QC Industries has replaced its standard bearings with lube-for-life versions featuring a permanent, micro-poly lubricant designed to meet the needs of its conveyors. According to the company¡¯s press release, the design eliminates the need to periodically lubricate the bearings and prevents grease from escaping and contacting product on the surface of the conveyor.
The micro-poly lubricant consists of polymers and oils that continue to lubricate the bearing surfaces. The lube-for-life bearings, approved by both the USDA and FDA for H-1 food processing applications, contain corrosion inhibitors, antioxidants and an EP additive. Applications include packaging, automation, medical products, assembly, material handling, manufacturing and clean rooms.
