Bearings for Manure Conveyor Systems (Chain Conveyors)

Bearings used in manure conveyor systems are exposed to highly demanding operating conditions. These environments combine moisture, dirt, chemical exposure from animal waste, and continuous mechanical load. Selecting the right bearings is essential to ensure smooth operation, reduce downtime, and extend equipment lifespan.

Where These Bearings Are Used

Manure conveyor systems—often chain-driven or auger-driven—are used in livestock farms, dairy barns, poultry facilities, and other agricultural operations. Bearings in these systems are typically installed in:

• Chain conveyor shafts
• Scraper conveyors for manure removal
• Sprocket assemblies and tension units
• Auger shafts and drive ends
• Support rollers and idler housings

Key Bearing Types for Manure Conveyors

The most common bearing types used in these harsh environments include:

• Insert bearings (UC, UCP, UCF, UCFL) – Designed for easy mounting and reliable performance.
• Spherical roller bearings – Suitable for high-load and misalignment conditions.
• Deep groove ball bearings – For smaller conveyor mechanisms and auxiliary shafts.
• Stainless steel bearings – For wet, corrosive, or chemically aggressive environments.
• Sealed and double-sealed bearings (2RS, 2RSH, RSR) – Critical for preventing contamination.

Why the Right Bearing Matters

Choosing the correct bearing specification can prevent failures caused by corrosion, lack of lubrication, or excessive dirt ingress. High-quality bearings help ensure:

• Reduced maintenance requirements
• Longer equipment lifetime
• Reliable year-round operation
• Lower downtime and repair costs
