RRAPPLON® food grade elastic metal detectable belts: your shield against food contaminants

In the food industry, maintaining impeccable hygiene and safety is of paramount importance. You must be aware that sometimes, bits from damaged conveyor belts make their way into the food. If you don’t have safety procedures to detect such bits, they can pose a serious threat to your customers and damage your brand reputation. 

That’s why metal detectable belts are used in food production lines: to make sure any broken belt bits are detected before the food product leaves the production line. 

In certain situations, however, the requirement goes beyond simply having a metal-detectable belt. What becomes essential is a belt that not only detects metal but also possesses qualities of elasticity and adjustability tailored to your specific requirements: different product sizes, conveyor angles, or production line configurations.  

Here’s the good news for any of you seeking metal detectable belts that are also elastic and adjustable to your specific needs. We're introducing RAPPLON® elastic metal detectable belts! 

Elasticity and metal detectability combined 

A standout feature of RAPPLON® belts is their remarkable durability. Thanks to the elastic properties of the material, these belts do not elongate, and the material lays flat and follows the slider shape with precision, eliminating the need for constant re-tensioning. With RAPPLON® belts, it's as simple as fit and forget. 

The new RAPPLON® belts range is exclusively crafted from metal detectable food-grade materials that incorporate a metal-containing masterbatch. These belts can be installed on all conveyors within food processing lines (with one exception—belts on metal detectors). When food products leave RAPPLON® metal detectable belts and pass through the metal detector, any broken belt fragments can be promptly identified, ensuring swift action to prevent contamination. 

Unique material composition to ensure food safety 

The entirety of RAPPLON® food grade elastic metal detectable belts are made from extruded polyurethane. It ensures deep sanitation due to its homogenous food-grade composition. The absence of fabric in the belts eliminates edge fraying, which is a common concern in conventional belts, and guarantees the highest standards of hygiene and safety in food production. 

In addition to their metal-detectable properties, RAPPLON® belts come equipped with QuickSplice Technology, simplifying the splicing process. No glue is involved, and clear and straightforward joining instructions make it accessible for everyone. The result is a safe joint that anyone can splice, enhancing operational efficiency. 

Designed with the specific needs of the food, beverage, and pharmaceutical industries in mind, RAPPLON® metal detectable belts are the solution for experts responsible for selecting conveyor belts that ensure food safety throughout the production process. These belts meet the stringent requirements of EC 1935/2004 and FDA standards, effectively supporting ISO 22000 compliance. This not only ensures the highest level of food safety but also helps in meeting regulatory obligations.
