Challenges in wet, humid and contaminating environments
Operating bearings in wet, humid and contaminating environments – and subjecting them to frequent washdowns increases the chances of moisture seeping into the bearing, emulsifying the grease and causing leakage. This can not only lead to bearing failures and downtime, but may also risk food contamination and operator safety if the grease leaks on to the floor.
But it does not have to be like that. Learn from our customers
Solid Oil provides prolonged lubrication to the bearing
Solid Oil bearing lubrication technology
What if there was a way to avoid the typical issues while making sure the bearings used in high-humidity and contaminating applications are optimally suited to perform under such environmental conditions?
Featuring oil-saturated polymer matrix, SKF bearings with Solid Oil technology are relubrication-free and designed to withstand the negative effects brought on by high humidity levels or breathing in the bearings caused by rapid temperature shifts (for example in freezer applications). The Solid Oil matrix contains two to four times more oil than in conventional greased bearings, completely filling the internal space in the bearing, making relubrication unnecessary. Available as NSF H1 food approved variant.
By implementing Solid Oil bearing lubrication technology, you can:
Lower maintenance costs
Reduce planned and
unplanned downtime
Minimize risk of food contamination
from bearing grease
Reduce waste of grease and
clean-up disposal
Improve operator safety
