Grease-Free Insert Bearings: Maximizing Efficiency in The Beverage Industry

April 28, 2025
Relubrication is one of the biggest sources of lost productivity and profits in bottling operations, wasting thousands of hours of labor and tens of thousands of dollars per year. However, there are ways to eliminate these losses quickly and easily.

In most conveyor systems in the beverage industry, greased bearings are used to keep machines running smoothly. However, adequate lubrication of these bearings requires hundreds, if not thousands, of hours of labor a year. Read this application story to see how both this labor and lubrication costs can be completely eliminated by making the switch to grease-free spherical insert bearings.
