Proper tracking is important for any conveyor belt application. Bakeries in particular have challenges that rise from excess materials contaminating the conveyor.
One of our OEMs created an innovative solution to correct this issue but it was causing the belt to fold over on itself. These conveyor belts were 24" wide and over 200' long! The folding was not aesthetically pleasing and would reduce belt life, but more importantly it narrowed the belt width and impacted production. We tried switching to a standard monofilament belt for increased stability along the width, but ultimately ended up moving to a belt with high beam strength fabric for an extremely cross-rigid belt.
Mol Belting introduced our HBS-2AR7-0W-U-SP into this application with great success. The belt no longer folded over itself, was able to track true with the innovative design, and the satin cover provided release comparable to their previous belt. A win all around!
If you have an application that could benefit from this belt we would love to hear about! Please contact us at [email protected] or call 1-800-729-2358.
