In order to ensure food safety and production efficiency in food production, the popularity of food machinery is relatively high, and the use of conveyor belts plays a role in conveying and processing in the food production process. So what materials does the food conveyor belt have?
1. Material requirements
The material of the conveyor belt is composed of a food-grade polymer material and a fabric-like skeleton layer. This composite material has the characteristics of high tensile force, good flexibility, lightness and durability. Some materials are resistant to oil and ultraviolet due to their physical and chemical properties. The most important thing is to meet food hygiene standards.
2. Material composition
There are many kinds of food conveyor belt materials, the main materials are PU, pvc, silica gel, etc., and the cloth layers are mainly cotton cloth, polyester cloth, etc. The main materials are mostly pu and pvc.

3. Material characteristics (pu, pvc as examples)
Pu conveyor belt
1. Good oil resistance, meeting the transportation requirements of oily raw materials in food processing;
2. Good hydrolysis resistance, prolong the service life and reduce the growth of bacteria;
3. The material has high hardness, which can be used in the process where the conveyor belt is required to be resistant to cutting;
4. Compound food hygiene standards, allowing direct contact with food.
Pvc conveyor belt
1. The surface hardness is moderate, and multiple patterns are available, and the appropriate pvc conveyor belt can be selected according to different needs;
2. Good weather resistance, economical conveyor belt, which can be applied to different production scenarios;
The processing belt has a wide range of applications and can meet different non-standard food transportation needs.
