White Paper – Timing Belts for Special Conveying, Packaging and Food Processing Applications

Know the Belt Types That Are Best for Special Applications

BRECOflex CO., L.L.C. recommends spliced and welded timing belts for conveying, packaging, and food processing applications knowing that they must exceed the demands of both the

packaging machinery OEMs and end users.  BRECOflex offers timing belts are proven to be the longest lasting and high-quality solution for many applications.

You will find BRECOflex belts in machinery for all phases of the packaging process including processing, handling, filling, sorting, labeling, check weighing, packaging, conveying, and more.  Polyurethane timing belts can be functionally enhanced with backings, coatings and profiles in any custom configuration.

What are the options for packaging and food processing applications?

BRECOflex CO., L.L.C. recommends spliced and welded timing belts conveying, packaging, and food processing applications.  Furthermore, we know that they must exceed the demands of both the packaging machinery OEMs and end users.  BRECOflex offers timing belt solutions that are proven to be the longest lasting and high-quality on the market today.

In our whitepaper, you will find BRECOflex belts in machinery for all phases of the packaging process. This includes processing, handling, filling, sorting, labeling, check weighing, packaging, conveying, and more.  To further improve their functionality, BRECOflex can enhance polyurethane timing belts with backings, coatings and profiles in any custom configuration.

Not all timing belts are alike. In packaging applications, you need specialty timing belts to do the job efficiently.  BRECOflex CO., L.L.C. has your made-to-order solution.  Our polyurethane timing belts can be functionally enhanced with backings, machining, coatings and profiles in any custom configuration for all phases of the packaging process. Plus, our newest special extrusions and innovations are making great improvements in the industry. Read on for an overview of BRECOflex CO., L.L.C. specialty timing belts.

Profiles/Lugs/Cleats

For tasks such as conveying, stepping, indexing, sorting and other similar functions, BRECOflex offers over 5000 profile molds which allow for innovative and high precision design solutions. The polyurethane profiles are welded on with or without weld beads.

Backings

Timing belt backings offer many different frictions and hardnesses for conveying any type of product on both flat and inclined planes. Some applications include labeling, marking, feeding, extruding and accumulating. BRECOflex CO., L.L.C. also offers FDA approved backings for surface contact with food, high temperature applications and reduced friction applications. BRECOflex can modify backings to your specifications.

Form-Fill-Seal

BRECOflex supplies the Form-Fill-Seal timing belts are that are specified by many OEMs such as Bosch, CFS Aquarius, PMB UVA, Rovema, Ishida and more. The available coatings include polyurethane, rubber and silicone. There is no minimum order required.

BRECOprotect®

BRECOprotect® timing belts are designed primarily for the food processing and medical industry. They are particularly suited for wash-down applications because BRECOprotect® belts have fully encapsulated high carbon steel tension members making the belt impervious to water, oils and greases. Furthermore, the blue polyurethane is FDA approved and suited for vision inspection systems.

ATN® Convertible Timing Belts

Sometimes you need the strength of an AT profile with the advantage of quick replacement in the field. ATN® timing belts can be installed quickly without the need to disassemble the machine. Further the ATN Convertible Timing Belt System enables you to attach and configure profiles for conveying applications.

PinLock

Like ATN®, Pinlock timing belts allow you to have quick changes in the field using just a screwdriver. Pinlock belts come in several pitches and widths and can accommodate backings and profiles.

BRECOroll®

BRECOroll® is the solution for slider bed friction and motor fatigue on conveyors. The T20 timing belt has nylon rollers integrated into the teeth which replace sliding friction with rolling friction at approximately half the value (μ <0.2). This innovation will increase belt life while reducing heat and energy consumption.

BRECOvacuum®

Products such as films, paper, glass or sheet metal require vacuum belts to transport them. BRECOvacuum® is manufactured using an extrusion process which results in a lower costing belt compared to systems that use a multi-step process of adhering slide rails and vacuum channels. The result is flexibility in design and virtually no limitation on backing options.

BRECOflex CO., L.L.C. offers many belt types and customizations for conveying applications, food processing applications and packaging automation. Contact us for pricing and technical support.
