PVC coated belts are a good choice for handling both wet and dry foods, such as dough or processed meats and poultry. PVC coating is also used on heavy belt carcasses. Nonwoven belts are especially suitable for the heavier loads, while belts with interwoven design offer good oil resistance through their PVC coating.
PVC general purpose belts ensure food compliance in dry and wet applications. This high-quality range features melt-coated, non-porous, low-migration surfaces, and forms the backbone of Habasit's PVC food belt offering. Well-proven for fruit and vegetable handling, including applications like potato grading, the wide range of surface variations on offer includes e.g. hard, matt finishes for improved goods release, and provides exactly the right belt for each application.
Habasit HYSAN belts perfectly match the needs of food processes involving oily, fatty, and wet conditions. Tests of our HYSAN belts confirm their superiority in comparison with common food PVC belts.
Woven PVC belts provide high tear- and puncture resistance for demanding applications in a single ply design without the need for ply adhesion. Options include different types of covers and various PVC blends and colors. Commonly used for applications in the agriculture
industry, these belts are also well-established in food processing.
Nonwoven PVC food belts are built using a strength member with needled, felt-like material on both sides. The carcass is either saturated and/or coated with PVC. This unique design creates a very strong, frayless, and sturdy belt that is also resistant to ingress due to its
saturation. A smooth PVC coating and/or antimicrobial additives* are also possible.
