TPU & TPE belts for food industry
Complete range of belts to cover all the needs in the food industry
Main characteristics and benefits of our TPU and TPE belts in food processing
Belts of 1-ply and 2-ply which comply strictly with FDA food normative and/or EU regulations EU 10/2011 and EC 1935/2004, supported by their corresponding Declaration of Compliance.
Both TPU and TPE are thermoplastics with high resistance to abrasion and are suitable for applications where the products are abrasive or where scrapers and side skirts are used.
The smooth and mat cover belts are non-porous and are easy to clean. Paradise also offers belts with topcover embossments.
Above average load capacity but high flexibility for knife edge applications. The impermeabilized fabrics are “Wick Resistant” which prevent the absorption of liquids (pass Wicking Test G11), enhancing hygiene.
