Bearing
|
Metal ball bearing in cast iron housing (typically, a 2-bolt flange
housing), but manufacturer will upgrade to EDT bearings on request
|
FAIUD7-1-3/16, FAIUE7-1-7/16, FAIUC7-1, FAIUG7-1-11/16 and other sizes:
FA material Poly-Round® is high temperature, direct food contact
approved. Mates with stainless locking sleeve, install bearing insert into
an existing housing or into any style stainless housing
|
|
Failure
|
Ball bearing does not operate well submerged in hot oil; grease
runs out, congeals, and fryer fines can restrict balls from rolling.
Potential for catastrophic bearing failure.
|
Poly-Round® insert bearing has no rolling elements.
Needs no grease, has no moving parts. FA material is approved
for direct - and continuous - food contact. FA tolerates temperatures
to 500°F.

Length of Service
|
3 to 8 months
|
12 to 18 months (guaranteed application)
|
|
Maintenance Required
|
When tanks are drained, all bearings must be checked.
Cast housings are prone to rust when not submerged; rust,
excess grease, broken bearings can contaminate the cooking oil.
|
- Unaffected by oil - plane bearings operate consistently
from start-up to start-up regardless of downtime
- Optional stainless housing will not rust and contaminate edible oil
