Antimicrobial conveyor belts

In focusing on hygiene in the food processing industry, we offer a wide range of AntiMicrobial belting, retaining the well known properties of the regular Food Grade belts. Our AntiMicrobial belting range uses non-migrating materials – a technology based on silver ions. The belt is proven safe for human contact and effective against a broad spectrum of micro-organisms.

A non-migrating technology based on silver ions. The AntiMicrobial covers are free of taint, meet top Food Grade standard requirements and there is no migration of additives. All the migration tests are in line with the requirements of FDA. AntiMicrobial belts are suitable for contact with aqueous, acidic and fatty foodstuffs according to the requirements of EC 1935/2004 directive

The AntiMicrobial belting range – provided with closed belt edges – will help to keep the belt cleaner and reduce build-up of bacteria on the belt surface. Of course, maintaining and improving of cleaning procedures still remains essential.

AntiMicrobial conveyor belts will assist in:

  • Reducing/bringing down the counts from bacterial growth on the belt
  • Implementing HACCP programs
  • Enhancing hygiene
  • Inhibiting the growth of bacteria

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

What are the key benefits of using antimicrobial conveyor belts in the food processing industry?

Antimicrobial conveyor belts offer several key benefits in the food processing industry, including enhanced hygiene due to their ability to resist microbial growth. The use of non-migrating silver ion technology ensures that these belts are effective against a broad spectrum of microorganisms without migrating additives into food products. This makes them safe for human contact and compliant with FDA standards.

How do antimicrobial conveyor belts ensure food safety?

Antimicrobial conveyor belts are designed with non-migrating materials that prevent the growth of harmful bacteria and fungi. These belts undergo rigorous migration testing to meet top food grade standards, ensuring that there is no transfer of harmful substances to food. This technology not only maintains the integrity of the food products but also ensures compliance with safety regulations.

Are antimicrobial conveyor belts suitable for all types of food products?

Yes, antimicrobial conveyor belts are suitable for contact with a wide range of food products, including aqueous, acidic, and fatty foods. Their versatile design allows them to perform effectively under various conditions while maintaining hygiene and safety standards. This adaptability makes them an excellent choice for diverse applications within the food processing sector.
