Food conveyor belt is an important conveying tool in the food processing industry, mainly used to transport food between various processes for the next step of processing and handling. Depending on the material, structure, and use, food conveyor belts can be divided into many types.
1. Classification according to the material.
Plastic conveyor belt: Plastic conveyor belt has the advantages of being light and easy to clean, and is suitable for transporting some relatively clean food, such as fruits and vegetables.
Metal conveyor belt: Metal conveyor belt has the advantages of high strength and high wear resistance, and is suitable for conveying some foods that are relatively hard and need to withstand greater pressure, such as meat, nuts, etc.
Rubber conveyor belt: Rubber conveyor belt has the advantages of good elasticity and high temperature resistance, and is suitable for transporting some foods that need to be treated at high temperatures, such as barbecue meat, roast chicken, etc.
Second, according to the structure of classification.
Single-layer conveyor belt: Single-layer conveyor belt has only one layer, which is suitable for conveying some relatively simple foods.
Double-layer conveyor belt: The double-layer conveyor belt has two layers, and the middle can be filled with some materials, which is suitable for conveying some foods that need to maintain the shape and size, such as fruits, vegetables, etc.
Multi-layer conveyor belt: Multi-layer conveyor belt has three or more layers, which is suitable for conveying some more complex foods that require multiple processes, such as bread, biscuits, etc.
3. Classification according to use.
Drying conveyor belt: The drying conveyor belt is suitable for transporting food in the drying process, and has the advantages of high temperature resistance and corrosion resistance.
Cooling conveyor belt: The cooling conveyor belt is suitable for transporting food in the cooling process, and has the advantages of low temperature resistance and corrosion resistance.
Packaging conveyor belt: The packaging conveyor belt is suitable for transporting food in the packaging process, with the advantages of high precision and high speed.
In short, there are various types and characteristics of food conveyor belts, and different types are suitable for different food processing processes. When choosing a food conveyor belt, you need to choose according to the actual needs to ensure food safety and production efficiency.
