When it comes to selecting the right food processing conveyor belt for your plant, food safety should be a primary concern. Your plant’s managers are likely extremely diligent about keeping your facility clean. They may regularly sterilize equipment, clean common areas, enforce internal hygiene practices for staff, and more. But, bacteria, microbes, and other unhygienic organisms can insinuate themselves into the smallest cracks, the tightest spots, and the most challenging spaces to clean. Because of this, the right belt, one that doesn’t just enhance productivity but also contributes to a hygienic environment, can be difficult to locate.
According to experts, there are three things to keep in mind when outfitting their conveyor systems:
- Implementing and engineering the correct conveyor design
- Selecting the right material for their facility to promote sanitary and hygienic conditions
- Sourcing belts that can be quickly inspected and, more importantly, that are easy to clean
