Food contact conveyor belts

The cover rubber compound is especially conceived for conveying fruits, vegetables, poultry, meats, fish, grains, nuts, candles, cereals, bread, tea, pharmaceuticals, etc. It has also good abrasion and weather resistance. Food contact conveyor belts are used in a wide range of fields such as sugar refineries, grain industries, canning factories, chocolate factories and bakeries.

Food contact conveyor belts are manufactured to meet the norms for the transport of food (international standards for transport of food). The carcass is made of polyamide / polyester (EP), polyester / polyester(EE) , polyamide / polyamide (PP) fabrics.
