Polyvinyl Chloride (PVC) conveyor belts are standard belts in the food industry that can be used for basic applications across food processing and handling.

PVC has grown to become the third most widely produced plastic, known for its durability and ease of use.

A PVC-coated conveyor belt is best suitable for materials handling, bakery production applications, and meat, fish, and dairy processing.

These antistatic belts provide good chemical resistance and are resistant to hot water and steam, as well. Based on specific needs and conveyor belt manufacturers, there are also flame-retardant models available.

With limited abrasion resistance and limited resistance to solvents, oil, and grease, PVC belts are best suited for processing of fruits and vegetables and simpler operations with limited special requirements.

For those unaware of specifications for their food processing, PVC belts are a reliable choice and favorable in price compared to other conveyor belts.

There are a number of specialty PVC food processing belts, each suitable for a specific application or point in the food process. From accurate material selection to unique belt customization, industry-leading belting solutions are available to create a safe and efficient workplace for any line of business.
