Improved Product Quality with FDR-DD-V1 Belts

Improved Product Quality - FDR-DD-V1

Company:

Snacks

Application:

Conveyor with 2”pitch flat top plastic modular belt handling popcorn products.

Challenge:

The customer experienced build up of product on the underside of the belt, requiring the belt to be removed frequently to be washed. Potential for product to get trapped under the fixed side guards and then transferred into the packaged goods. Occasional product spill as the flights on the modular belt struggled to contain the product.

Retrofit Snacks industry Modular belt

Solution:

Volta FDR-DD-V1

with baseless sidewalls and special bent flights. The retrofit involved replacing the drive and tail sprockets with Volta sprockets.

Result:

Reduced Cleaning Costs:

Product build up on belt underside is greatly reduced allowing the belt to be cleaned in place between product changeovers saving approximately 14 hours labor each week.

Improved Product Quality:

Better product containment within the baseless sidewalls and special bent flights. Baseless sidewalls mean there is no longer potential for product to get trapped under the fixed conveyor side guards and improving overall product quality.

Dough Pump Conveyors

Dough pump conveyors are used to process raw dough in large-scale production bakeries.

These conveyors elevate dough at a sharp incline and commonly use plied belts with bottom guides. Due to uneven loads, bakery belts often suffer from off-tracking, and slippage, which can cause fraying, tearing and the need for belt tension, leading to belt failure. A retrofit to
SuperDrive™ solves all of that, making raw dough production… as easy as pie.

Narrow Transfers

Bakery lines often incorporate small pulley diameters and static ‘knife edge’ nose bars. When selecting the right belt for your business, make sure to measure the diameter/radius and, to note the wrapping angle.

Our bakery conveyor belts are specifically tailored for biscuit and pizza base cutting lines, helping make dough production simple and efficient.

Cutting Lines

Our TPE bakery conveyor belts are highly resistant to cuts and abrasion.

They are also easily repaired in the event of mechanical damage, making them robust, cost-effective, and literally, the best thing since sliced bread.
