Business Wire
The Power Transmission unit of Gates Corporation, one of the
world’s leading manufacturers of belt drive systems, offers Gates
Mectrol food grade belting to save maintenance time and sanitation
expenses in wash down environments. Companies processing meat,
poultry, cheese or any raw food benefit from the highly cleanable
belts.
A drop-in replacement for 1” and 2” plastic modular belting,
Gates Mectrol PosiClean® belting offers full synchronization and a
smooth design that requires less water and labor during cleaning
and sanitation. FlatClean™ belting is the non-fraying flat belt
replacement option, while CenterClean™ belting offers
self-tracking.
The belting can be pressure washed on the table in 50% less time
and cut water usage by 45%. The food grade belts meet material
requirements of the USDA and the FDA and have sealed Kevlar® or
aramid tension members that limit stretch. In addition, they offer
fastening and installation flexibility with the options of a
vulcanized weld, mechanical fasteners or the new PosiLace™ single
pin system, which allows for simple belt removal while limiting the
chance of contamination.
One poultry processing plant replaced plastic modular conveyor
belts with PosiClean belting to save $148,000 per year in labor,
water usage, water heating and wastewater disposal costs.
