Food and Agriculture Bearing Solutions

​

At Intercontinental Bearing Supply, we understand the demanding environments of the food processing and agricultural industries. Equipment in these sectors requires components that perform reliably under harsh conditions — including exposure to moisture, chemicals, extreme temperatures, and continuous operation.

 

That’s why we offer a range of bearing solutions specifically designed for food service and agricultural applications:

  • Food-Grade Bearing Lubrication: We supply bearings with food-safe lubricants that meet USDA and FDA requirements. For added convenience and longevity, many of our bearing assemblies can be re-lubricated with food-grade grease, helping ensure compliance with safety standards and maximizing equipment life.

  • Corrosion-Resistant Options: Our product line includes stainless steel and thermoplastic bearings designed to withstand frequent washdowns and corrosive environments — common in food processing facilities.

  • Sealed Bearings for Contamination Control: We provide sealed bearing options that help keep out water, dirt, and debris, reducing the risk of contamination and premature wear.

  • Heavy-Duty Bearings for Agriculture: Our bearings for agricultural equipment are engineered to handle high loads, constant vibration, and tough terrain — ideal for tractors, combines, conveyors, and harvesting machinery.

  • Custom Solutions & Support: Our experienced sales team works closely with OEMs, MRO operations, and end users to identify the right bearing solution for each unique need. Whether you're upgrading existing equipment or building new systems, we can help optimize performance and reliability.

 

Applications We Support:

  • Food processing and packaging lines

  • Dairy and beverage equipment

  • Grain handling systems

  • Farm machinery and implements

  • Conveyor and irrigation systems
