SKF’s dedicated Food Line Range is manufactured from food-grade materials and contain high-quality food-grade lifetime lubrication. SKF oval flanged ball bearing units contain an insert bearing found in the housing that can be used and simply bolted to support the surface. This oval flanged bearing unit is made predominantly from stainless steel and the housing of the unit is made from reinforced polypropylene.

• Designed to be used in harsh and heavy-duty applications, therefore, they are corrosion resistant even when frequently washed down.
• SKF Food Line range bearing units are lubricated for life with a food-grade grease.
• Chemically resistant to contaminants and detergents therefore long-lasting in food and beverage applications.
• Designed with hygienic materials and features to meet food safety standards.
• Bearing unit housing is made from reinforced polypropylene which is hydrophobic making SKF Food Line Range bearings suitable for wet conditions.
• 2 mounting holes for simple mounting and bolting to machine walls or frames.

SKF Food Line Range oval flanged ball bearing unit are designed to be used in the food and beverage industry due to its hygienic and hydrophobic design features. Specific applications of oval flanged ball bearing units include food and beverage systems.

The key difference between oval and square flanged bearing units is how the bearing units are mounted. SKF oval flanged bearing units have 2 bolt mounting holes, whereas square flanged units have 4 bolt mounting holes. The shape of both types of bearings is also different which is apparent by the names of the bearing types.
