Food and Specialty Good Industry

Download Food & Specialty Goods Brochure

Berndorf Band is one of the world's leading manufacturers of high quality transport and process belts for the food and specialty goods industry.

When it comes to baking, cooling, deep-freezing, steaming, drying and transporting food, steel belts are often exposed to extreme mechanical and thermal stress. Berndorf Band steel belts are made to match these high requirements. They prove high quality and reliability even at fluctuating operating temperatures and a high number of load cycles. It goes without saying that Berndorf Band belts meet strictest hygienic requirements. The belts are characterized by perfect flatness and abrasion resistance as well as by their straight tracking.

Due to these properties Berndorf Band steel belts represent the perfect component for the food and specialty goods industry.

CARBO 13 a reliable base for bakery products

Due to CARBO 13 a Berndorf belt for baked goods can easily handle operating temperatures of up to 400° C. The uniform dark, heat-absorbing surface ensures highest product quality and optimal energy efficiency. Strictest hygienic requirements are met, of course.

Chocolate prefers CARBO 32 from Berndorf Band

Berndorf Band has not only been producing steel belts for the chocolate-manufacturing industry for more than two decades, but offers with the martensitic steel CARBO 32 a transport belt with a lot of advantages:

  • easy weldability
  • high resistance against abrasion and deformation,
  • strictest hygienic requirements are met due to the smooth belt surface, which is also extremely hard
  • perfect vee-rope adhesion guaranteed
  • high level of fatigue strength under bending stress

Vee-ropes and product retaining strips

Both, process and transport belts, can be provided with vee-ropes and/or product retaining strips. Berndorf Band guarantees perfect adhesion of vee-ropes and product retaining strips within a wide range of operating temperatures. This makes Berndorf Band steel belts to an excellent base for food.

Material of vee-ropes

  • Natural or nitrile rubber (standard) for operating temperatures from -20°C up to +100°C
  • Natural rubber for operating temperatures from -60°C up to +60°C
  • Spiral vee-rope made of stainless steel for operating temperatures exceeding +100°C

Material of product retaining strips

  • Nitrile rubber for operating temperatures from -20°C up to +100°C
  • Natural rubber for operating temperatures from -60°C up to +60°C
  • Silicone rubber for operating temperatures from -80°C up to +200°C
