Does your belt absorb fats, deteriorate with brine or fail audits?
Conventional PVC belts are not suitable for the meat industry. Their plasticizers migrate to the product, their porous surface retains fat and bacteria, and their chemical resistance fails against brines, organic acids and high-pH alkaline detergents.
- PVC plasticizer migration to meat product
- Porous surface retaining fat and promoting biofilm
- Premature deterioration with high-temperature CIP cleaning
- Non-compliance with NOM-251 or FSSC 22000 audits
- Misalignment from deformation under heavy products
PU belt designed for meat, poultry and deli products
The meat industry requires belts that withstand direct contact with animal protein, fat, blood, brine and aggressive cleaning products. PU belt is the only solution meeting all these requirements simultaneously.
Why PU and not PVC in the meat industry
- No plasticizers — zero migration according to FDA 21 CFR and NOM
- Homogeneous pore-free surface — no fat retention or bacterial biofilm
- Resistant to animal fats, organic acids and alkaline detergents up to pH 13
- Working temperature -40°C to +80°C — suitable for deboning, cutting and freezing tunnels
- Cleaning with hot water, steam and CIP without surface degradation
- High cut resistance — tolerates contact with blades in deboning lines
Configurations specific to meat processing
Smooth surface: For deboning and filleting requiring controlled product slip.
Rough surface (R2/anti-slip): For inclines in packaging lines or elevating heavy pieces.
With lateral guides: To maintain product alignment in automatic cutting lines.
Two-color: Facilitates visual detection of wear before end of belt life.
With textile reinforcement: For heavy loads on carcass or half-carcass lines.
Applicable regulations in Mexico
In Mexico the meat industry is regulated by NOM-251-SSA1-2009 (Hygiene Practices for Food Processing) and US export requirements (FDA 21 CFR, USDA FSIS). Our PU belt complies with both regulatory frameworks.
