Thermoformed belt makes this conveyor ideal for sanitary use
Symetix
The Sanitary Belt Conveyor (photo, top left) is designed for bulk tablets, capsules, softgels and powders, as well as ingredients handled on regulated and over-the-counter pharmaceutical and nutritional-supplement manufacturing and packaging lines. Featuring a positive-drive, urethane belt, stainless-steel frame and components, open construction and other sanitary features, this belt conveyor eases cleaning, which reduces labor, speeds product changeover and increases uptime while improving equipment and product hygiene. Designed for conveying ingredients to blending and mixing operations, and finished products to packaging operations, the versatile conveyor comes in cantilever, flat and inclined configurations that can be mounted to the floor, mounted on casters or suspended. The belts can be designed with a flat surface or with a variety of shaped flights or flexible side walls to contain the product in the pockets during operation. The FDA-compliant belting is thermoformed to ensure a homogeneous and seamless belt, which reduces the risk of bacterial contamination and fouling. It can accommodate throughput from less than 2,000 lb/h to more than 60,000 lb/h. — Symetix, Walla Walla, Wash.
