Scrapers are often a required system component in the Food Industry. Food items can stick to different types of process and/or conveying belts, even to belts with non-stick properties. For this reason, and because cleaning efficiency and effectiveness are key Food Industry issues, scrapers are used.
Metal-detectable and antimicrobial scrapers are useful in further promoting hygiene and efficient food processing
Challenges
- Some scrapers don't clean efficiently
- Scrapers can wear out quickly
- If there are positioning issues, scrapers can cause maintenance problems or even damage belts
- Depending on the material used to make the scraper, food quality can be affected
Solution
Ammeraal Beltech’s UltraScraper, made of high-quality co-extruded materials, was designed to be used on most conveyor frames and provides the following advantages:
- Metal detectable for increased Food Safety
- Excellent cleaning effectiveness, thanks to the UltraScraper’s soft-lip feature (aligned to belt hardness)
- Antimicrobial properties using silver ion technology to reduce bacterial build-up
- Longer belt and scraper lifetime (less stress on the belt and splice from the scraper)
- Suitable for different belt types (Synthetic, Homogeneous or Modular Belts)
- Compliant with EC 1935/2004 and with FDA Food Grade regulations
