Timing Belts
for the Food Sector (FDA)
Timing Belts in Food-Grade Polyurethane (FDA)
This type of product is characterised by the fact that the thermoplastic polyurethane used to produce the belt is FDA certified; it is usually blue in colour, with variable hardness from 60 to 90 shore.
These types of belts are produced by the metre, and are supplied in closed loop via welding or with the use of a mechanical joint; the maximum width which can be produced is 300 mm, and the available pitches are AT, T, L, XL, H with the internal strands usually in kevlar; in some cases it is possible to supply stainless-steel cables.
The FDA-approved timing belts, as well as having a smooth back, are available in different geometries which vary depending on the type of product to be transported, offering different advantages.
In the photo gallery on this page you can see some of the available models, and we are available to support you in choosing the solution which best meets your needs.
The materials used to produce these timing belts are highly resistant to many detergents, chemicals, oils and water, and for this reason are used to transport meat, cured meats, fruit, vegetables, bread, biscuits, fish, chocolate, …
Timing Belts with FDA Coatings
It is possible to apply coatings to the rear of the belt with FDA-approved and certified characteristics both via cold gluing and with hot-applied systems.
The first solution is to spread silicone, and this is available in hardnesses of around 30 shore, thus guaranteeing good grip and a high level of adaptability to the transported product; the second involves gluing on various types of coating, including food-grade rubber (60 shore), FDA-approved polyurethane and silicone rubber available in multiple hardnesses from 30 to 65 shore.
Belts with attachments and machining in FDA-approved versions
The types of belts with cleats, as well as those with generic machining and those for vacuum systems, can be created with the same geometric characteristics as the standard products, but using FDA-approved and certified materials.
1 – Rubber coating and PU attachments, both FDA certified
2 – AT10 timing belt with blue coating and shaped PU attachments, FDA approval
3 – Belt with FDA-approved 60 sh. rubber coating with machining for vacuum
4 – Geometry used to transport cylindrical products in the food sector
5 – AT10 timing belt in FDA-approved 90 shore polyurethane with ground smooth back
6 – The geometries on the back in FDA-approved food-grade PU are available in multiple hardnesses (60, 83, 90 shore)
