Proven Performance in High-Temperature Tortilla Ovens and Cooling Conveyors

Food manufacturers operating high-speed tortilla ovens and cooling conveyors face extreme heat, moisture, and constant motion. Conditions that can quickly destroy traditional bearings.

Recent applications in both a European snack facility and a North American equipment manufacturer demonstrate how Graphalloy® self-lubricating bearings perform where standard graphite and roller bearings fail.

By engineering custom-fit solutions capable of operating dry or submerged and handling continuous temperatures above 750°F (400°C), these projects achieved dramatic results:

Up to 80% reduction in bearing failures
Lower maintenance and downtime
Improved productivity and reliability

These case studies showcase the strength of Graphalloy’s high-temperature bearing technology in food production environments that demand both performance and compliance with FDA-acceptable standards.
