Improve uptime and food safety while reducing costs throughout the plant; meet with Timken experts at IPPE
The Timken Company (NYSE: TKR; www.timken.com), a world leader in engineered bearings and power transmission products through its growing portfolio of brands, has machine components for every area of the food process floor, including a wide selection of corrosion-resistant, greaseless, washdown-resistant and extreme-temperature bearings designed to cope with the conditions that cause many bearings to fail prematurely.
Most processing and packaging equipment for meat and poultry requires bearings that can stand up to severe cleaning and sanitation day after day. That’s why Timken®Corrosion-Resistant Mounted Ball and Poly-Round® bearings are built for predictable performance, optimal reliability and with hygienic design principles in mind.
“All manufacturers know the potential impact of a food contamination, whether foreign parts, lubrication or bacterial outbreak, but less understood is the impact even one faulty bearing can have on operations,” says Michael Connors, vice president of global marketing for Timken. “Timken designs bearings for applications where leakage, flaking and corrosion cannot be tolerated at all. If bearing rust or re-greasing is concerning you, talk to us about options to take those worries away.”

Timken bearings for food and beverage processing equipment typically cost less to own than original bearings due to longer service life and less maintenance. A full portfolio of stainless steel, solid lubricated, polymer and metal-detectable bearings is available, including housed units for meeting different requirements from the beginning to the end of the plant. Among other engineered solutions, customers will find:
