The food and beverage industry has some of the harshest environments in which bearings must operate and also must adhere to strict safety regulations, because they come in contact with edible products. Food-grade bearings face challenges like extreme temperatures, wet environments, and contact from sanitation chemicals; all of which can lead to degradation of bearings and their accessories. The most widely used bearings in food and beverage are stainless steel ball bearings, mounted block bearings and hybrid ball bearings.

Stark bearing can help select the right food and beverage bearing to ensure system longevity and reliability.
