New spiral belt for clean processing

Published: 9-Apr-2009

Conveyor specialist Twentebelt has made its entrance into the spiral belt market with a completely new design. With the elimination of welded joints, this patented spiral belt design is said to offer several improvements over existing technology, increasing durability, cleanability and efficiency.

The revolutionary 180° bending of the cross rod and its lock into the connection link will increase production efficiency by eliminating the major reasons for belt failure. Weld breakage, cross rod breakage (next to the weld), sharp welds and tented inside links are no longer a threat for process continuity. TwenteFlex is designed for demanding applications in the food processing industry. By eliminating welded joints the TwenteFlex has no dead-end cavities, preventing possible hygiene threats.

The absence of welds also prevents the necessity of pickling and passivating, a time intensive and expensive process. The open structure of the belt and its components makes the belt easy to clean and hygienic. www.twentebelt.com
