In the bakery industry there are specific challenges and requirements related to conveyor belts. In order to prevent dough from sticking to the belt, the belts must have excellent release properties. At the same time, small roller diameters, high temperatures, and resistance to all kinds of ingredients are daily challenges that Belting Corporation meets at bakeries around the world.
Belting Corporation offers an extensive product range designed to meet every demand of the bakery industry. The belts comply to EU, FDA and Japan food grade regulations, are highly resistant to oils and fats and can even be made non-adhesive, anti-microbial, hydrolysis- or high temperature resistant and more.
Belts that come into direct contact with (unpacked) food should comply to strict regulations. When intended for use in the food industry, the various types of top cover materials are tested to comply with these regulations. TTesting happens by globally accepted institutes according to FDA, EU and Japan standards.
The TPU, TPO and Fabric based belts used in the bakery industry are designed to ensure excellent oil resistance. This enhances the belt's lifetime and ensures a stable performance.
Thanks to various top cover profiles or materials a good release between belt and product is guarenteed. Especially in the conveying of raw dough this is a common challenge in many bakeries.
A knife edge helps to transfer delicate products carefully and efficiently from one conveyor to another. Due to the very tight radius not all belt types are suitable for this small transfer. YONGLI has specialized fabrics to ensure good long time performance of 1 or 2 ply TPU covered belts that go over a knife edge.
Frequent steam- and water-based cleaning can accelerate the aging of the conveyor belt, especially with standard TPU belts. YONGLI's premium TPUE belts are hydrolysis resistant, suitable for use in warm, wet and humid environments.
Anti-microbial TPU belts effectively reduce bacteria spread, even during the belt’s operation. The anti-microbial components are in line with FDA, EU and Japan food grade directives.
