Viking Conveyor will work with you to establish the specific requirements of your conveyor belt systems as part of your food processing, taking into account key factors such as:
- PRODUCT
What product is being manufactured on the belt? What is its dimensions and temperature? Do you need a belt that is non-absorbent and odour resistant so it doesn’t damage your food products? What does the surface of the belt need to be like? Are you looking for a smooth surface that is abrasion resistant? Is your product sticky and requires a surface that makes product release easy?
- PROCESS
What process is the belt involved in; heating, cooling, washing? Do you have a HACCP and if so are there any conveyor belt specifications which must be met as part of this system?
- LAYOUT
How will the belt be physically arranged e.g inclining/ declining, twisting, side flexing; what are the lengths of the sectors and width; Are their transfer zones and is there a need for the separation of different foods or foods from non-food items
- ENVIRONMENT
What are surroundings like e.g what temperature, humidity, atmosphere and other conditions will the belt be exposed to which could impact on the food?
- FOOD SAFETY
What are the food standards that must be met and what specially needs to be addressed to ensure your food is safe for the consumer to eat? Is the belt FDA and USDA certified so they meet the toughest international standards for food contact
materials?
- CLEANING & MAINTENANCE
What are your cleaning and hygiene requirements?
- COMMERCIAL FACTORS
What are the maintenance standards, desired lifetime, production optimisation targets. How easy is the belt to clean to avoid any build up of bacteria?
