Maximum efficiency, hygiene and operational safety through dry steam technology
Conveyor belts are constantly in use and transport most diverse materials – from food and plastic granules to metal parts or packaging.
To ensure safe and uninterrupted production, the conveyor belts and surrounding components must be cleaned regularly. At the same time, the cleaning process is expected to be fast, highly-effective, safe, resource-efficient and reproducible.
In practice, however, conveyor belt cleaning is often a costly, error-prone and time-intensive process.
Typical challenges:
- Product residues and layers of dirt that lead to quality defects and hygiene risks.
- Deposits on the underside of belts, guides, rollers and wheels, which lead to increased wear and tear or malfunctions.
- Unscheduled downtimes, as conventional cleaning methods require a lot of time, personnel and dismantling.
- Water-based cleaning, which can damage electrical components, sensors and drives or cause corrosion.
- Use of chemicals is expensive, requires additional safety precautions and pollutes the environment.
- Long drying times, which delay recommissioning.
- Hygiene risks, particularly in the food and pharmaceutical sectors (biofilms, microbial load).
Dry steam cleaning – the new standard for clean and safe conveyor belt systems
Dry steam technology offers clear advantages in conveyor belt cleaning – both technically and economically.
Advantages:
- Cleaning with minimal moisture content
No corrosion, no damage to drive, electrical components or sensors
Ideal for hygiene-sensitive sectors - Highly effective and precise
Removes grease, oil, sugar, starch, plastic abrasion particles, flour, dust, granules and micro-
contaminants
Perfect for smooth, studded, textured or modular belts - Reduces germs and biofilms
Hygienically safe cleaning without aggressive disinfectants, supports HACCP and IFS
requirements - Cleaning without dismantling
Many systems can be cleaned during operation or with short stop-and-go intervals
Greatly reduced downtime periods. - Fewer resources – lower costs
No or minimal use of chemicals
Significantly less water consumption
Shorter cleaning cycles = noticeable cost reduction - Longer service life of equipment
Protection of strip materials, rollers and guides
Avoidance of abrasive mechanical cleaning
- Reinigung mit minimaler Feuchtigkeit
Keine Korrosion, keine Schäden an Antrieb, Elektrik oder Sensorik
Ideal für hygienesensible Branchen - Tiefenwirksam und präzise
Entfernt Fett, Öl, Zucker, Stärke, Plastikabrieb, Mehl, Staub, Granulat und Mikroverschmutzungen
Perfekt für glatte, genoppte, strukturierte oder modulare Bänder - Reduziert Keime und Biofilme
Hygienisch sichere Reinigung ohne aggressive Desinfektionsmittel, Unterstützt HACCP- und IFS-Vorgaben - Reinigung ohne Demontage
Viele Anlagen können im laufenden Betrieb oder mit kurzem Stop-and-Go gereinigt werden
Massiv reduzierte Stillstandzeiten - Weniger Ressourcen – weniger Kosten
Kein oder minimaler Einsatz von Chemie
Deutlich weniger Wasserverbrauch
Kürzere Reinigungszyklen = spürbare Kostensenkung - Längere Lebensdauer der Anlagen
Schonung von Bandmaterialien, Rollen und Führungen
Vermeidung abrasiver mechanischer Reinigung
Sectors in which dry steam offers particularly great advantages:
- Food production / meat, fish, baked goods, fruits & vegetables
- Packaging industry
- Logistics & distribution
- Plastic extrusion & granules production
- Recycling & sorting plants
- Metal processing
- Pharmaceuticals & cosmetics
