Plastic Bearings for Extremely Cold Environments

Our bearings were used for the ice cream production line. Due to the manufacturing of ice cream in extremely cold environments and the use of cleaning agents during the cleaning process, a transition to plastic was considered. Because of the extremely low temperatures, we recommended the use of PTFE from our side. PTFE is a material that can be used even in extremely low temperatures of up to -268°C. However, it should be noted that dimensional changes occur significantly at temperatures. Therefore, it is important to consider the change in dimensions when used in high or low temperatures. Furthermore, we also offer materials that have been enhanced with fillers to[…..]

Plain Plastic Bearings for Liquid Seasoning Filling Machines

Our plastic bearings are used for the roller parts of conveyor chain belts in liquid seasoning filling machines. Metal parts cause rust when liquid seasoning spills onto them and sticks to the chain. This results in the chain and bearings clumping together, and since replacing the bearings alone is difficult, the entire chain had to be replaced. By switching the chain bearings to plastic, we achieved a longer lifespan. Additionally, it is now possible to easily replace only the plastic rollers, leading to significant cost savings.

Plastic Guide Bearings for the Cleaning and Transportation of Retort Packages

Our plastic bearings have been used in the process of cleaning and drying retort packages. Originally, metal bearings with a plastic coating were used. The production line for retort packages here uses tap water for cleaning and goes through a drying oven process. Due to the use of water, metal bearings face the problem of grease being washed out and rust formation. Furthermore, tap water contains calcium carbonate, so when passing through the drying oven after cleaning while still wet, calcium carbonate adheres inside the bearing, leading to faulty rotation. Therefore, we proposed the use of UHMWPE, which is non-sticky, and designed the shape of the bearings to be easy[…..]

Plastic Bearings for Conveyor Rollers in the Food Cleaning Process (Alcohol Cleaning, etc.)

This is an example of using bearings in the alcohol cleaning of kamaboko, processed fish paste. In this process, stainless steel bearings were used, but the alcohol washed out the internal grease, leading to faulty rotation. By switching to PEEK bearings, the bearings can be used without grease, eliminating concerns about corrosion or deterioration from alcohol.

Pillow Block Bearings for Cleaning with Sodium Hypochlorite

Our pillow block bearings are used in the bearings of the vegetable cleaning equipment. Housing: Stainless steel Bush: UHMWPE (Ultra-high-molecular-weight polyethylene) Sleeve: SUS304 Since the unit is used in a tank with sodium hypochlorite, it would quickly rust if conventional pillow block bearings were used. Therefore, you have opted for our plastic pillow block bearings. These do not require lubrication and there are no worries about rust or corrosion. Depending on the operating conditions, bush materials such as PTFE or phenol may also be better suited. We can make material suggestions based on your operating conditions. Furthermore, the production of bushes with special shapes, such as groove machining in the[…..]

Plastic Axial Bearings for Food Manufacturing (Processing) Equipment

Hygienic because no grease is used. Resistant to disinfectants, cleaning agents, and high temperatures, does not rust or corrode. Plastic bearings for food manufacturing facilities. Plastic axial bearings for food manufacturing (processing) equipment Typically, metal bearings are used in food manufacturing machines, which are protected from direct contact with moisture or steam by seals. Even if the bearings have a sealing structure, moisture can penetrate over time and grease can leak out. With a plastic axial bearing, the need for grease is eliminated, and it is corrosion-resistant. Therefore, there are no concerns about grease or rust getting into the food. It can be used in environments with cleaning solutions (such[…..]

Plastic Deep Groove Ball Bearings for Transporting Inserted Plums

Rust-resistant, corrosion-resistant, ideal for production lines in food manufacturing. Safe for use in food as they are grease-free. Can be cleaned with water. Plastic deep groove ball bearings for transporting inserted plums This is a plastic deep groove ball bearing designed for transporting pickled plums. In the manufacturing process of pickled plums, salt and citric acid are used. Metallic bearings run the risk of corrosion and rust, or the potential for grease to contaminate the food. Plastic bearings, however, do not corrode even in the presence of salt and citric acid. Since no grease is used, it’s an environmentally friendly product that can be safely used for extended periods. Recommended[…..]

Integrated Plastic Bearing Sprocket (Sprocket Wheel)

Stainless, corrosion-resistant gears Integrated Plastic Bearing Sprocket (Sprocket Wheel) We manufacture gears for various applications starting from one piece. No lubrication required, hence safe and worry-free. This is an integrated plastic bearing sprocket (sprocket wheel) that can be used in environments where liquids are present, such as cleaning lines or environments where lubricants are not required. Being made of plastic, it does not rust or corrode. Additionally, it is recommended for production lines, especially in the food industry, as it does not require lubricants. We offer a variety of materials that are corrosion-resistant and can withstand high temperatures. We manufacture products that meet a wide range of requirements, starting from[…..]

Pillow Block for Use in Water Treatment Plants

Currently in use in a stirring device in a water treatment plant. In an aqueous environment, regular pillow blocks tend to allow water ingress and corrode. To address this issue, we have chosen a housing made of stainless steel, a bushing made of UKB522*, and a sleeve made of stainless steel, which we are currently using. (*For detailed information on the material UKB522, please refer to the list of available products under “Plain Bearings” and “Pillow Blocks.”) Pillow Block for Use in Water Treatment Plants Related Pages ・Plain Bearings (Bushings) ・Pillow Blocks (Bearing Units) ・Water/Seawater ・Cleaning Machines ・Food Back to Case studies

Plastic Bearings for Fan Rotation in a Stirring Device

In a tank with a highly acidic atmosphere, we use plastic bearings for the fan bearings. The fan runs continuously to maintain a uniform atmosphere in the tank. However, traditional bearings quickly corrode in such conditions. Therefore, we recommend using plastics with acid resistance and also incorporate balls made from acid-resistant ceramics to ensure the bearings withstand the conditions.
