<p style="text-align: center;"><img src="/ueditor/php/upload/image/20221028/1666935700342619.png" title="1666935700342619.png" alt="3.png"/></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;">With the demand for food products growing on a global scale, companies in the food packaging and processing industry are constantly looking for equipment that can match this demand by increasing efficiency whilst saving on expenditure and production time. Amongst the many ways to improve the overall efficiency of food production, perhaps the most important is to maintain high levels of sanitation. Maintaining the highest level of sanitation can prevent many common issues associated with unhygienic practices which can result in time and fiscal losses to your business.</span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;"><br/></span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;">Types of<a href="https://www.bearing-asia.com/products/catalogue.html" target="_blank" style="color: rgb(0, 112, 192); text-decoration: underline;"><span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; color: rgb(0, 112, 192);"><strong>Bearing</strong></span></a> Houses<br/>Bearing houses&nbsp;are an essential part of any food production line, with stainless steel being the most common material used in bearing houses within the food industry. Common styles of these include:</span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;">?&nbsp;Washdown bearings</span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;">?&nbsp;Thermoplastic and stainless housings</span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;">?&nbsp;Unmounted bearings</span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;">?&nbsp;Specialty bearings</span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;">Proper lubrication is essential to the correct functioning of thisequipment and to prevent damage or food contamination. However, traditional bearing houses can also pose a high risk of contamination hazards and food safety. These bearing houses can also take valuable time for maintenance and repairs.</span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;"><br/></span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;">Common Issues with Traditional Bearing Houses</span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;">While the food industry has a high reliance on bearing houses to maintain regular productions, there are a range of issues that can occur with traditional bearing houses.</span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;"><br/></span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;">These include:</span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;">?&nbsp;Overheating – this commonly occurs with extreme temperatures and incorrect lubrication.</span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;">?&nbsp;Incorrect handling and storage – when dust, rust and damp occur because of incorrect storage and premature exposure to environmental factors.</span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;">?&nbsp;Material corrosion – improper casings, lubrication and acid may cause corrosion to ball bearings.</span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;">?&nbsp;Overloading – extreme wearing and fatigue can result when too much product is loaded on to the production line.</span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;">&nbsp;</span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;">NGI’s&nbsp;Hygienic&nbsp;Solution&nbsp;with Bearing Houses<br/>Luckily there are new options on the market where you canavoid the issues stated above.
