Most food conveying processes utilize food-grade, easy-clean belt conveyors. These food-grade belts are non-toxic and odorless, comply with food safety standards, and are FDA-certified. To maintain the longevity of these belts during food transportation, what precautions should be taken during operation?
I. Installation and Operation
Direction and Compatibility: Ensure the feeding direction aligns with the conveyor belt’s running direction. Do not mix PU belts of different models or specifications; joints must be bonded using adhesive methods.
Speed Control: The conveyor belt’s operating speed should not exceed 2.5 m/s. For materials with high clumping or abrasive properties, operate at the lowest possible speed.
Startup and Loading: Never start the belt under load to prevent jumping or misalignment. If misalignment occurs, stop the machine for adjustment; do not force operation.
Series Operation: When connecting multiple conveyors in series, start sequentially from the discharge end. Only begin loading after all units are running.
II. Maintenance and Care
Regular Inspection: Periodically inspect the belt supports, idlers, motor, bearing housings, and all connecting bolts. Tighten any loose fasteners immediately upon discovery.
Cleaning and Maintenance: The easy-clean belt can be cleaned using plain water and a soft cloth. No special cleaning agents are required for stubborn stains. Avoid contact with sharp or hard objects to prevent scratches on the belt surface.
III. Selection and Adaptation
Material Properties: Easy-Clean belts primarily utilize TPU as their core material, featuring an optimized formulation based on PU to emphasize easy-cleaning characteristics. Their surface is smooth and non-porous, resistant to common food-grade cleaning agents, and maintains excellent flexibility in low-temperature environments.
Industry Applications: In the food industry, EasyClean belts are suitable for high-efficiency cleaning scenarios such as pastry baking lines, fruit and vegetable washing lines, and snack packaging machines.
Customization Services: Width, height, and thickness can be customized to specifications. Supports additions such as Guide,Cleats, and Sidewall to meet diverse processing requirements.
