Teflon-conveyor-belt

Teflon conveyor belt has a surface that can be easy to clean up. This is beneficial when processing foods and improves the life span of the belt.

There  are many applications that require a conveyor belt that has the technical components to withstand high temperatures and perform in environments that other belts cannot. 

In order to work in extreme conditions we use Teflon (also referred to as PTFE) as this provides a stable surface that will not change under elevated temperatures. 

These are also available as Teflon mesh conveyor belt which is highly applicable for dryers, UV Curing machines, textile industry, shrink wrap machines, glass printing, automobile and other industries. 

Key benefits:

  • Excellent release properties, even for sticky foods, such as flour-based doughs, and for sugar-coated or sugar-based products, e.g., doughnuts or chocolate
  • Very low friction – high abrasion resistance
  • Working temperatures:
    • Heat resistant up to +260 °C
    • Cold resistant down to -70 °C
  • Chemically inert
  • Easy cleaning due to non-stick PTFE coating
  • FDA Food Grade compliant

Applications:

  • High-temperature or open-flame ovens (e.g. pita & piadina bread)
  • Non-stick applications
  • Press-baking processes (e.g. tortillas, pizza bases, flatbreads)
  • Cryogenic freezing chambers

Baking

Unique teflon conveyor belt is the smart solution for a wide variety of baking processes. Flour-based products can be conveyed safely and efficiently through ovens at temperatures up to +260 °C.

Excellent release properties mean that baked goods are transferred easily and undamaged, reducing mess and waste and boosting hygiene.

Cryogenic freezing
Our PTFE belts are ideal for use in cryogenic freezing, a food processing technology that is rapidly gaining popularity next to mechanical food freezing.

Where should I use PTFE (Teflon) instead of Silicone?

PTFE (Teflon) would be a preferred option where the surface needs to be tough. Also in applications where hot oils and fats maybe presented to the conveyor belt surface.
