Sugar coated jellies

Sugar coating is common on soft jellies to prevent sticking. The product remains inherently sticky and the sugar releases a loose abrasive grit onto the machinery when handled in bulk. Volta was given the challenge of developing a solution for both issues and fabricated a 2” pitch DualDrive™ belt to replace the modular one that was clogged with product residue. A roof top texture was utilized on both the belt and the cleats to prevent adhesion as well as reducing the abrading motion between the sugar-coated product and the belt.
