Task: Cooling conveyor belt for the food industry

Extruded pet food (dog chew sticks) is to be transported on a conveyor belt into a cooling tunnel.

Part temperature approx. 120°C

The conveyor belt must be supplied in an FDA-compliant design (the same guidelines apply to pet food as to other food products).

Conveyor belt in the lightest possible, yet stable and mobile design, as it frequently needs to be moved for conversion purposes on the extruder.

The belt used and the design of the conveyor belt are intended to allow steam circulation.

The conveyor belt must be able to be positioned as close as possible to the extruder nozzle head at the material feed point.

The material must be transferred to an existing on-site cooling conveyor belt at the material discharge point, without the extruded strips being stretched too much.

The conveying speed must be continuously adjustable between 4 and 24 m/min - depending on the item being produced.

Solution: Small conveyor belt with cooling function in food-grade design

A specially adapted I-Tech conveyor belt in food-grade design

All rollers are made of stainless steel; all other components are made of either anodized aluminum, plastic, or stainless steel.

Central drive and double-sided knife edge deflection (Ø 32mm) at the belt entry and exit

Frequency converter for continuously variable belt speed

A special Kevlar mesh ceiling with a 4x4mm mesh size is mounted on a perforated stainless steel sheet. This allows the steam to circulate easily.
