QC: Maintenance-Free Conveyors with Lube-for-Life Bearings
Permanently sealed bearing.
Cincinnati, OH — QC Industries has replaced its standard bearings with Lube-for-Life Bearings that have a permanently applied Micro-Poly Lubricant specially designed to meet the unique needs of their conveyors. With this change, QC Industries' conveyors are now maintenance-free. This new greaseless design eliminates the need to periodically lubricate the bearings.

The permanently sealed design also removes the possibility of grease escaping the bearings and contacting product on the surface of the conveyor. In addition, the bearings are sealed to prevent contamination from debris, significantly extending their life. According to the company, these features result in long-term cost savings through reduced conveyor maintenance.

The Micro-Poly Lubricant is comprised of polymers and oils. The oils retained by this porous structure continually lubricate the bearing surfaces — even those in hard-to-reach places — through capillary action. The precision roller bearings provide an increased surface area which offers greater load capacities and longer bearing life.

All of the Lube-for-Life Bearings are approved by the USDA and FDA for H-1 food processing applications, where there may be incidental contact between food and the bearing. They contain corrosion inhibitors, anti-oxidants and an EP (extreme pressure) additive. The bearings are now standard on the company's 125 Series Belt Conveyors, 125Z Series Angled Frame Conveyors, 250 Series Center/End Drive Conveyors, InnerDrive Conveyors and Flextrac Plastic Chain Conveyors. They are also available in a retrofit kit for existing conveyors.
