+1(267) 606 1002Belt conveyor with cleats for transporting dried fruit in the food industry: a solution that complies with FDA standards
In the food industry, product conveying must meet strict requirements for hygiene, food safety, and efficiency. Transporting dried fruits from a mixer to a big bag filler requires an adapted system, guaranteeing gentle conveying while respecting FDA standards. The cleated belt conveyor is an ideal solution to meet these needs.
Food Industry Constraints
The food industry imposes rigorous rules to avoid any contamination of food products. Conveyors must therefore meet several criteria:
- FDA-compliant materials: the blue polyurethane (PU) conveyor belt, food-certified, ensures compatibility with food products and ease of cleaning.
- Hygienic design: 304L stainless steel frame and bearings to withstand frequent washing and prevent cross-contamination.
- Gentle conveying: H50 cleats with a 100 mm pitch to prevent breakage and preserve the integrity of the dried fruits.
- Ease of maintenance: adjustable belt tension, removable parts, and casters for easy movement.
Customer Context: An Organic Product Packaging Workshop
A workshop specializing in the packaging of organic food products such as cereals, legumes, and dried fruits needs reliable solutions for conveying and elevating its raw materials to the filling stations.
Equipped with high-performance machinery (mixer, vertical bagging machine, multihead weigher, volumetric weigher), this food sector player relies on a belt conveyor with cleats to ensure continuous flow and preserve the quality of organic products.
