KML Stand-Out Mounted Bearings Offer Next Level Sanitation Protection Against Harmful Bacteria and Other Potential Contaminants in Food & Beverage Applications

KML Bearing USA meets the need for greater sanitation in food and beverage manufacturing with its Stand-Out Mounted Bearings that incorporate a Poly-Guard IP69K Sealing System, offering the highest level of sanitary enclosure in high-moisture applications. As federal agencies such as the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) place a higher emphasis on sanitation methods, especially in the wake of COVID-19, the Stand-Out Mounted Bearings provide outstanding protection against possible contaminations linked to salmonella and E. coli as well as other bacteria and toxins. 

Bacteria thrive in warm and wet environments, such as those found in food and beverage manufacturing. The next-generation design of KML’s Stand-Out Mounted Bearing eliminates edge seams and crevices at bearing mountings that frequently harbor bacteria. Seams also are reduced to self-draining cylindrical posts. In addition, the hygienic bearing design eliminates the need to fabricate and weld clearance spacers to reduce time and money.
