Belts in the Food Industry
Industrial belts hold special importance in the food industry, as they play a key role in product transfer, packaging, and processing. These belts must comply with international sanitary standards such as FDA or EU to ensure food safety and quality. Selecting the appropriate belts not only increases production line efficiency but also reduces downtime and maintenance costs, providing optimal performance in specific conditions like humidity, grease, or varying temperatures. Ravand Trans Apadana Company plays a significant role in facilitating and optimizing production processes in the country by supplying belts used in the food industry.
Commonly Used Belts in the Food Industry
Polyvinyl Chloride (PVC) Conveyor Belts Applications:
Due to their flexibility, resistance to moisture and chemicals, and cost-effectiveness, these belts are used in food production lines for packaging, product transfer (fruits, vegetables, meat, and dairy products), and washing processes. Importance: Compliance with sanitary standards, easy cleaning, high durability. Examples: Transferring bread, biscuits, meat, fish, frozen vegetables, and packaged products.
Polyurethane (PU) Conveyor Belts Applications:
PU belts have widespread use in dairy production, meat processing, chocolate making, and confectionery due to their resistance to oil, grease, and chemicals. They are suitable for lines with direct food contact. Importance: Food safety, grease resistance, long service life, non-stick surface. Examples: Chocolate production lines, meat and poultry processing, dairy packaging, and dough transfer.
Polyurethane (PU) Timing Belts Applications:
These belts are used in precise food industry machinery such as packaging, filling, and cutting equipment, ideal for synchronized and accurate motion transfer in devices requiring specific timing. Importance: High precision, sanitary compliance, abrasion resistance. Examples: Packaging machines for chips, chocolate, cakes, bottle fillers, and food cutting lines.
