CORROSION RESISTANT SOLUTIONS FROM

In an environment of increased operational requirements and tough regulatory guidelines, today’s bearings and power transmission products are exposed to a host of demanding conditions. Such conditions may include corrosive cleaning agents, high pressure washdown and a wide array of environmental factors that can negatively impact performance. Overall, a balance of material strength, corrosion resistance, sealing and lubrication are required for all products used where hygiene is of paramount importance.

Due to the pandemic we’ve seen increased attention to cleanliness, washdown procedures and prevention of foreign contaminants from getting into the manufacturing process within fish, food and beverage processing companies. Recently there has been concern over a rise in contamination in meat processing and fruits and vegetables; which has changed procedures in food manufacturing across the board.

The result is that processors have become more aggressive with cleaning. Even though cleaner equipment means a lower risk of contamination, older equipment just isn’t built to handle this aggressive cleaning. As your facility continues to follow government guidelines; using components made from corrosion resistant materials will help extend the life of the product and cut down on nuisance maintenance, even when using some of the newer, harsher cleaning chemicals.

Stainless steel tends to hold up the best, allowing for more pressure, more soap and a little faster cleaning time. Alternative surface treatments such as nickel plating and Aquaproof are also available.

There is tremendous benefit to selecting products that support a reduced maintenance schedule. For example, corrosion resistant high performance bearings can prevent contaminants such as water and dirt from entering the bearing. New equipment is not always an option, so the ability to adapt to the situation with the right components with the best seals can be a game-changer.
