GRAPHALLOY® Bearings From Frequent Failures to Four Years of Reliability in Snack Food Fryers

 In their continuous fryer systems, manufactured by Heat & Control®, this producer faced recurring failures with greased ball bearings. Bearings used on belts and paddles in the fryers experienced extreme conditions:

  • Exposure to 400°F
  • Continuous splashing with hot oil
  • Full submersion in cooking oil for certain locations

Despite regular re-greasing, the bearings on the hold-down belt had to be replaced every 3 to 4 months. Maintenance was costly, and unplanned downtime was disruptive.
