Sticky warm candy mass is usually conveyed in narrow strips and conventional plied belts suffer damage from the continuous exposure to heat along that consistent strip. This is accelerated by the effect of cleaning chemicals on this area and the plastic soon delaminates, leaving open fibres in contact with the product. We have been challenged by leading manufacturers of hard candies to refit thermoplastic belts on this application. There is no damage from the heat and belts work without any elongation providing a perfect solution for the industry.
