Choosing Conveyor Belts for Food Machinery: Why Silicone is the Ideal Material?

I. Core Requirements for Food Industry

• Safety Compliance: FDA, EU 10/2011 certified, non-toxic.

• Extreme Environment Resistance: Stable from -60℃ to 250℃, withstands steam cleaning and freezing.

• Easy Cleaning & Anti-Bacterial: Smooth surface prevents residue buildup.

• Durability & Cost Efficiency: 3x lifespan vs. conventional materials.

II. Material Comparison

1. PVC: Low cost but limited heat resistance (≤80℃), prone to grease adhesion.

2. PU: Wear-resistant but (≤90℃), requires frequent cleaning.

3. Silicone:

   • Advantages: Food-grade safety, wide temperature range, non-stick surface, corrosion resistance.

   • Applications: Baking, dairy, frozen food lines.

III. Why Silicone?

• Solves Industry Challenges: No deformation in heat/freezing, versatile for diverse lines.

• Lower Total Cost: 60% faster cleaning, 35% reduced maintenance.

• Full Certification: Supports HACCP, ISO 22000 compliance.

IV. Key Selection Criteria

• Material Quality: Platinum-cured silicone, zero contamination risk.

• Customization: Thickness (0.5mm–10mm), textures, colors.

• Supplier Credentials: ISO 9001 certified, technical support, rapid response.

V. Jiashengda’s Expertise

• 18 Years of Innovation: Patented silicone formulas, Italian-made production lines.

• Case Studies:

  • Dairy client: Acid-resistant belts cut downtime by 50%;

  • Global bakery: Zero scorching at 230℃, 20% efficiency gain.
