. The patented bearing sealing system and exceptional grease performance contribute to achieving extended bearing life and high reliability. Designed for relubrication-free operations, the units are thus able to reduce maintenance needs and the related grease and labor costs.
The relubrication-free feature and hygienic design contribute to cleaning water savings, as well as reduced disposal of grease absorbents. This supports an overall preventive culture versus a disposal-oriented environmental one.

SKF Food line spherical roller bearings
SKF is the first to introduce a range of spherical roller bearings specifically designed for the food and beverage industry. SKF Food line spherical roller bearings come with food grade seals and food grade grease to enhance food safety. They also provide an average of three times longer service life compared to open bearings, resulting in more efficient production and less maintenance.
Food-safe production in every process
Maintaining a safe food production environment is critical in every process. Despite advancements in machinery and more stringent food safety compliance programs and protocols, recalls continue to rise. The importance of having a safe environment throughout your production cannot be overstated. One key step to enhance food safety and ensure compliance with industry regulations is to replace open bearings with bearings designed specifically for the challenging conditions of the food and beverage industry. By making this change, you are proactively improving food safety as well as protecting brand image. With the addition of spherical roller bearings, SKF Food line practically covers every type of application in any food and beverage processing plant.
