Synthetic Belts for Abrasive Sugar Transport
Synthetic Belts for Abrasive Sugar Transport in Safe environment. The sugar industry is a risk manufacturing area. Granular, dusty materials can become flammable or combustible. The sugar belts are:
• certified for ATEX category 2, including accessories (e.g. tracking ropes, carriers, Bordoflex corrugated sidewalls, Amseal closed belt edges);
• flame retardant according ISO 340;
• antistatic according ISO 21178.
Main features
• Foodgrade, meets FDA and EC
1935/2011 requirements
• Low elongation; belts with 2 or
3 flexible fabric plies
• Fabrics coated on both sides –
no ingress of sugar; closed belt
edges are optional
• No electrostatic build-up –
antistatic according to ISO 21178
• Flame retardant according
ISO 340
• ATEX compliance for use in
potentially explosive areas
Experience and extended
application knowledge enabled
Monster to develop a
specific range of plied belts for the
sugar industry: transport of cane
and beets, refining and packaging.Benefits
• Low energy consumption
• Reduced maintenance costs
• Increased productivity
• Longer belt life
Processing sugar sets high
demands. The transport of the
coarse sugar is an abrasive process.
Conveyor belt damage may occur
and it has effect on the safety issues
in the factory – fire and combustion
have to be avoided.
Typical application
• Unpacked and packed sugar
• Other granular (food) products
Food safe
The sugar belts are food grade
products that comply with
international standards EC1935/2004
and FDA.
Safe environment
The sugar industry is a risk
manufacturing area. Granular, dusty
materials can become flammable or
combustible. The sugar belts are:
• certified for ATEX category 2,
including accessories (e.g.
tracking ropes, carriers, Bordoflex
corrugated sidewalls, Amseal
closed belt edges);
• flame retardant according ISO 340;
• antistatic according ISO 21178.
High productivity
The Flexam PVC and Nitrile BX
rubber covers guarantee a proper
protection of the fabric layers against
ambient conditions, but also against
negative influences of the sugar.
The covers are abrasion, impact and
chemical resistant.
Less maintenance
The sugar belts have proven to
be very reliable. The high quality
synthetic materials combined with
strong polyester fabrics ensure
flexibility and a low belt weight
resulting in easy cleaning and a long
belt life.
