High temperature GRAPHALLOY BUSHINGS available from FTL Seals Technology have been extending bearing life and reducing maintenance costs for bakeries across the UK. Capable of maintenance free operation up to 400C GRAPHALLOY can be an answer to operating problems.

The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has accepted GRAPHALLOY for repeat use in food contact equipment in bakery ovens, pumps, mixers and conveyors. GRAPHALLOY is a graphite/metal alloy that survives wash down conditions. Its low coefficient of friction and high strength deliver long life and are not subject to seizures, binding or sudden failure.
