Soap factories are switching to food grade belts for conveying to avoid any chance of the raw materials acquiring contamination. Volta was asked to change three incline conveyors where powder was adhering to conventional belts. There is no possibility of a wet wash down due to the nature of the product and the dense Volta material can be cleaned adequately with a dry wipe down to prevent any build- up of soap residue.
