IP67 Waterproof Bearing House Units for Ice Cream Machinery
Materials: Engineered for Hygiene and Durability
IP67 waterproof bearing house units are specifically designed to operate in harsh environments where extreme temperatures, high moisture levels, and strict hygiene regulations are common. The choice of materials ensures corrosion resistance, smooth operation, and extended lifespan.
Stainless Steel Construction (AISI 316L / AISI 304)
- Corrosion Resistance: Stainless steel (AISI 316L or AISI 304) is highly resistant to rust, making it ideal for ice cream machinery exposed to frequent washdowns, humidity, and dairy-based ingredients.
- Hygienic Design: The non-porous surface prevents the accumulation of bacteria and residue, ensuring compliance with EHEDG, FDA, and 3A Sanitary Standards.
- High-Temperature & Low-Temperature Tolerance: Performs effectively in extreme freezing conditions (below -20°C) and during hot CIP cleaning processes.
Food-Grade Seals and Gaskets
- Materials: Made from Nitrile Rubber (NBR), Viton (FKM), or PTFE, ensuring tight sealing against moisture and contaminants.
- Water and Dust Protection: IP67-rated seals prevent ingress of dust, ice particles, and cleaning agents, ensuring long-lasting performance in wet conditions.
- Resistance to Dairy Acids & Cleaning Agents: These seals are chemically resistant to dairy by-products (lactose, fatty acids) and aggressive cleaning chemicals used in sanitation processes.
Food-Grade Lubrication
- Non-Toxic and Safe: IP67 waterproof bearing house units use food-grade lubricants, ensuring no contamination risk even in the event of accidental contact with ice cream.
- Extended Lubrication Life: Specialized lubricants remain effective in low-temperature environments (-30°C to -40°C), preventing freezing or solidification.
- Water Washout Resistance: High-performance lubricants reduce the risk of lubricant washout during high-pressure cleaning cycles, ensuring continuous operation without frequent re-lubrication.
Polymer and Composite Housings (Optional)
- PBT (Polybutylene Terephthalate) and Polyamide Housing: Some IP67-rated bearings come with non-metallic, FDA-compliant housings, which provide:
- Superior resistance to cleaning chemicals
- Lightweight design with high impact resistance
- Thermal stability for low and high temperatures
Designed for Extreme Conditions in Ice Cream Processing
IP67 waterproof bearing house units are built to endure the challenging conditions of ice cream manufacturing, where constant exposure to moisture, temperature fluctuations, and cleaning procedures can degrade standard bearings.
Superior Water and Ice Resistance
- Designed to prevent water ingress, even during high-pressure washdowns (up to 100 bar) and immersion in cleaning solutions.
- Ensures no ice buildup inside the bearing, preventing operational failure due to freezing.
High Load Capacity and Shock Absorption
- Ice cream machinery experiences high torque and shock loads, especially in churners, extruders, and filling machines.
- Bearings are engineered with optimized load distribution, reducing stress on the inner and outer raceways, leading to increased lifespan and reliability.
Extreme Low-Temperature Performance
- Suitable for freezing environments with temperatures as low as -40°C.
- Maintains smooth rotation and minimal friction, even in subzero conditions, ensuring consistent ice cream texture and processing speed.
Self-Lubricating and Maintenance-Free Design
- Many IP67 waterproof bearing units incorporate sealed, pre-lubricated designs, minimizing the need for frequent maintenance.
- Extended service intervals reduce downtime and operational costs, improving efficiency in high-output ice cream plants.
Vibration and Noise Reduction
- Designed for silent and stable operation, crucial in high-speed production lines.
- Reduces vibration, preventing unnecessary stress on mixers, conveyors, and filling equipment, enhancing overall machinery performance.
Hygienic Design: Meeting Food Industry Standards
- Smooth, Rounded Surfaces: Eliminates bacterial harborage points, ensuring easy cleanability.
- Crevice-Free Construction: Prevents contamination from dairy residues and prevents microbial growth.
- NSF, 3A, and EHEDG Certifications: Guarantees compliance with strict global hygiene requirements.
