Representatives from Intralox, L.L.C. will display their latest innovations in hygienic belting and spiral solutions for conveyance in the seafood industry at stand number 5455 at the Seafood Processing Europe exhibition.
Intralox is a global manufacturer that invented modular plastic conveyor belting for use in the seafood industry. Intralox has successfully equipped machines for seafood cooking, steaming, cleaning, sorting, and conveying for over 30 years.
Intralox provides solutions for the specific challenges that seafood processors face. The Nub Top™ belt surface was designed to successfully lift food products away from the belt’s surface, preventing sticking. The award-winning Series 400 Angled Roller™ belt provides a reliable, proven platform for aligning, sorting, and merging seafood products.
Intralox spiral solutions reduce product sticking and eliminate common contamination issues such as black specks from metal belts. On display at the show will be new products in the revolutionary line of Spiralox™ belting that cut product waste in half and reduce maintenance and downtime costs by 75%.
Intralox’s Clean Team continues to deliver conveyor sanitation technology. On display will be the Series 1650 SeamFree™ Minimum Hinge Flat Top that was designed to meet the ever-increasing hygiene and sanitation requirements of the food industry. With the launch of the Series 1650 SeamFree™, the proven benefits of the Series 850 SeamFree™ Minimum Hinge Flat Top are now accessible in applications with transfers as tight as 1.5 inches (38mm).
The Series 1650 Minimum Hinge Flat Top belt was engineered to create greater hinge and rod exposure around the sprocket, thereby enhancing cleaning access. With 75% fewer hinges, the Series 1650 is designed for thorough and faster cleaning. Additional features for effective sanitation include the patent-pending flume design and drive bar mechanism, which effectively channel water and debris to the belt edges, preventing sprockets from pressing debris into hinges. The drive bar’s effectiveness has been proven in both in-house and field tests.
When used in conjunction with the Intralox EZ Clean In Place system and Angled Sprocket, cleaning time and water usage are reduced by as much as 65%, compared to manual cleaning. The Series 1650 SeamFree Minimum Hinge Flat Top belt features 18-inch (457mm) modules that create a smooth upper surface with fully flush edges and recessed rods. Higher beam strength enhances belt rigidity.
