IP67 Steam- and Waterproof flange bearing units with spherical inserts has unique batch ID number for food safety traceability.

Assigning a unique batch ID number to IP67 steam- and waterproof flange bearing units with spherical inserts is an important practice for ensuring food safety traceability in the food processing industry. Here’s why having a unique batch ID number is significant:

  1. Traceability: A unique batch ID number allows manufacturers, distributors, and users to trace specific batches or lots of bearing units throughout the supply chain. This traceability is vital for several reasons:
    • Recall Management: In the event of a product quality issue or safety concern, having batch-specific traceability makes it easier to identify and recall affected products without disrupting the entire supply chain.
    • Quality Control: Manufacturers can monitor and assess the quality and performance of bearing units from specific batches, helping identify and rectify any potential issues.
    • Compliance: Traceability helps meet regulatory requirements, demonstrating compliance with food safety standards that often mandate traceability for certain product categories.
  2. Food Safety: In the food processing industry, where equipment may come into direct or indirect contact with food products, ensuring product safety is paramount. Traceability allows for quick and targeted responses to any safety concerns, contamination issues, or quality control problems related to the bearing units.
  3. Accountability: A unique batch ID number promotes accountability throughout the supply chain. If any problems are identified, it becomes easier to determine which specific batches may be affected and who is responsible for them.
  4. Quality Assurance: Manufacturers can maintain records related to the production, testing, and quality control of each batch, ensuring consistent product quality and safety.

Overall, the unique batch ID number for IP67 steam- and waterproof flange bearing units with spherical inserts enhances food safety traceability, helping ensure that these critical components are safe for use in food processing applications and meet the necessary quality and safety standards. It provides a robust system for tracking and managing these components throughout their lifecycle in the food industry.

    Understanding Machinery Components & Protection Standards

    347 words

    Industrial machinery requires precision-engineered components that meet exacting standards for durability, safety, and performance. This comprehensive guide explores the essential machinery parts that drive modern manufacturing across food processing, packaging, and chemical industries. Understanding the difference between Pillow Blocks and Flange Mounted Units is crucial for engineers and procurement professionals seeking to optimize equipment longevity. Pillow block bearings, also known as plummer blocks, are self-aligning bearing units that simplify installation and significantly reduce maintenance costs. These versatile components mount on machine frames and support rotating shafts with exceptional precision, ensuring smooth operation in demanding industrial environments. Flange bearing units offer a more compact alternative, featuring integrated flanges that enable direct mounting to flat surfaces without additional hardware. Both designs come in various materials, including stainless steel grades optimized for corrosive environments and food-grade applications where hygiene is paramount. The importance of material selection cannot be overstated in machinery design. 440 Grade Steel and 420 grades offer distinctly different properties suited to specific applications and environmental conditions. The 440 stainless steel variant provides superior hardness and exceptional edge retention, making it ideal for cutting tools and high-wear applications requiring maximum durability. Meanwhile, 420 stainless steel offers better corrosion resistance and is preferred in food processing equipment where chemical exposure is common. Hygienic stainless steel components have become essential in food machinery, meeting EHEDG standards and facilitating rapid equipment cleaning required in modern food production facilities. Understanding ingress protection ratings is equally critical for machinery durability and operational reliability. IP67 rating ensures protection against dust and temporary water immersion, while IP68 rating provides complete dust protection and sustained water immersion capabilities for submerged operations. The IP69K standard represents the highest protection level, specifically designed for high-pressure wash-down environments found in industrial food processing facilities. These ratings define how effectively machinery components withstand environmental challenges and maintain performance. Modern industrial facilities increasingly demand equipment that combines high performance with ease of maintenance and sanitation. The choice between different bearing types depends on operational requirements, environmental conditions, and budget constraints. Proper component selection ensures extended equipment lifespan, reduced downtime, and improved operational efficiency.
