Nowadays, various industries are developing very fast, and the requirements in all aspects are also high. For example, people have always been concerned about food safety and hygiene in the food industry. Not only are there strict quality requirements on raw materials, but also in the production environment, equipment that meets food certification must be used. For example, a food-specific conveyor belt must be used when conveying food. SCplus is a conveyor belt expert who can analyze how to choose a food conveyor belt.

In the field of food transportation, light conveyor belts are commonly used conveying equipment, of which PVC conveyor belts and PU conveyor belts are the two most common types. The main difference between these two industrial conveyor belts is the material: PVC conveyor belts use polyvinyl chloride, while PU conveyor belts use polyurethane. Both meet food hygiene standards, have a moderate color and no odor, and can directly contact food.

How to choose a suitable food conveyor belt
If the food being conveyed is bagged, canned or boxed, PVC food conveyor belts can be used. The reasons are as follows:

1. PVC conveyor belts are high in strength, light in weight, wear-resistant, bright and beautiful, non-toxic, odorless, anti-static, stretchable, long life, and low resistance.
2. The patterned PVC conveyor belt can convey bulk and bagged materials at an angle of 0°~45°, prevent materials from sliding, and improve conveying capacity.
3. Good wear and chemical resistance, constant impact hardness, and long service life.
4. The PVC conveyor belt has good elasticity and cannot easily deform. It uses high-strength high-quality cotton, nylon, and polyester canvas as the core. It is made of pure natural rubber, white or light-colored, pollution-free, and does not affect the odor of food hygiene.

You can choose PU food conveyor belts if you convey bread and baked foods and directly contact food.

1. The PU conveyor belt is a non-toxic and odorless polyurethane material with a smooth surface that meets food-grade hygiene standards.
2. It has good wear resistance and is suitable for long-term high-load material transportation.
3. It is resistant to most chemical substances and is suitable for transporting chemical products.
4. It can work in a certain high-temperature environment and is suitable for materials that require high-temperature treatment.
5. It has high tensile strength and is suitable for transporting heavily loaded materials.
