Select the correct stainless grade based on line wash chemistry, ambient halogen exposure, and mechanical load limits.
AISI 304 Austenitic
AISI 316 Marine Grade
AISI 440C Martensitic
Reliable defense against freshwater, mild organic acids, and alkaline detergents. Well-suited for beverage bottling conveyors where chlorine washdown concentrations stay under fifty parts per million.
Formulated with two percent molybdenum to halt chloride pitting and caustic sodium hydroxide degradation. Indispensable for seafood packaging, pharmaceutical CIP cycles, and salt mist lines.
Heat-treated to fifty-eight Rockwell C for maximum dynamic radial capacities. Delivers dependable fatigue life under abrasive debris with moderate resistance to wash solvents.
NSF H1 Solid Polymer Mechanics
High-pressure spray nozzles running at sixty bar routinely purge conventional NLGI greases out past standard rubber contact seals within three sanitization shifts, contaminating food contact surfaces and starving races.
Solid polymer lubricant forms an oil-saturated micro-porous polyolefin matrix cured inside the bearing cavity. The solid compound physically prevents liquid ingress, eliminates re-greasing downtime, and satisfies FDA 21 CFR 178.3570 requirements.
