SKF solutions for food industry

Producers of maintenance products are required to prove that they apply preventive measures to ensure food safety. This is regulated by the FSMA Safety Act. Food-grade products are required to have an adequate seal, a safe lubricant, and a corrosion-resistant bearing assembly.

Key features for food safety and corrosion resistance: Bearings are factory filled with SKF GFJ food grade grease, which is NSF classified as H1. Nitrile rubber seals are tinted blue for better visual detection, conforming to FDA and EC recommendations. The bearing rings, the rolling elements and the cage are made of stainless steel. The seal reinforcement plate is made of stainless steel.

SKF meets all food-grade requirements for food contact. In addition, current generation SKF bearing units are food-grade and do not require relubrication.

Moreover, SKF is raising the bar to proactively support food safety. SKF supplies food safe bearing units, fully sealed (Blue Line), lubricated for life and designed to increase the performance of your bearings in even the harshest processing and cleaning environments.
