There are two belts installed in this application. The belts are used in the feeding line. Thevegetables are carried on the longer beltand on top of this belt, there is a shorter belt placed which fixes the position of the carried vegetables. The conveyor line then goes through the cutting edges and conveys the chopped vegetables out. The OEM used a nonfood grade PU belt in the past which he wanted to exchange.

除了皮带需要food-s的事实afe, it also needed an easy release surface, a good traction layer, high chemical and oil resistance as well as a reliable joining method. Habasit recommended theHySAN® beltFAW-8EOCV.

With its PET traction layer, FAW-8EOCV has a high tensile strength and the waffle structure with low friction contact enables easy release. The belt is food-approved and has good resistance against oil and acid. The customer was very satisfied with the performance of the belt and the high-quality joining done by our fabrication team.

Improved Conveyor Belt Lifetime & Performance

This solution saves 30 minutes for cleaning for every shift of 8 hours. The estimated savings at the end user are $ 1,200 per year for cleaning only. Furthermore, our belt lasts around 50% longer than the previous PU belt which was bought from another belt manufacturer at a similar price. Thanks to the food grade quality of the belt, the OEM is able to promote this application to additional end users in thefood industry.
