Emerson Bearing Boston offers Food Processors “Super” Bearings for Severe Service Environments

emerson bearingPremature bearing failure in equipment is a significant issue for seafood, meat and other food processors. Emerson Bearing Boston, a bearing company catering to Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEM) and Maintenance, Repair and Operations (MRO) markets around the world, has announced the availability of Stand-Off Series Mounted Bearing Units, “super” bearings that can handle severe service environments, particularly those applications that are a challenge to the survival of the bearing.

Severe service environments in the food processing industry are those that have conditions which contribute to the premature failure of the bearing, such as chemical, submerged or wash-down environments, vibrating or impact environments and those with high or low temperatures. For example, an environment processing food that goes into fryers. The bearing goes into the hot oil with the chicken nuggets or fish cakes.

Survival of the Fittest…Bearing

Emerson Bearing now offers corrosion resistant Stand-Off Series Mounted Bearing Units. With food processing requiring frequent wash downs of machinery often leading to premature bearing failure, these field-retrofittable integrated bearing stand-offs perform the task to a higher level, and allow users and inspectors full access to the space between the bearing and the frame. In this whole new approach, it eliminates any area between the bearing and housing where dirt and bacteria may accumulate, thereby enabling OEMs and users to better meet stringent sanitation standards for cleaning and inspection. Plastic caps for these bearings are also available through Emerson.

Food processing that involves fryers, another severe environment, requires bearings that can endure extremely high heat and withstand submersion in hot oil. Emerson Bearing also carries a special Fryer Bearing, which is a flange bearing unit that has a C4 fit which allows for thermal expansion.

“If wash down or chemicals cause premature bearing failure, or if food safety and contamination is an issue even though USDA and other programs are in place, these new sanitary bearings are ideal,” explained Steve Katz, president of Emerson Bearing. “Other factors, such as changing a bearing more than once a year or greasing a bearing at least once a week, are also indicative of the need for these ‘super’ bearings for severe service environments.”

Emerson Bearing Boston Forms New Division as Plastics Processing Heats Up

EB_logo2C_tagline_5in

Due to increased demand nationwide, Emerson Bearing Boston, a supplier of bearings and related products catering to Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEM) and Maintenance, Repair and Operations (MRO) markets around the world, has created a special division to cater to the plastic processing and forming industry. 

In the U.S., the plastics industry is the third largest manufacturing industry and there are more than 16,200 plastics facilities, according to SPI, the plastics industry trade association. Emerson Bearing’s growing plastics clientele spans the nation and includes manufacturers of plastic wine corks, plastic bags, plastic strapping and other products.

Emerson Bearing’s industry specialist, Bill Zylicz, leads the dedicated plastics division. The company caters to plastic processing and forming manufacturers across the U.S. in two major categories – extruder and injection molding machines. In an extruder, the processed plastic is pressed through a nozzle into a profiled die. The extruder gearbox is subject to high torques as well as high radial and axial loads. Injection molding machines are used for the production of parts in large quantities. The screw feed and the linear bearings must be insensitive to heat and vibration and have high basic static and dynamic load ratings.

When it comes to supplying bearings to the plastic processing and forming industry, ensuring that the bearings are able to withstand heat and vibration is just part of the equation. Zylicz assists clients in determining which bearing technologies would be most suitable by taking into consideration the specifications, recommendations, maintenance strategies, fatigue life and wear resistance of bearings in relation to the application. 

“In order to keep with production schedules, regular monitoring, maintenance and replacement of bearings is critical,” said Steve Katz, president of Emerson Bearing. “Manufacturers turn to us for our expertise, competitive pricing and overall reliability. We offer a vast inventory and 24/7 service, which helps them avoid costly down-time.”
