Belt Cleaner for Food Processing Industries

Flexco, the world’s leading light-duty endless splicing and fastener solutions provider, has launched a Belt Cleaner for Food Processing Industries. The new FGP Food Grade Precleaner, helps reduce carryback (sticky food residue) and prevents bacteria growth on the conveyor, reducing the risk of product contamination. The FGP Food Grade Precleaners, which are now available with a metal detectable grey blade, will be installed on two running conveyors carrying raw food ingredients. For food processing industry, it is important to have a metal detectable blade as many food processing facilities require metal detectable plastics in the food contact zone. This can be assembled and disassembled quickly in less than a minute to improve manufacturing efficiencies for cleaning and sanitisation routines. The cleaner has a spring tensioner that can be easily adjusted to ensure optimal blade-to-belt contact, which minimizes blade wear and maximizes the cleaning capabilities. The FGP Food Grade Precleaners are FDA approved and USDA Certified for Meat & Poultry and Dairy applications. The new grey metal detectable blade also works on any belt from 100 mm to 1500 mm (4" to 60"). Flexco is the world’s single source for light duty endless and mechanical belt splicing solutions. The company is based in Downers Grove, Illinois and operates subsidiaries in Australia, Chile, China, England, Germany, India, Mexico, Singapore, and South Africa.
