Bearings and chains for the food industry
At MR Accesorios Industriales, we supply components for the food industry: stainless steel deep groove ball bearings, Y-bearing housings with insert bearings, roller chains, radial shaft seals (oil seals), and lubrication suitable for incidental contact. We support plants that operate with frequent washdowns and hygiene requirements, with more than 80 years of experience in industrial distribution and in-house manufacturing of pulleys (sheaves), ANSI roller chains, and split plummer block housings.
What the food industry uses
Packaging lines, conveyor belts, mixers, and frequent washdown equipment impose severe conditions: permanent humidity, cleaning agents, variable temperatures, and continuous production cycles. Components must resist corrosion and maintain lubricant integrity. Hygiene is a process requirement, so the selection of bearings, chains, and seals aims to minimize accumulation points and facilitate cleaning without compromising service life.
For conveyor and transporter shafts, Y-bearing housings with insert bearings and Y-bearings (insert bearings) are used, which simplify mounting and replacement. In direct washdown areas, stainless steel deep groove ball bearings offer corrosion resistance. Roller chains transmit motion in packaging and mixing machines. Radial shaft seals (oil seals) retain lubricant and block the entry of water or particles. Grease and lubrication suitable for incidental contact completes the assembly.
The selection criterion starts with the type of exposure: direct washdown, splash, or humid environment. Stainless materials and effective sealing are prioritized. During mounting, alignment and cleanliness of seats must be ensured to avoid stresses. Lubrication must be compatible with the seal elastomer and the operating conditions. We recommend recording operating conditions and periodically checking for leaks, noise, and temperature to anticipate failures.
We provide quotes by part number or by application: if you tell us the equipment, washdown area, and operating conditions, we guide the selection. Our technical team advises on alternatives within the catalog. We ship throughout the country. We manufacture split plummer block housings, ANSI roller chains, and pulleys (sheaves). To move forward, message us on WhatsApp and we will respond with a proposal tailored to your needs.

Frequently asked questions
Which bearings are best for a belt that receives frequent washdown?
For frequent washdown, we recommend stainless steel deep groove ball bearings and Y-bearing housings with insert bearings. The latter simplify mounting and replacement. The final choice depends on the type of exposure and operating conditions. Request a quote via WhatsApp indicating the application.
Do you have lubricants suitable for incidental contact in food plants?
Yes, we offer grease and lubrication suitable for incidental contact. It is important to verify compatibility with the seal and operating conditions. Our technical team can advise you based on the equipment and washdown area. Contact us on WhatsApp.
How do I request a quote for components for my packaging line?
You can request a quote by part number or by application. If you tell us what equipment you have, the washdown conditions, and the type of motion, we guide you within the catalog. Message us on WhatsApp and we will send you a proposal. We ship throughout the country.
