Food and Beverage
NSK Bearings for the Food & Beverage Industries
The challenges that bearings have to face are immense and varied: chemical exposure, continuous washdowns, fluctuating temperatures, even contamination.
This is the Condition Challenge.
Apart from having to be highly reliable, maintenance-free and operate at high speeds, bearings for the food processing industry have to comply with the hygiene requirements synomymous with the industry.
To meet these rigorous demands, we have developed a comprehensive range of products specifically for the various processing machinery components, such as washing systems, baking machinery, conveying systems, electric motors and pumps, to name just a few.
Applications requiring hygiene, cleanliness and, consequently, frequent washdowns.
We have a range of bearings specifically conceived with materials, sealing and lubrication to fulfil the requirements of machinery components in such environments.
Our engineers understand that clean application conditions are a necessity on machinery where frequent decontamination is required, or where edible process materials come into contact with bearings. They also understand how frequent washdowns can damage bearings, leading to costly downtime and increasing maintenance needs.

Hot / heat conditions
Applications where bearings are subjected to sustained temperatures up to 260°C.
Bearings in many food and beverage applications or processing machinery have to sustain constant high temperatures, such as more than 90°C for dehydration, up to 160°C for frying and up to 260°C in baking and roasting.
Cold conditions
Applications where bearings are subjected to sustained zero / subzero temperatures.
In addition to their basic function of enabling moving machine elements to perform satisfactorily, bearings in the food and beverage industries often have to perform under a wide range of temperatures.
Nickel Alloy Coated Ball Bearings
Nickel coating on the outer & inner rings to enhance corrosion resistance & durability. >>

Hybrid SPACEA Bearings
Provide an operating life more than five times as long as that of stainles steel in water-immersed environments. >>
Application where hard or soft particles are present in high concentrations; or where bearings come into contact with contaminated water, such as on vegetable conveyors, milling, fruit or vegetable washing, or baking machinery.
The food and beverage process requires that machinery work in dirty, gritty or contaminated water conditions. Ever increasing health and safety legislation means processing companies demanding safer products and cleaner machinery, as well as reduced downtime and maintenance.
Molded-Oil Bearings
Molded-Oil Bearings are lubricated with NSK’s original oil-impregnated material, Molded-Oil, and are suitable for corrosive and dust-contaminated environments. >>
