FoodGuard - Timing Belts for the food industry 

Alphabelt FoodGuard timing belts have been specially developed to meet the requirements of the food industry. Hygiene, material quality and the cleaning of machine components play a crucial role in food processing, production and packaging.

Our FoodGuard belts combine suitable materials with specially developed designs and finishing processes. Depending on the application, timing belts and conveyor belts with different coatings, surface profiles and technical properties are available. Manufacturer documentation confirming FDA and EU compliance for food contact is available for all FoodGuard belts.

Material Compliance for Food Contact

Belts and conveyor belts used in food contact applications must meet the applicable requirements for material suitability and product safety. Manufacturers' declarations of compliance are available for FoodGuard belts in accordance with Regulation (EC) No. 1935/2004 and Regulation (EU) No. 10/2011, as well as the relevant FDA requirements for food contact.

Depending on the design, the corresponding material properties may apply to the entire belt or to the surfaces intended for food contact. It is essential that all components coming into contact with food, including any coatings and cleats, are suitable for the intended application.

 

Manufacturing Based on Any Type of Base Belts

FoodGuard belts can be manufactured using different types of base belts, including timing belts, Poly-V belts and conveyor belts. In conventional manufacturing, suitable coatings made from materials such as PU, rubber or silicone are welded or bonded to the base belt. Different surface profiles allow the belt to be specifically adapted to the product being conveyed.

Our FoodGuardPLUS belts represent a further development. The tooth and backing profiles are produced continuously in a single extrusion process. This creates a homogeneous belt structure without additional welded or bonded joints between the tooth and backing profiles. This design is particularly easy to clean and reduces potential areas where contamination could accumulate.


 

Hygienic Design and Corrosion Protection

All conveyor belts that come into contact with food must be easy to clean thoroughly. Sealed edges and the absence of winding noses prevent dirt from accumulating in hard-to-reach corners. For the same reason, coatings are preferably applied in an endless configuration, without seams or joints.

Corrosion protection is also a high priority for belts used in the food industry. As machine components are frequently exposed to moisture, oils and cleaning agents, corrosion protection plays an important role. Special belt designs are available in which the tension members are completely enclosed by the belt body.

In addition, we use specially developed polyurethane materials which, depending on the version, offer increased resistance to moisture, certain oils and cleaning agents.


 

FoodGuardPLUS Belts – Teeth and back in one piece

A new development, which is precisely tailored in material and consistency to the needs of the food industry, is the so-called FoodGuardPLUS belt. FoodGuardPLUS belts are distinguished above all by their unique manufacturing process, in which the entire belt with both the tooth profile as well as the desired back profile is produced in one piece directly by extrusion. This homogeneous structure makes further operations such as welding or gluing unnecessary. The side edges are closed, and there are no seams or splices. FoodGuardPLUS belts are available up to a width of 300 mm.

As base material we use PU in the hardnesses 60, 84 and 92 Shore A, which provides high resistance to water, oil and certain chemicals. FoodGuardPLUS belts can be used permanently at temperatures from -10 to 40 °C, and temporarily even up to 50 °C. If tension cords are required, we use Aramid for this purpose. Belts without tension cords or with zones free of tension cords are also available on request.

Applications for FoodGuardPLUS belts

FoodGuardPLUS belts are perfectly suited for a wide range of transport tasks in the food industry. Equipped with spikes, they are used, among other things, in sausage and cheese slicers, and with lamella or sawtooth profiles they are preferred for conveying fish. As haul-off belts they are used in the production of sausages. But they are also ideal for transporting baked goods, meat products, cold cuts or containers.

 

Wide range of back and tooth profiles available

To suit their versatile transport tasks, FoodGuardPLUS belts are available with numerous different back profiles, such as nubs, spikes, lengthwise grooves, fabric structures, sawtooth, frustum or triangle profiles. On request, customer-specific surfaces can also be applied directly during extrusion. On the running side, FoodGuardPLUS belts are available with T5, T10, ST5 or Poly-V tooth profiles. To improve its abrasion resistance, it is also possible to coat the tooth side with FDA-grade polyamide.
