Hanover, July 3, 2019 – A Friction Top option has been added to the Prolink Series 10 modular belting product line. This expands the broad range of available belt types available for Forbo’s industry-leading, easy-to-clean Series 10 modular belts.
Forbo Movement Systems’ Prolink modular belt series 10 offers superior hygiene, durability, perfect tooth engagement, a wide range of uses and is easy to clean. A new type with a pitch of 25.4 mm/1 inch has now been added to this series: Prolink S10-0 made of polypropylene with Friction Top (FRT1).
Friction Top 1” pads (FRT1) are flat, rubber-like grips that keep a firm hold on products during conveying. In series 10, the FRT surface is particularly large and the innovative design also makes the belt easy to clean and therefore more hygienic.
Reliable Conveying with New Modular Belt Type’s Large Friction Top Surface
The Friction Top surface consists of modules with flat, co-injection molded rubber material that provides a firm grip on the conveyed products. The Friction Top surface is large and flat to optimize the grip. In addition, the innovative belt design makes the belt exceptionally easy-to-clean and hence, more hygienic.
Prolink S10-0 FRT belts are ideal for packaging systems in a variety of food segments, e.g. dough processing, meat, poultry and seafood processing, etc. Inclined conveying of bread and bread rolls in bakery packaging systems is one example. Series 10-0 FRT1 is an excellent choice when easy-to-clean 1” pitch conveyor belts with Friction Top surface are required.
The series 10 FRT surfaces (beige, blue and black) comply with FDA and EU specifications. A special manufacturing method guarantees that the FRT surface and the module (PP) are securely connected with one another. The new series 10 modular belts come with different belt and Friction Top color combinations such as white with a beige FRT, light blue with a black FRT and light blue with a blue FRT.
