Avoid unwanted surprises in your food production

#hygieniceverywhere

Food safety compliance is not just about the critical points in production. Contamination can occur everywhere, including pre- and post-processing. By using SKF Food line ball bearings for non-corrosive environments, you leave nothing to chance.

Every part of your processing plant is important

Our ball bearings are pre-filled with NSF H1 compliant food grade grease permitting incidental food contact. The bearings have sealing technology that minimizes the risk of grease escaping from the bearing and keeps contaminants out. The sealing is made of food grade compounds, and the synthetic blue rubber seal makes it easy to identify fragments in the food stream.
