Frequently Asked Questions

What makes a bearing food-grade?

Food-grade bearings feature FDA-compliant materials, NSF H1 registered lubricants, stainless steel housings (typically 316SS), and sealed designs to prevent contamination. They must comply with 3-A Sanitary Standards where applicable.

How do I select seals for CIP applications?

CIP-compatible seals must withstand caustic cleaners (NaOH), acid sanitizers, and high temperatures (up to 185°F). Materials include EPDM for dairy, Viton for broader chemical resistance, and silicone for high temperatures.
