New belts have been engineered to address the performance and quality requirements of dewatering and drying produce
Food safety solutions specialist Ammeraal Beltech has introduced the Ultrascreen Pro for fruit and vegetable processing.
According to the group, the belts have been engineered to address the performance and quality requirements of dewatering and drying of foodstuffs without damaging products including fresh-cut fruit, vegetables and salad leaves.
”Unlike the traditional friction-driven mesh belts, Ultrascreen Pro does not require crowned or lagged drive pulleys with v-guides,” Ammeraal Beltech stated.
”The positive driven Ultrascreen Pro belt uses the proven Soliflex PRO lug technology. This gives the belt ultimate tracking and almost tensionless running.
”The new mesh belt prevents the cracking of v-guides and tearing out of stainless-steel fasteners,” the company continued. ”OEMs and end users appreciate reduced energy required to run conveyors and no run-in time, just ’plug and play’, thus these features are present with the Ultrascreen Pro belts.
”All in all, Ultrascreen Pro mesh belts are more cost-efficient to build, guarantee an exceptional tracking and shorten installation.”
The Ultrascreen Pro range is certified with ISO 22000, is approved by the FDA and complies with EU10/2011.
”To be more precise, polyester monofilaments are the proven solution for the processing of vegetables, fruit, and fish,” the statement added. ”The Ultrascreen mesh allows an open area of 30 per cent to 62 per cent making it easy to clean and sanitise.”
