SKF’s 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. 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 is made from stainless steel with a reinforced polypropylene housing.

• SKF Food Line Range flange bearing units have high sealing properties to protect the bearing from contamination.
• 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-safe grease, a relubrication-free solution.
• Chemically resistant to contaminants and detergents therefore long-lasting in food and beverage applications.
• Stainless steel bearing and reinforced polypropylene housing features to meet food safety standards.
• 2 bolt mounting holes for easy installation and mounting to machine walls or frames.
