The Best Conveyor Belt For Food Industry To Packaging Industry

Food and Beverage industry (F&B) uses food grade belt conveyor. This is because direct contact between the conveyor material and F&B products that are being transferred. This requires the material of belt conveyor to be sterile so products can be safely consumed.

There are 2 types of belt that can be use for F&B industry, they are PU and PVC food grade belt. Here’s why:

This food grade PU belt is less likely to worn out compared to PVC belt. Besides, PU belts are stronger when collided with other objects. That is why PU belts are more durable compared to PVC.

PVC belts are offered cheaper than what PU belts offers. This belt’s mixture can be made so antistatic, dust or debris particles will not stick to the belt.

Pharmaceutical industries requires special handling for its material and its products. Not only hygene within production processes, easeness of product handling within this industry play huge role in maintaining productivity.

This conveyor is commonly used to move materials for F&B, cosmetics to pharmaceuticals which requires hygene on its processes and equipments within production line. These conveyors are much more dynamic compared to PVC or PU belt conveyor for food grade necessities. Moreover, its slippery surface makes it easies to process product transfers.

Packaging industries needs conveyor that fits the products and have long lifetime. The use of proper belt conveyor increase processes efficiency and maintains packaging quality produced.

If the products being moved are less than 1kg in weight, then PVC belt can be used to move the products within packaging industry. Moreover belt conveyors are highly compatible to move heap loads of products. Its angle can also be adjusted to what your production line needs.

Automotive sparepart industries requires heat-resistant conveyor that less likely to get damaged when in contact with oil.

Mesh belts are designed to allow air flow and also to prevent residual liquid from products to stick on the belt. Mesh belts are also heat-resistant up to 200 degrees Celcius. This is why a mesh belt conveyors are highly compatible for automotive industries.

Every type of conveyor’s belt have their own unique characteristics and usage. Its pivotal to clearly understand each one of them to maintain products’ quality when transferring. Did you know besides belt conveyor, a lot of industries also using roller conveyor within their industry for a different needs?
