Das Band verbindet das Zerlegeband mit den Verpackungslinien. „Die glatte, harte Oberfläche von Stahlbändern bietet Vorteile in mehrfacher Hinsicht”, erläu-tert Michael Steinsträter, Geschäftsführer von ITEC, einem mittelständischen Anla-genhersteller, der den neuen Förderer bei Schröders konstruiert hat. Es gibt keine Löcher, Texturen oder Fa-sern, welche das Wachstum von Bakte- ped with steel belts have a long service life and low maintenance requirements, which translates into significant cost savings. According to Mr Steinsträter, this combi-nation of high standards of hygiene and significant operational savings makes steel belt lines “the obvious first-choice solution” for meat dismembering facili-ties. And these are exactly the advanta-ges that convinced Michael Schröders, owner of Schröders GmbH, to decide for the steel belt conveying technology. “When it comes to hygiene in a dismem-bering operation, steel belts are supe-rior Transport & Logistik Transport & Logistics Automatisierungstechnik Intralogistik/Lagertechnik Rohrbahnfördertechnik Behälter-/Kartonfördertechnik Zerlegetechnik Sonderlösungen Maschinenbau Helmers GmbH Dörfel Lebensmitteltechnik GmbH&Co.KG Fürstenauer Weg 70 49090 Osnabrück Tel: 0541-139020 info@maschinenbau-helmers.de www.maschinenbau-helmers.de to any other belt material. We are a supplier of high quality products, which means excellent hygiene and cleaning performance is of utmost significance,“ he emphasizes. “The design of the steel belt conveying system has been another important factor. Its compact form and small-size return pulleys meant it could be easily integrated into the existing in-frastructure of the operation.“ The renaissance of steel belt conveyors for use with meat dismembering systems is closely related to the new design of steel belt equipment. “The space requirement of equipment plays a decisive role in mo-dern operations,“ said Alois Alexander, Senior Belt Supervisor at Sandvik Process Systems. “State-of-the art steel belt lines are much more compact than before. This is primarily due to a reduction in the size of return pulley diameters. Nowadays, the design of steel belt systems enables them to be sited wherever they are needed in a facility.“ If you’re interested in the eco-nomical and hygienic benefits of retro-fitting steel belts to your conveying and dismembering lines, ITEC and Sandvik Process Systems would be pleased to provide practical advice and support. www.sandvik.com/steelbelts 2/2015 25
