個性豊かなジャガイモ

フライドポテトはとても食べやすく、まさに理想的なフィンガーフードです。1本だけでやめるのは難しく、米国だけでも毎年45億ポンドを超えるフライドポテトが消費されています。手軽でおいしく食べられる一方で、食卓に届くまでの加工にはさまざまな課題があります。

フライドポテトがまだ生で濡れている間は、表面張力によってベルトに張り付きやすく、製品がヘッドプーリーを回り込んで床に落ちてしまいます。 かつては、 ヘッドプーリーに水を噴霧したり、エアジェットでポテトをベルトから吹き飛ばそうとしたりして対処していました。水はますます高価になり、今では有限な資源と考えられています。そのため、野菜業界全体で、この粘着性に対処する別の方法が必要とされています。

ITO-50テクスチャを備えたVoltaのSuperDrive™なら、ポテトがベルトから簡単に離れます。他の手間のかかる方法は不要です。このテクスチャは洗浄しやすく、Voltaのあらゆる食品グレード素材のメリットを備えています。

フライドポテト加工のもうひとつの課題は、ジャガイモが加工工場に荷下ろしされる際、大量の土、砂、泥、つる、石が混ざっていたり付着していたりすることです。こうした「混入物」は、激しい摩耗など、コンベヤに非常に深刻な損傷を与えることがあります。 

さらに、モジュラーベルトを使用している場合、受け入れや洗浄の際にジャガイモが自由落下することでベルト素材が破損することがあります。そうなると、プラスチック部品がジャガイモに混入し、危険箇所が生じます。 

Volta Beltingは、ホッパー、シュート、パイプなどに透明・半透明の成形品を含む、均質な食品グレード素材を使用しています。この柔軟な素材は成形に最適で、ジャガイモの受け入れシュートや、やさしく移送することで打撲を防げるその他の箇所に使用されています。ベルト素材が落下する製品の衝撃を吸収し、ロスや不良品を防ぎます。

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.
