SKF’s dedicated Food Line Range bearings are made to be used in food and beverage applications as they are manufactured from food-safe materials with high sealing properties to protect the bearing from external factors. Take-up ball bearing units contain an insert bearing that is made from cast iron and a housing made from reinforced polypropylene to ensure high performance in wet conditions. This type of SKF take-up bearing unit is most effective when used on equipment that rotates as the bearing aims to reduce friction.

• Chemically resistant and corrosion-resistant to detergents and contaminants to ensure long-lasting use and bearing protection.
• Strong and lightweight unit design which is suitable for use in rotating equipment.
• Hygienic design features make the take-up units perfectly suited for food and beverage applications.
• Insert bearings are lubricated with food-grade grease and the lubrication is made to last ensuring a relubrication-free solution.
• Gutter seals and a back seal provide high sealing protection from external contamination such as bacteria.

The dedicated Food Line Range is specifically designed to be used within the food and beverage industry on equipment. SKF take-up bearing units are commonly used to adjust conveyor belt tension in food or beverage manufacturing.

SKF take-up bearings are designed to reduce friction in machinery and can aid industrial equipment when it comes to the carrying load of the specific machine during rotational motion.

SKF Food Range Line bearings are designed to have a relubrication-free solution making them ideal for use in food and beverage applications. They do not require any frequent maintenance regarding lubrication.

The SKF Food Line Range of ball bearings and bearing units provide high-performance products that are hygienic and durable. SKF’s Food Line Range is perfect for demanding food and beverage environments and allow you to get the best performance out of your manufacturing equipment such as industrial mixers. SKF’s Food Line Range of bearings and bearing units prevent bacteria growth and corrosion through thorough and frequent washdowns.

Food Line Range bearing units are made from reinforced polypropylene housings which ensures hygiene and safety in wet conditions. This dedicated food range was developed to address the need for hygienic bearings, they do not collect and grow bacteria and can be used safely and efficiently. SKF’s Food Line range addresses environmental concerns regarding contaminants and lubricants as this range of products offer the potential for a relubrication-free solution.
