What Are the Standards and Requirements for Food-Grade Bearings?
Food-grade bearings must meet strict standards to ensure safety in food equipment. They are typically made from stainless steel or ceramics, produced in clean environments, and lubricated with NSF H1-approved greases. Additional requirements include FDA or EU compliance, corrosion resistance, sealed protection against contaminants, and the ability to withstand extreme temperatures. These measures prevent contamination risks, ensure reliability, and help food equipment manufacturers maintain compliance with global food safety regulations.
