Poly-Round® bearings are plain bearings that are made of high performance bearing-grade polymer materials or specialty metal alloys. The material incorporates lubricity into its composition, allowing the unit to operate as a bearing without any grease (Class III plane bearings). ‘No grease’ eliminates the necessity of seals or shields. Advantages of Poly-Round® bearings include:
- ZERO grease
- Completely non-corrosive
- Sanitary: the only USDA-Accepted bearings available
- Nothing to contaminate process
- Unaffected by washdown or process moisture
- Eliminate seals and shields
- Reliable operation: predictable change-out
- Very low maintenance
- Ideal for HACCP/HARPC programs
