Does your belt absorb grease, accumulate flour or deform with heat?
Bakery lines combine flour, vegetable oils, steam, oven heat and frequent washing. No material handles all of that better than polyurethane. PU belt does not absorb flours, resists vegetable oils and withstands oven-exit temperatures up to +120°C.
- Flour accumulation on belt surface
- Vegetable oil impregnation deteriorating PVC
- Deformation from temperature at oven exit
- Difficulty cleaning between production shifts
- Cross-contamination between different flavor lines
The standard belt in Mexico's tortilla and bakery industry
Mexico is one of the world's largest producers of tortilla, sliced bread and industrial biscuits. Modern lines in these industries require belts tolerating flour, oil, heat, moisture and frequent CIP cleaning.
Why PU in industrial bakery
- Does not absorb flours — homogeneous surface easy to brush or blow between shifts
- Resistant to vegetable oils (palm, soy, sunflower) without belt degradation
- Working temperature up to +120°C — withstands direct rotary oven exit
- Easy cleaning with hot water, food-grade detergents and steam
- Food direct contact compliant per FDA 21 CFR and Mexican NOMs
- Long service life — reduces line stoppages and belt replacement costs
Configurations for tortilla and bread lines
Non-stick surface (R0/smooth): For soft doughs and tortillas that must not stick to the belt.
Textured rough surface (R2): For inclines on bread or biscuit elevators.
With transverse cleats: For inclined packaging lines with packaged products.
Heat splice without mechanical fastener: For food contact lines where mechanical splices retain flour.
White or blue color: For visual contamination detection and hygiene standard compliance.
Applications in the Mexican tortilla industry
The tortilla industry is one of the largest consumers of PU belts in Mexico. Automatic corn and wheat tortilla lines require belts supporting hot dough at oven exit, fried oil contact and cleaning between shifts.
