Baked goods

Overview

Machines for slicing, packaging, sealing and grouping for transport and handling of food items impose high demands on bearing technology. The focus is on stringent hygiene requirements and increasing expectations of system performance. Absolute freedom from lubrication and maintenance, long service life under continuous operation, chemical resistance and low moisture absorption are just a few examples of the high industry standards.
