GARLOCK KLOZURE® ISO-GARD® BEARING ISOLATORS - FOOD GRADE
Rotating equipment in the food and beverage industry is held to especially high standards. KLOZURE® ISO-GARD® bearing isolators from Garlock are specifically designed for such harsh environments, and are formatted to maintain performance while standing up to harsh chemicals often present in washdown environments. Constructed with FDA-compliant filled PTFE, they have been shown to withstand chemical contact, while being in line with industry standards. The dimensions of these parts can also be adjusted to fit into the specific space necessary inside of the bearing housing. By creating a tight fit, there is positive sealing for both the shaft and bore, to prevent materials from entering the bearing housing.
Garlock KLOZURE® ISO-GARD® Bearing Insolators are Great for the food industry:
Glass filled PTFE construction provides great chemical compatibility, along with the following features:
• Labyrinth technology - Non-contact seals with no wear components for long service life and reduced drag on shaft, reducing power consumption
• Unitized design – Bidirectional sealing designed to both exclude contaminants and retain lubrication
• Fluoroelastomer o-ring fit – Allows easy installation without an arbor press or other tools, while providing a static secondary seal that does not score the shaft
• Metallic and non-metallic design – Different material for compliance with industry standards. API-610, IEEE841, NEMA MG-1, MSHA
• Wide variety of sizes, configurations and customizable – Machined part with no tooling requirement for custom fit
