Steel belts for food processing

Product catalog summary
Overview
Berndorf Band specializes in manufacturing steel belts for the food industry, designed to withstand significant mechanical and thermal stress. These belts maintain their shape and flatness despite frequent temperature changes and high load cycles, ensuring high sanitary standards and ease of cleaning.

Key Features
  • Long-lasting durability and effortless cleaning.
  • Can withstand temperatures up to 400°C (750°F).
  • Heat-absorbing surface and excellent running properties.
  • Consistent product quality.

Material Selection
The choice of material is crucial for the belt's quality and longevity. The CARBO 32 material offers high abrasion resistance, deformation resistance, and bending fatigue strength, making it ideal for the food industry where wet cleaning is common.

Belt Guiding and Tensioning
Berndorf offers specialized belt tensioning and tracking systems, including the bernmatic® and berntrack® systems, to ensure precise belt running. These systems are tailored to the specific needs of the machinery after expert inspection.

Belt Tracking and Accessories
Reliable belt tracking is essential for uninterrupted production. Vee-ropes and product retaining strips, made from materials like nitrile rubber, natural rubber, silicone rubber, and stainless steel, are used to enhance belt guiding based on operating temperatures.

Technical Specifications
The document provides detailed physical and mechanical properties of various steel belt materials, including tensile strength, hardness, elongation, welding factor, fatigue strength, modulus of elasticity, density, thermal expansion, specific heat, thermal conductivity, and specific electric resistance. It also lists the maximum permissible operating temperatures and corresponding tensile strengths.

Applications
These high-quality steel belts are primarily used in the production of chocolate, coffee, cheese, animal food, and meat, where they are exposed to extreme mechanical and thermal loads during processes like cooling, deep-freezing, steaming, drying, and conveying.

Steel belts for food processing-2

Dependable, sanitary and easy to clean Berndorf Band manufactures steel belts for foodstuffs and luxury food industry that are subjected to enormous loads of mechanical and thermal stress. Even though exposed to frequent changes in temperature and a high number of load cycles, they perfectly retain their flatness and shape. The smooth and abrasion-resistant belt surface keeps fibers and remnants of fat from lodging in the steel belt. The belts, thus, not only satisfy the highest sanitary standards but are also exceptionally easy to clean. Since access to the belt surface is effortless and not...

Steel belts for food processing-3

First-rate belt tracking precision A reliable belt tracking system is of supreme importance to any smooth and uninterrupted production process. The temperature variations and high pressure levels to which the belts are exposed during operation can lead to imperfect belt tracking. To provide for perfect belt guiding, the belts can be equipped with vee-ropes made of stainless steel, nitrile rubber or natural rubber - depending on the operating temperature. If necessary, belt guiding can be further optimized by additional product retaining strips made of different types of rubber. Vee-ropes and...
