Food Grade Belts

Foods are sourced from around the globe and while multinational and national brands advertise to influence purchasing habits, they are also responsible for making their products safe for consumption. Food grade belts can play a significant role in eliminating risks. Conveyor belting is one of the few plastic items permitted in direct contact with food and they are typically used for hours at a time without cleaning and with possible exposure to dangerous pathogens. Better than any other style of conveyor belt, Food grade thermoplastic belts are the only true monolithic plastic product that promotes improved hygienic conditions lowering bacteria counts resulting in more sanitary food products.

Food and Hygiene

Our Mission

Our mission is to offer hygienic food grade belts as alternatives to conventional fabric (plied) and modular belts. These belts are now seen by pioneering organizations such as EHEDG, as unhygienic as well as inferior in terms of costs of ownership. Used correctly, Volta food grade conveyor belts save both cost of ownership and improve food hygiene.

Solutions

Volta food grade belts are made from solid thermoplastic extrusions; this in contrast with weak, unhygienic PU and PVC belts which incorporate fabric (plied) layers. Volta does offer options with different textures and colours but essentially, belt selection is mainly based on the conveyor construction and its characteristics with product load and temperature factored in. Our solutions and applications are determined by an in-depth understanding of both the requirements of the food grade conveyors and the physical forces needed to optimize the work of a conveyor belt in a processing system, regardless of the specific food product.

SuperDrive™ (SD)

When you are looking for the ideal solution to help you increase your production rate, simplify the process, slash costs and comply with regulations, it’s time for SuperDrive™!

A Positive Drive belt that solves the key mechanical problems of classic flat belts, namely, slipping and off-tracking, SuperDrive™ helps lower running costs for reduced cost of ownership, requires less hot water, provides less chemical exposure, and reduces cleaning time.

As a result, you have more time and money for production. Perfect!

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
