Forbo to showcase conveyor & processing belts at Anuga FoodTec
Food manufacturing, packaging and distribution is all about hygienic, careful, and reliable processes. Forbo Movement Systems’ specialised conveyor and processing belts comply fully with these criteria. They treat products gently, however complex the process, are easy to clean and reliable in terms of long service lives, superior production results and efficiency, according to the company. They also support HACCP concepts.
At Anuga FoodTec 2022, Forbo Movement Systems will be showcasing the following highlights:
Fullsan belts
Siegling Fullsan is the new product line of homogeneous, thermoplastic, polyurethane belts from Forbo Movement Systems. All Siegling Fullsan belts are protected from contamination by oil, grease, moisture, and bacteria. Siegling Fullsan belts are very easy to clean and ideal for exceptionally hygiene-critical applications (dairy products, dough preparation, meat and poultry processing and other food-related areas).
Frayfree and Smartseal belt edge protection
Due to the special design of Frayfree belts, the edges hardly fray at all. On the one hand, Smartseal belt edge sealing prevents oil, grease, and water from penetrating and therefore bacteria from forming and on the other, reliably stops the belt edges from fraying. Both types of sealing meet the stringent hygiene demands in the food industry perfectly.
Prolink modular belts
With closed surfaces all the way round and homogeneous materials, hygiene is already an integral feature of Siegling Prolink plastic modular belts. It goes without saying that they comply with EU, FDA, and USDA requirements too. Special HACCP types and easy-to-clean designs are further factors that minimize any safety risks and ensure efficient production at the same time.
The new S18-44 HDK 2.2 + (High Deck) variant in the curved belt series 18 has a raised belt surface to allow cost-efficient and hygienic belt tracking. As a result, the High Deck design guarantees products can be pushed off at the sides and has sufficient width, which extends beyond the actual belt width, to convey products. The 44% open area on the surface provides exceptional airflow and superb drainage.
A new ProSnap Quick Release fastener (PSP) was developed for Forbo Movement Systems’ micropitch Prolink series 13 and can be integrated into a diverse range of this series’ variants. The hygiene-critical food market, in particular, has been crying out for a quick-release fastener for cleaning-out-of-place processes.
Forbo Movement Systems employs around 2,400 people. Its international network of branches and service partners means it has warehouses and workshops in over 80 countries. Forbo Siegling belts made of synthetic materials are used in nearly all industries, but also in the retail and services industries. Key competencies are the food and packaging industries, logistics and airports, as well as paper, print and raw materials industries. Forbo Movement Systems (formerly Siegling) was founded in Hanover, Germany in 1919.
