Installation of food-grade plastic mesh belt conveyor line

In addition to using stainless steel for the frame, stainless steel food-grade conveyor belts are essential for companies with high food hygiene requirements. For these companies, the conveyor belt must also be made of food-grade PU (polyurethane) belt. PU conveyor belts are widely used in the food industry and in the processing of bulk, canned, and boxed food products such as grains, biscuits, candies, fruits and vegetables, poultry, and meat.

Food-grade plastic mesh belt conveyors feature oil resistance, corrosion resistance, cold resistance, and cut resistance. Polyurethane (PU) conveyor belts use specially treated high-strength synthetic polyurethane fabric as the load-bearing skeleton, with a coating made of polyurethane (PU) resin. They not only possess the high tensile strength, good flexibility, light weight, thinness, and toughness of ordinary conveyor belts, but are also oil-resistant, non-toxic, hygienic, and easy to clean. These conveyor belts fully comply with US FDA hygiene standards, are wear-resistant, and resistant to physical aging, making them a durable conveying product.

The following precautions should be taken when using plastic mesh belts:

1. Avoid material accumulation on the rollers, which can cause poor rotation. Prevent material leakage between the rollers and the belt. Pay attention to the lubrication of moving parts.
2. Avoid overload starting.

Features of Plastic Modular Conveyor Belts

Plastic mesh belts are assembled using belt injection molding and are equipped with drive sprockets. They feature no deviation in transmission and are easier to replace and clean.

The plastic mesh belt drive modules are snapped onto the belt sprockets, and the sprocket grooves are aligned with the corresponding transmission, thus preventing deviation. Plastic modular conveyor belts are…

Easier to replace because they are assembled with matching pins. Damaged parts can be replaced individually, without replacing the entire belt.

I. Cost savings. Plastic modular belts are relatively flat and smooth, and can be directly rinsed with water or cleaned with tools.

A variety of plastic materials are available to meet customer requirements, including food-grade plastics.

High-temperature plastic mesh belts and plastic mesh belts are ideal for conveying products with wear and tension, making them a new type of environmentally friendly technology. Plastic mesh belts, also known as modular plastic mesh belts, are manufactured using advanced foreign technology, injection-molded using molds, and then sewn together.

Based on customer needs.

According to different food production industries’ transportation systems, the following types are used in food production lines: food belt conveyors, food mesh belt conveyors, food roller conveyors, and food plate chain conveyors. Food production lines, due to their large conveying capacity and long conveying distance, can operate continuously and repetitively with high efficiency and a strong sense of rhythm.

In recent years, accelerating the structural adjustment of the food industry, promoting industrial transformation and upgrading, and building a modern food industry system with Chinese characteristics, the industry concentration of the domestic food industry has greatly increased. Enterprises have expanded in scale and increased in production capacity, placing further demands on the production efficiency and automation level of equipment. Therefore, automated food belt conveyor equipment has ushered in greater market opportunities.

So, what conditions must a food belt conveyor meet?

The entire frame of the food processing plastic mesh belt conveyor is made of stainless steel, commonly 304 or 316. Stainless steel does not corrode, pit, rust, or wear, and has corrosion resistance, enhanced strength, is not easily deformed or broken, and is environmentally friendly. It is suitable for use in harsh environments (humid, acidic, alkaline, and other indoor and outdoor environments).
