Kilian Custom Precision Bearing Assemblies for Poultry Processing Equipment

A leading poultry and food processing equipment manufacturer needed a stainless steel bearing assembly for use on its line of chicken vicera harvesters. The machines removes various internal organs from chicken carcasses as they rotate on an overhead-driven carousel. Multiple bearing assemblies, positioned over each of the carcass stations allow the carousel to rotate smoothly.

Kilian engineers designed a custom stainless steel ball bearing assembly to meet the tough washdown application requirements. The units feature a 303 stainless steel shielded housing containing precision stainless steel ball bearings sealed to protect against bacteria and withstand harsh washdowns. An integral stud was added to allow for easy installation.
