SKF Food Line ball bearing units – Blue Range
Product introduction
The blue range units have been developed for compliance with food safety regulations
– with food grade and corrosion resistant components, using blue materials for optical

detectability Each element has been designed to balance the highest performance
and superior hygienic standards considering EHEDG guidelines *

Built from the ground up using foodsafe components and hygienic The relubrication-free feature and hygienic design contribute to
surface design, the units are developed to proactively eliminate con- cleaning water savings, as well as a reduced disposal of grease
taminant traps and to reduce the spread of bacteria and allergens absorbents This supports an overall preventive versus disposal A
oriented environmental culture
The blue range units can be supplied as open units, or completely
sealed units with end cover and back seal

The patented bearing sealing system and exceptional grease perfor-
mance contribute to achieving extended bearing life and high reliabil-
ity Designed for relubrication-free operations, the units are thus
able to reduce maintenance needs and its related grease and labour
costs

* EHEDG – European hygienic engineering design group – is a forum for food
processing equipment manufacturers, users and legislators to discuss issues
concerning hygienic design and to stimulate food safety and quality.
