The challenges of frying environments
Traditional bearings in the fryer’s paddle position must be relubricated frequently to keep them reliable. However, the bearing seals inside can quickly degrade, being subjected to continuous waves of 180°C (365°F) cooking oil and frequent caustic boil-outs. In case where this leads to bearing failure, production can come to a halt for a minimum of 48-hours, contaminated food must be discarded, and the overall costs may be very high.
But, there is another way. See what our customers did

What if you could use the hot cooking oil inside the fryer to extend the life of the bearings?
Innovative SKF fryer bearing technology allows high-temperature cooking oil to enter the bearing and act as a lubricant, eliminating the need for lubricating grease, while protecting the bearing against corrosion.
By implementing SKF's high temperature graphite technology, you can:
Decreased costs of maintenance
and bearing replacements
Increased reliability - reducing unplanned
stops due to bearing failure
Relubrication-free operation supporting
proactive food safety programs
