Metal Detectable Polymer Bearings from EDT Enhance Food Safety

News Release

EDT Corp, the Process Floor Bearing Solution Experts, has introduced the first ever metal detectable Poly-Round^® bearings.  Poly-Round^® bearings are polymer plane bearings that directly interchange with industry standard mounted bearings, and have no balls, no grease, no cage, no seals.  These features make them clean-operating – so much so that they are the only USDA-accepted bearings available.  When made of EDT’s ‘ON’ metal detectable, x-ray detectable and optically detectable blue polymer, food safety of edible products is further enhanced.  

Metal detectable Poly-Round^® bearings are especially beneficial in applications directly over or near food product zones.  The metal detectable characteristics of ‘ON’ polymer aid in the detection and recovery of foreign materials, should a failure occur.  EDT’s metal detectable Poly-Round^® bearings are available in shaft sizes from 1/2” to 1-7/16”, in all styles of machined- or cast- stainless housings.
