Esbelt offers thermoplastic belts (PVC, TPU, polyester, polyolefin, silicone) that meet food regulations (FDA and EU) for a wide variety of food applications in sectors like bakery & biscuits, chocolate & confectionary, meat & poultry, fish & seafood, fruits & vegetables.

Businesses in the food industry know very well that they need to work under strict hygiene measures and bacteriological control to avoid becoming the focal point of possible virus and bacteria transmission.

  • Esbelt´s antimicrobial conveyor belts help to minimize contamination risks and excess microbial charge. These belts reduce microbial growth by 99%.
  • Esbelt’s offer belts with wick resistant. The low absorption of fluids prevents pathogenic micro-organisms from penetrating the fabric through capillarity.
  • Strictly meet the food regulations FDA and EU 10/2011

TPU Belts for Food Industry

TPU is a thermoplastic with high resistance to abrasion and is suitable for applications where the products are abrasive or where scrapers and side skirts are used.
The smooth and matt cover belts are non-porous and are easy to clean. Esbelt also offers belts with top cover embossments.
Within the TPU range, they have 2 series:

Standard TPU

  • Highly resistant to animal and vegetable oils and fats, no cracks, high level of hygiene.
  • Prevents accumulation of residue and micro-organisms.
  • Recommended for oily and abrasive applications.

Premium TPU

  • Bacteriostatic formulation with strong and long lasting anti-microbial and antibiofilms effects (ISO 22196).
  • Highly resistant to hydrolysis.
  • High flexibility under cold temperatures.
  • Specially recommended for applications where there is strict cleaning and disinfecting protocol, where there is high humidity and the control of microbial load is of vital importance.

 

Metal Detectable 1

Metal Detectable Conveyor and Processing Belt

Conveyor belts suffer cuts, wear and tear, which in some occasions may lead to the detachment of small plastic parts. These may enter the production line and contaminate food. Blue conveyor belts have been gradually introduced to the food industry to improve their visual detection. However, should they accidentally get mixed inside the conveyed product, visual detection would be very difficult. To minimize this risk and enhance food safety, Esbelt has developed a conveyor belt detectable by metal detection devices.

 

Anti Microbial Belt 1

Anti-Microbial Belt

The esbelt AM antimicrobial belt range represents a very important aid for food companies in guaranteeing the safety of processed foods, especially when shelf life is a strategic property of the food item. In order not to alter the conveyed food, its main active antimicrobial agent is not a bactericide but a bacteriostatic component. Its function is to prevent the belt from adding microbial load to the conveyed product. Reduces the risk of claims and returns.

Bakery and Biscuits 1

 

Conveyor Belts in the Bakery and Biscuit Industries

These 2 industries are very similar in the sense that throughout the entire production process, from the moulding of the dough to the cooling and packaging of the finished products, the belts are constantly in contact with the products.

Belts for these processes:

  • Are 100% toxic-free: Foodgrade certification according to the European (EU 10/2011 and CE 1935/2004) and American (FDA) regulations.
  • Has excellent performance due to its dimensional stability.
  • Good release of products (belts for dough manipulating/laminating/moulding or for cooling of sticky food products).
  • Resistance to temperature (oven exits, cooling tunnels).
  • Resistance to vegetable oils and fats which are commonly used in the process.
  • Abrasion resistant (salt and sugar sprinkler).
  • Flexibility on knife-edge.

Premium PU belts in white and blue.

  • Silk matt, homogenous, non-porous, easy to clean cover.
  • Low adherent cover for a good product transfer and positioning.
  • Strong and long-lasting antimicrobial & antibiofilm effects (ISO22196).
  • High resistance to hydrolysis.
  • Wick resistant fabric to enhance hygiene.
  • Above average load capacity but high flexibility for knife edge applications and energy saving.
  • High stability fabrics yield long flexural life.
  • Both the belt and its raw materials are of FDA and EU10/2011 food quality.

100% Wool Felt, TUBUL belts.

  • Truly endless, no seam or joint.
  • Non-adherent.

 

Chocolate and Confectionary 1

Conveyor Belts in the Chocolate and Confectionary Industries

Silicone belts in white, transparent and blue.

  • Non-stick belt top cover with excellent release of sticky products.
  • Wide range of temperature variance. Excellent thermal conductivity for cooling tunnels.
  • Resistant to vegetable oils and animal fats.
  • FDA and EU 10/2011 food quality both the belt and their raw materials.

Standard PU belts in white, blue, light green, brown and ocher.

  • Highly resistant to animal and vegetable oils and fats, no cracks, high level of hygiene.
  • High resistance to abrasion.
  • High flexibility for knife edge applications.
  • Possibility to weld profiles and sidewalls.
  • FDA and EU 10/2011 food quality both the belt and their raw materials.

WITH MATT COVERS.

  • Silk matt, homogenous, non-porous, easy to clean cover.
  • Low adherent, non-stick belt cover for a good product transfer and positioning.

WITH GLOSSY COVERS.

  • Smooth, homogenous, non-porous, easy to clean cover.

WITH EMBOSSED COVERS.

  • Avoid chocolate accumulation on the product base.
  • Improve product transfer.

Sealed Belt Edges

  • Belt edges are sealed as an additional safety and protection measure, especially for hygiene purposes in food applications.
  • Prevent oils and moistures from penetrating the fabric layer of the conveyor belts from the borders, thus avoiding microbial growth and ply separation.
  • Prevent fabric fiber from sticking out from the belt edges and contaminating the conveyed products.
  • Esbelt can seal the edges of PVC, PU and polyolefin belts ranging from 0.8mm to 9.6mm thick, from 1-ply to 4-ply and belts with smooth, matt or embossed top and bottom cover.
