Bearing unit for poultry deboning |
||
Background
-
The lifetime of the existing bearing unit used for transporting the poultry carcasses is shortened by the highly corrosive environment and washdown high loads.
-
The existing sealing design of the bearing unit are not effective and results in the maximum bearing lifetime not being reached.
-
Downtime costs and frequent bearing replacement means high costs and a short bearing lifetime.
-
The grease used in the application must be food compatible and compliant with food industry standards.
JESA Innovation
- An integrated special double sealing design was produced.
- Special seal material, resistant to the corrosive environment was selected.
- Internal bearing geometry was optimised to provide the highest load capacity without changing the external bearing dimensions.
JESA Solution
- Fitting of the double sealing arrangement, including a “flinger” design prevented any ingress of corrosive substances to the bearing grease.
- The proven special seal material offered maximum lifetime.
- The high loads needed to support the dynamic application was matched by the use of an optimised ball and raceway design.
- Food compatible grease, and the correct volume for the application speed and load was delivered.
Customer Benefits
- Maximum lifetime bearing design means less downtime and lost production with connected higher costs.
- A significant reduction in maintenance costs because of the less frequent replacement of the bearing units.
- Any risk of grease loss from the bearing onto the poultry is minimized, and due to food compatibility, contaminations risks are small.
