Advanced Plain Bearings and Coatings Solution for Food & Beverage Applications

The food and beverage industry is evolving due to shifting consumer demands, regulatory requirements, and sustainability goals. Engineers must design components that comply with FDA, NSF, and EU regulations while ensuring durability, cost efficiency, and environmental responsibility. Equipment must withstand chemicals, moisture, and aggressive cleaning agents, making corrosion-resistant materials essential to improving lifespan and reducing downtime.

Hygiene and efficiency are critical in large-scale food processing, requiring smooth, non-stick, and easy-to-clean surfaces. GGB collaborates with OEMs to develop innovative bearing and coating solutions that enhance reliability, safety, and performance.

The GGB Advantage

Reduced Maintenance & Cost Savings

GGB plain bearings are often self-lubricating, which eliminates the need for regular lubrication, reducing maintenance requirements and associated downtime. Less frequent maintenance and replacements translate into more uptime and higher productivity in food and beverage production lines. Reduced need for lubrication and maintenance decreases labor and material costs over time.
 

Decreased Unplanned Downtime 

The high wear resistance and long lifespan of GGB bearings and coatings offer durable performance.
 

High Load Capacity and Durability

GGB’s high-performance bearings and coatings are designed to manage heavy loads and high-speed operations, ensuring reliable performance in demanding environments.
 

Chemical-Resistant Coatings

GGB offers polymer coatings solutions that can withstand aggressive cleaning agents and prevent corrosion.
 

Temperature-Resistant Bearings

GGB’s plain bearings and coatings are engineered to perform reliably across a wide range of temperatures, from sub-zero storage to high-temperature cooking processes.
 

Environmental Benefits

Reduced lubricant use through self-lubricating bearings and coatings reduces the need for additional lubricants, leading to less environmental waste, food contamination, and a smaller ecological footprint.
 

Sustainable Operations  

Long-lasting components mean fewer replacements and less waste, contributing to more sustainable manufacturing practices.
