food INDUSTRY

Food industry
Food production is essential as food is a basic need. But food also has consequences for our habitat and our environment. Besides eating sustainable food and wasting less, careful and efficient production also contributes to a better and healthy living environment. The food industry is very much aware of that, and conveyor belts play an important role in transporting the food.
Conveyor belt for the food industry
At LBS, we have been developing and supplying efficient and sustainable conveyor belts for the processes and machines in the food industry for decades. In doing so, we supply the right conveyor belts in combination with the right components:
-
Baking industry
- In the baking industry, it's important that products (such as dough) don't stick to the belt. By using a diamond profile, the product comes away from the conveyor belt more easily.
- It's important that, for some products, due consideration is given to the choice of belt type. Oil and grease resistance play a major role in this as well.
-
Chocolate industry
- In the chocolate industry, temperatures play a significant role because it's important that the belt can withstand differences in temperature.
- It's also important that, in most instances, flat belts are used in the chocolate industry. This makes it more ideal for the product to come off or get scraped off, and it's easier to keep clean.
- It's important that, for some products, due consideration is given to the choice of belt type. Oil and grease resistance play a major role in this as well.
-
Meat, fish and poultry processing industry
- In the meat, fish and poultry processing industry, it's important the moisture and grease that is released from these products can be drained well. In that regard, the choice of belt type is important.
- It's important that, for some products, due consideration is given to the choice of belt type. Oil and grease resistance play a major role in this as well.
-
Fruit and vegetable industry
- In the fruit and vegetable industry, gauze belts are used more frequently due to the rinsing of the products. Due to the rinsing of the products, a lot of water is involved so it's important that moisture drains well.
-
Cheese/dairy industry
- Apart from hygiene (foodgrade) properties, it's important that the conveyor belts in the dairy industry also have the right force-elongation ratio to let the processes run in the most optimal way. Under heavy loading of the conveyor belt and with an eye on preventing product loss, the choice is often made for a belt with wavy edges. This is to keep the products in position and minimise the risk of damage for products such as cheese.

Besides that, there are also companies in the processing of packaged and unpackaged food and production companies of, for example, salads and fries. For these companies, the aspects of food safety and hygiene are of major importance, which is why we have a high product quality in our range that takes into account the constant up-to-date market-specific hygiene properties.
