News on the development of international modular conveyor belts
1. Upgraded Heavy-duty Food-grade Modular Conveyor Belt (Apr 7, 2026)
A new generation of heavy-duty modular conveyor belts for food processing has been launched. The optimized edge structure greatly enhances wear and tear resistance, adapting to high-load and high-friction working conditions. Complying with EU food hygiene regulations, the product effectively lowers damage rates and cuts long-term operating and replacement costs for food manufacturers.
2. New Wide Modular Conveyor System for Food Packaging (Mar 21, 2026)
A newly developed wide modular conveyor system is tailored for automated food packaging lines. It features smooth edges, low noise and a fully cleanable structure with no sanitary dead spaces, meeting strict food safety requirements. The modular design enables flexible layout adjustment and simplifies daily maintenance, improving overall operational safety.
3. Major Progress in Service Life of Modular Conveyor Belts (Feb 26, 2026)
Plastic modular conveyor belts have made remarkable progress in durability. The updated products exceed the traditional standard of 1 million operating cycles, with service life increased by 52% under continuous high-frequency operation. They are ideal for intensive food and beverage production, reducing line downtime and part replacement frequency.
4. Steady Growth of Global Modular Conveyor Belt Market (Mar 11, 2026)
Latest industry data shows the global market size of plastic modular conveyor belts hit 4.87 billion US dollars, and is projected to reach 5.23 billion US dollars for the whole year with an annual growth rate of 7.4%. The food and beverage industry is the largest application field, taking up 32% of the market share. Thanks to good hygiene, flexibility and easy maintenance, modular belts have become mainstream conveying equipment for modern food factories.
5. Sensor-embedded Intelligent Modular Conveyors Gain Popularity (Apr 11, 2026)
Modular conveyor belts integrated with monitoring sensors are gaining fast popularity this year. The system can collect real-time data on running speed, abrasion and equipment status to support remote supervision and predictive maintenance. Its positioning accuracy is improved from ±5mm to ±2mm, well suited for high-precision and stable operation of fully automated food production lines.
