The customer
DMD SRL, based in Timoline di Corte Franca (BS), Italy, specializes in the development and production of conveyor belts for a wide range of industrial applications. The company serves multiple markets, including food processing, automation, plastics, and recycling.
DMD focuses on application-specific conveyor solutions designed for demanding operating conditions.
Application
In this application, conveyor belts transport ice cubes inside a cold chamber at −20 °C. The conveyor's purpose is not only to transport the ice cubes, but also to allow them to dry evenly after production.
Sufficient airflow around the product during conveying is essential to achieve the desired drying effect.
The operating conditions are demanding. The belt must perform reliably in extremely low temperatures, with constant moisture exposure and under continuous mechanical load. At the same time, it must maintain dimensional stability to ensure a smooth, uninterrupted conveying process in the freezing environment.

Our belt solution
Forbo delivered the right solution with Siegling Prolink Series 10, specifically the S10-36 FLT PP-HA LB belt.
The wide open belt structure promotes effective air circulation, allowing the ice cubes to dry uniformly during transport. At the same time, the belt provides the required strength and stability for reliable operation at −20 °C.
This combination of open design and robust construction makes Siegling Prolink Series 10 particularly well suited for conveyor applications in deep-freeze environments.
The result
The end customer is extremely satisfied with the outcome. The ice cubes are perfectly dry after the conveying process.
Thanks to the large open area and mechanical strength of the Siegling Prolink Series 10 belt, it reliably meets the requirements of this application and confirms its suitability for low-temperature food processing environments.
From food to automation, every application places different demands on modular belts. Forbo combines application expertise with a broad portfolio to deliver the right solution for your production process.
