より安全な食品のための最適なベルト

より安全な食品のための最適なベルト:コンベヤベルトシステムで食品安全を確保する

食品メーカーは、2つのレベルで汚染と闘っています。1つ目は粒子またはそれ以下のレベルで、汚染は多くの場合細菌によるものですが、比較的無害でありながら望ましくないもの(ボトル入り飲料水によく含まれる、どこにでもある微小なプラスチック粒子など)である場合もあります。

2つ目のレベルは異物と呼ばれます。

食品加工における異物混入を理解する

この2種類の汚染の境界は紙一重です。生産者にとって、2 mmを超える異物がひとつの目安であり、7 mmを超えるものは別のカテゴリーとなります。その判断は、硬い物体がリスクのない集団に与えうる損害に基づいています。

異物には、ボルトのように農場から食卓までの過程のどこかで食品に混入する外因性のものと、食肉中の骨片のような内因性のものがあります。その発生源は多岐にわたり、野菜に混じった石、昆虫やげっ歯類などの害虫、食品残渣、機械の破損部品、さらには意図的な妨害行為まであります。

異物混入を防ぐ

異物を防ぐための手段は、食品加工のさまざまな段階で講じられています。フィルター、磁気除去装置、スクリーンなどの機械的手段や、X線、金属検出機などの検出装置です。消費者の安全と食品加工業者の評判は、これにかかっています。

異物管理のもうひとつの側面は、加工中に食品と接触する空間、設備、素材を正しく設計・選定することです。これには、加工中の食品に異物が落下しないよう工場の開放部分を覆うことや、コンベヤに関しては、容易に破片化しないベルト素材を使用することが含まれます。

食品安全を強化するVoltaの食品グレード・金属検出可能なコンベヤベルト

Dough Pump Conveyors

Dough pump conveyors are used to process raw dough in large-scale production bakeries.

These conveyors elevate dough at a sharp incline and commonly use plied belts with bottom guides. Due to uneven loads, bakery belts often suffer from off-tracking, and slippage, which can cause fraying, tearing and the need for belt tension, leading to belt failure. A retrofit to
SuperDrive™ solves all of that, making raw dough production… as easy as pie.

Narrow Transfers

Bakery lines often incorporate small pulley diameters and static ‘knife edge’ nose bars. When selecting the right belt for your business, make sure to measure the diameter/radius and, to note the wrapping angle.

Our bakery conveyor belts are specifically tailored for biscuit and pizza base cutting lines, helping make dough production simple and efficient.
