Lafert Introlux Food Grade belt

• Transporting food products within processing lines, such as baked goods, confectionery, or packaged items.
• Moving ingredients between different stages of food manufacturing, like mixing, cooking, or packaging.
• Integrating into automated production systems for sorting, inspection, or assembly of food items.
• Handling delicate or irregularly shaped food products where gentle transport is required.

Typical capacity

For this class of equipment, throughput can vary significantly based on belt speed and product density, typically ranging from hundreds to several thousand items per hour or kilograms per hour.

Power supply

Motorised belt conveyors commonly operate on standard industrial single-phase or three-phase electrical supplies, typically 230V or 400V, 50Hz in the UK.

Belt material

Food-grade belts are typically made from materials such as PU (polyurethane) or PVC (polyvinyl chloride) that comply with food contact regulations.

Operating environment

Designed for use in food processing environments, often requiring regular washdowns and resistance to common cleaning agents.

Speed control

Many units of this type feature variable speed control, allowing adjustment to suit different product types and production rates.

Frame construction

Frames are commonly constructed from stainless steel or food-grade coated mild steel for hygiene and durability.
