Because these applications require a variety of specifications, this product line offers multiple covers and has a variety of fabrication options. The crescent top and spike top are ideal for chicken slicing lines. Cleated sidewall belts can carry any grouping of food product up most inclines. The meat-cleat and IRT (Rooftop) profiles can be used to elevate the product and allow for runoff, as well as to hold the product in place on light inclines. The Volta homogeneous ITO-50 offers a low profile impression.

 

Volta Belting

Volta belting is tough, versatile, and easy to maintain. The homogeneous, no-ply construction eliminates the need to have edge capping and its non-absorbent material makes the belts bacteria-resistant and impenetrable by most chemicals. These advantages create a belt that performs well in a variety of food processing and general conveying environments.

Volta Positive Drive Belting

Volta positive drive belts are manufactured with materials resistant to cuts and abrasion, thus eliminating places where bacteria can harbor and grow. This makes for easy and efficient cleaning, meaning you save on labor costs and production downtime.

Positive drive belt features include:

  • Extruded integral teeth prevent slippage of belt
  • Smooth homogeneous surface for low bacteria counts, longer shelf life and odor resistance
  • High flexibility extends operating life
  • Non-sticking smooth or impression top for easy product release

 

Positive drive belts are available in the following types:

Dual Drive

  • Replaces modular belts with minimal retrofit
  • No seams, belt extruded in 100’ straight lengths
  • May be used as cleats when teeth face up

Dual Drive SP (Small Pulley)

  • Provides tight transfer of product between conveyors
  • Requires lighter conveyor construction

SuperDrive™

  • Utilized primarily on newer OEM equipment
  • One solid lug in center of the conveyor
