High Temperature Bearings for Bakery Applications

GRAPHALLOY® Bushings' high temperature, self-lubricating capabilities increase bearing life and reduce maintenance costs

HIGH TEMPERATURE GRAPHALLOY® BUSHINGS have been the choice of oven manufacturers for many years. GRAPHALLOY® BUSHINGS have been extending bearing life and reducing maintenance costs for BAKERIES throughout the country. Capable of maintenance free operation up to 400°C, GRAPHALLOY® may be the answer to your most difficult operating problems!

The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has accepted GRAPHALLOY® for "repeat use in food contact equipment" in bakery ovens, pumps, mixers and conveyors.

Ovens and conveyors undergo high heat and continuous operation that challenges critical components' life and durability. Self lubricating GRAPHALLOY® bushings and bearings perform in temperature extremes (-250° C to 400° C) where conventional materials fail.

GRAPHALLOY®, a graphite/metal alloy, prevents unnecessary downtime and lost production. It also survives wash down conditions common in many food applications. With its low coefficient of friction and high strength, GRAPHALLOY® bearings deliver long life and are not subject to seizures, binding or sudden failure.

Our Application Engineers are here to help with even the toughest problems. Give them a call at 00 44 (0) 1132 521061 or fill out the enquiry form.

GRAPHALLOY® BEARINGS GAIN FDA ACCEPTANCE

Chips, cake, cookies, ham, yoghurt, pizza, pretzels and a full plate of bearings! What's the connection? The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has accepted GRAPHALLOY®, a proprietary graphite/metal alloy, for "repeat use in food contact equipment" in baking ovens, pumps, mixers and conveyors.

Ovens and conveyors undergo high heat and continuous operation that challenges critical components' life and durability. . Self-lubricating GRAPHALLOY® bushings and bearings perform in temperature extremes -250° C to 400° C where conventional materials often fail. GRAPHALLOY® prevents unnecessary downtime and lost production. With its low coefficient of friction and high strength, GRAPHALLOY® bearings deliver long life and are not subject to seizures, binding or sudden failure.

Especially important, GRAPHALLOY® contains no oil or grease and can be immersed in liquids without causing contamination in food production or packaging. Plus, GRAPHALLOY® easily withstands high pressure steam cleaning operations and keeps on working.

Now with FDA acceptance, GRAPHALLOY® is the key ingredient for minimal maintenance and uninterrupted production - today and tomorrow. It's easy. Contact FTL Technology for engineering assistance and responsive service.
