E-Z Kleen

Polymer and stainless steel housed mounted bearings

Housings
Our goal at Dodge is to create the world’s most successful customer. We do that by listening and responding to our customers’ needs. Customers in the food and beverage processing industry told us they needed new and improved products that help make their industry safer – products that help in the fight against contamination from bacteria such as E. coli, salmonella, and staphylococcus aureus. Dodge delivered by expanding our high performance E-Z Kleen line with this new, improved generation of E-Z Kleen engineered polymer housed ball and sleeve bearings and stainless steel housed ball bearings.

Hydro Armor sealing system
For over 125 years, the Dodge brand has been synonymous with the best the industry has to offer. Bearing users in the food and beverage industry recognize that with Dodge they have access to the best selection of the highest quality mounted ball bearings available in the market.
The E-Z Kleen and Ultra Kleen bearings for the food and beverage industry offer an array of features that provide extended life in these challenging conditions. Dodge has the only bearings in the industry to offer a patented triple-lip seal with a rubberized flinger, the Hydro Armor sealing system. These units also include an exclusive ball retainer, the Maxlife cage which helps retain lubrication and prevents washout in wet environments.

Triple-lip seal
• Patented design
• Mechanically retained seal with two contact points on the inner ring and one that rides against flinger surface
• Three points of contact guard against contamination and keep in lubricants • Maximizes sealing with minimal increase in drag compared to a single lip design

Rubberized flinger
• Industry’s first and only patented design
• Molded rubber provides additional protection from contaminants entering the bearing
• Baffle design of the rubber on the external surface of the flinger enhances the removal of liquid as it rotates
• Extended rubber baffle outer diameter increases centrifugal acceleration to discard moisture and contamination away from bearing
• Grease chambers on the internal surface prevent lubricants from exiting the bearing
• Superior design increases service life in dirty environments thus leading to extended uptime

Corrosion-resistant ball bearing inserts
• New Hydro Armor sealing system with stainless triple lip seal and internal rubberized flingeR
• Corrosion-resistant inner and outer ring
• Stainless steel balls and lube fitting
• Stainless steel set screws (SC) and stainless steel capscrew (D-Lok)
• 100% Filled with H1, food grade grease
• Relubricable
• Anti-rotation pin
• Patented Maxlife cage extends grease life
• Offered in inch and metric sizes
• Temperature range -20° to +225 °F

Corrosion resistant coating
The E-Z Kleen ball bearing uses a patented, corrosion resistant coating that is superior to any coated product in the market.
• Hydro Armor sealing system
• Maxlife cage
• Corrosion resistant insert has a patented nickel alloy Teflon™ composite coating
• Offered in set screw (SC), concentric (D-Lok), and adapter mount (Grip Tight) locking mechanisms
• Available in polymer and stainless housings

The E-Z Kleen corrosion resistant (CR) insert out performs other coatings on the market today such as black oxide, zinc and thin dense chrome (TDC).
Tests have shown that the Dodge CR insert exhibited 300% longer bearing life than a typical TDC coated insert. The CR insert load capacity is not de- ated as compared to stainless inserts.
• 24 hour salt fog test results
• E-Z Kleen corrosion resistant insert – no corrosion after testing

Set screw (SC)
• 65° stainless set screws provide superior holding force without compromising the strength of the inner ring
• Stainless anti-rotation pin to prevent insert from rotating in the housing
