Richter's SAFEGLIDE PLUS dry-running-optimized bearings matter directly on a CIP cycle, where the pump routinely runs without full liquid coverage between rinse/caustic/acid stages — a standard wet-lubricated bearing isn't built for that duty cycle.
A CIP loop cycles caustic, acid, and peracetic acid through the same pump within a single cleaning run — Richter names all five of those chemistries directly under Food & Beverage, and its SAFEGLIDE PLUS dry-running bearings matter because a CIP cycle doesn't guarantee the pump stays flooded between stages.
