Meat and Poultry Conveyor Belting

Meat and Poultry Conveyor Belts: A Comprehensive Overview

Meat and poultry conveyor belts encompass various types, each designed to optimize different stages of the processing workflow. The primary types of belts include:

1. Modular Belts: Constructed from molded plastics, these belts consist of numerous small plastic pieces linked together to form a continuous belt. They utilize a direct drive system, typically involving a series of sprockets mounted on a square shaft at both ends of the conveyor.

2. Monolithic Belts: Made from pure polyurethane (PU/PUR), these belts lack a carcass or carrier, distinguishing them from other types like printing blankets or incline belts. Their non-porous, highly hygienic surface is resistant to cleaning chemicals. Monolithic belts also feature direct drive, achieved by welding slats across the width of the belt’s underside.
