New Bearings Make Conveyors Maintenance-Free

Cincinnati, OH -- QC Industries has replaced their standard bearings with Lube-for-Life Bearings featuring 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 and 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. 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 QC Industries’ 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.

Lube-for-Life Bearings are now standard on QC Industries’ 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.

QC Industries conveyors can be adapted to virtually any application, including packaging, automation, medical product and device manufacturing, assembly, material handling, manufacturing, clean rooms, and more.

Privately held QC Industries is based in a state-of-the-art 55,000 square foot facility located in Cincinnati, Ohio and is proud to be a lean manufacturer that has been a leading manufacturer of low profile conveyors since 1981.
