Taking the heat: grease-free bearings in baking

Subjecting bearings to high temperatures and high levels of humidity increases maintenance requirements and costs. Also, limitations of available grease technology do not permit an increase of oven temperature that would allow faster throughput – without additional planned downtime that might offset the benefits. However, a new breed of grease-free bearings thrives in these punishing conditions – and boosts throughput.Industrial ovens run around the clock, only pausing for maintenanc
