Thanks to our wide range of products, we can always offer our customers a suitable solution - no matter what challenge they are facing. Some time ago, a producer of muesli bars approached us with the following situation: he was faced with the problem of having to clean his chocolate enrobing system frequently. The reason for this was the crumbs that were produced during production and were getting into the system.

Ideal in front of enrobing machines
Rod network belts for more permeability
Together, they therefore decided to replace the previous closed PU conveyor belt with a rod network belt. Thanks to the open structure of this belt, loose crumbs can be removed in advance, preventing them from entering the enrobing system in the first place. This significantly reduces the number of cleaning breaks and therefore saves considerable costs.
Rod network belts: Hygienic and versatile
Our rod network belts are made from either spring steel, stainless steel or our innovative K2390 material and are, of course, approved for foodstuffs in accordance with Regulation (EC) 1935/2004. As already mentioned, these conveyor belts are characterised by a permeable structure. This makes them ideal for enrobing, glazing and scattering processes as well as for use in ovens, cooling tunnels, soldering systems and drying channels.
The ECO rod network belt is the economical recommendation for standard applications, while the ELT version (Extended Life Time) is the right choice for higher loads. Here, additional short individual meshes provide additional nodes and thus increased stability. In addition, belt changes can be carried out more quickly - splicing times can be reduced by up to 80 %. If changes of direction are required, we offer these conveyor belts as rod network corner belts.
