FDA-Compliant Insert Bearings, Guide Rollers, Linear Actuators & Worm Gears for the Beverage Industry
Maintenance-free components for the beverage industry
Wherever beverages are produced, the requirements for machines and systems are strict. Hygiene regulations must be observed, precise changeovers and fast movements must run smoothly, and system components must withstand aggressive cleaning agents. Hygienic, dry-running components from igus are perfect in such applications. They are abrasion-resistant, self-lubricating, easy to clean, resistant to chemicals and corrosion, and have low moisture absorption. These components include plain bearings, insert bearings, ball bearings, linear actuators, gears, and gearboxes.
We can provide custom components via both machining and 3D printing. We offer FDA-compliant materials for both these manufacturing methods, and all of our materials are dry-running and maintenance-free. Custom systems like linear drives can also be configured and ordered through various online tools. These tools provide lifetime calculations based on application data to ensure you know exactly how long your parts will last.
Application Story:
More sustainable beer production made possible with plastic insert bearings
A globally operating brewery used igubal spherical insert bearings in its conveyor belts. Installing a total of more than 400 spherical insert bearings in the conveyor belt saved the customer more than 60% of costs.

Rollers and Ball Bearings for Conveyors
A wide variety of conveyor systems are used to move goods internally. But for roller conveyors, wheel conveyors, roller ball tables, and other transport methods, it is always important to have the right bearing support. iglide plain bearings and xiros ball bearings, guide rollers and ball transfer units require no external lubrication or maintenance and can ensure reliable conveyor system function, even in industries with heavy dirt loads and continuous operation.
Linear Actuators, Gearboxes & Gears for Changeovers & Lane Adjustments
Flexibility, even with small batches and the automation of processes is one of the biggest challenges in the packaging and beverage industry. However, outdated production facilities and high setup costs often stand in the way of these goals. Automating changeovers is one solution to this problem. By converting large parts of a production plant with just one simple step, operating time is optimized, higher throughput is achieved, and setup costs are minimized.
Application Story:
Automated changeover for the beverage and packaging industry
Rivella AG optimized its bottling line with igus®' Apiro modular gearbox systems, reducing adjustments from 48 to two. This cut changeover time by 95%, completing the process in minutes.
