OEM, a major pharmaceutical packaging application, has recently selected Belt Technologies (Europe) to produce stainless steel conveyor belts that will be included in a new sterilization tunnel system. Belt Technologies, Inc. specializes in the design and manufacturing of solid, stainless steel conveyor belts for a variety of industries, including food processing, robotics, and pharmaceutical manufacturing.
âStainless steel metal conveyor belts are an excellent choice for the pharmaceutical packaging and processing industries,â? said sales and marketing manager, Ivan Amaya, âMetal belts are sanitary, easy to clean, and do not generate particulates, which makes them a perfect option for environments where cleanliness is paramount.â?
Each sterilization tunnel will incorporate two solid stainless steel metal conveyor belts by Belt Technologies. The belts will operate in tandem to keep products stable where the mesh wire belts failed to do so. They will also achieve a smooth operating motion without the need for lubrication. Metal belts do not outgas or generate particulates, which makes them a perfect choice for highly sanitary environments. In addition, their resistance to intensely high temperatures enables metal conveyor belts to survive the sterilization process.
