Throughout the world, Timken brands are synonymous with quality and reliability. Timken is an industry leader in designing and manufacturing high-performance, engineered bearings for the most challenging applications, including Food & Beverage Conveyors and Bulk Conveying.
In an environment where food safety is of utmost concern, bearings must operate without corrosion and withstand harsh chemical wash-downs – all without sacrificing productivity. Conveyors are used in nearly every step of food and beverage operations, including preprocessing, thermal processing, and packaging. Timken® corrosion-resistant ball bearings and hygienic-design mounted bearings can be used in every step.
Our solutions include:
Manufacturers in the food and beverage industry can trust our housed units to extend bearing life, improve production uptime, and – most importantly – help ensure food safety.

The bearings used in bulk material handling conveyors are expected to reliably move tons of rock, minerals, or aggregate – in any weather. With the high loads and low speeds of bulk conveyor systems, bulk conveyor applications call for mounted bearings that are engineered to stand up to high loads, physical impact, and extreme contamination.
With improved internal geometries and the use of premium materials, Timken offers a broad line of mounted bearings designed with high load ratings in mind – resulting in longer bearing life. These durable mounted bearings are available in a variety of bearing types and mounting styles, including:
In harsh outdoor environments, dirt, dust, gravel, and water present a constant threat of contamination – negatively affecting bearing life. Timken mounted bearings feature an unrivaled multi-point sealing solution to help you keep grease in and contamination out.
Using triple-lip internal and external seals, combined with a full range of bearing end covers, our high-performance sealing solution improves grease retention while reducing contamination ingress. Compared to the leading competitor’s seal, Timken’s triple-barrier seals result in seven times less water and 40% less mud/salt slurry contamination ingress – leading to a 47% longer bearing life.
Timken also offers cast steel housings across its line of mounted bearings designed for use in bulk conveyors. Compared to traditional cast iron housings, cast steel can withstand significant impacts and shock loading without cracking or breaking. When combined with other enhancements like case-carburized rollers and inner rings, Timken mounted bearings can help improve your operations ‒ enabling you to avoid costly bearing damage and unexpected downtime.
