In 2025, the demands on food and beverage manufacturing equipment are tougher than ever. Stricter hygiene regulations, the widespread adoption of CIP (Clean-in-Place) systems, and high-pressure washdowns mean traditional bearing units often fail faster, causing costly downtime and compliance risks.
The FYH IP69K High Protection Series was designed to change that. Built from premium stainless steel and engineered to meet IP69K standards, these bearing units deliver unmatched resistance to water, dust, and corrosion in the harshest cleaning environments.
What Makes the FYH IP69K Bearing Series Different?
The IP69K rating isn’t just a number — it’s proof that these bearings can withstand close-range, high-temperature, high-pressure water jets without water or dust ingress. This makes them ideal for industries where hygiene, reliability, and durability are non-negotiable.
