The Factors to Affect the Selection of Food Grade Conveyor Belt

Food conveyor belt is a conveyor belt used to transport food, usually made of materials such as polyurethane (PU) or polyvinyl chloride (PVC). Compared with ordinary conveyor belts, it has higher hygiene standards and requirements. When choosing a food conveyor belt, you need to consider the following factors:

Considering Multiple Food Category

Does the conveyor belt come into direct contact with food? Different foods require different types of conveyor belts. You can use this type of belt to transport candy, pasta, meat, seafood, baked goods, etc. For example, meat requires a more wear-resistant conveyor belt, while baked goods require high-temperature-resistant conveyor belt.

Considering Working Environment

The working environment will also affect the selection of conveyor belts. When choosing a food conveyor belt, humidity, temperature, stickiness, and wear resistance are important factors to consider. For example, humid environments require the selection of conveyor belts that are more water-resistant, while high-temperature environments require the selection of conveyor belts that are more resistant to high temperatures.

Considering Service Life

The service working life of food grade conveyor belts is also an important consideration. When considering the durability of the conveyor belt, we should pay attention to the manufacturer's materials, processing level, and whether to choose the appropriate size. Durable conveyor belts need to be selected to ensure long-term stable operation. Choosing a quality supplier is an important aspect of meeting this point.
