Hanover, July 01, 2024 – Outstandingly Food-Safe Timing Belts In the food industry’s hygiene-critical environments, timing belts need to meet exacting demands. Forbo Movement Systems has responded with its new Food Line timing belts. This series meets current FDA and EU/EC regulations and stands apart for its first-class surfaces.
Forbo Movement Systems’ Food Line timing belts are very user friendly. Closed belt edges and a lack of coiling noses prevent exposed tension members from coming into contact with detergents and water. The belts meet superior hygiene standards.
Food Line – New Timing Belt Range for the Food Industry
The Food Line timing belts come in two variants. Firstly, as coated timing belts with diverse coatings on the top face. Secondly, as homogenous timing belts with various patterns on the backs, such as nub tops or longitudinal grooves. Spreading belts, feeder belts for packaging machinery and general food conveying are the coated timing belts’ typical applications. The homogenous belts are suitable for applications such as tying sausages, as take-off belts or in slicers for sausage, cheese, or filets of fish. This variety means there’s a timing belt for any application.
From long-standing experience with customers from the food industry, Forbo Movement Systems realizes that each production process is unique and places different requirements on timing belts. The type of timing belt is crucial to flawless conveying throughout the production line. Which is why the company’s customized support ensures that customers have the timing belt that’s right for their processes. An understanding of customers’ needs allows Forbo to recommend ideal timing belts for production lines and guarantee top performance.
