Positive Drive

The two most common mechanical problems that occur running conventional flat belts are Slippage and Off-Tracking. Slippage is the loss of frictional contact on the drive due to moisture, fluids or load. Off-Tracking occurs where the load carried is not evenly distributed across the width of the belt resulting in the belt being pushed to one side.

Volta’s Positive Drive belts have been engineered to utilize two positive drive designs to overcome these main problems. The two designs of drive teeth are engineered to give various drive effects for different applications and uses. They are available in a wide range of choices.

Volta`s Positive Drive Belts

This range has evolved over nearly two decades, guiding companies in food production and the engineering companies that manufacture conveyors, to an improved more hygienic way of conveying products and building systems. The food grade versions form the backbone of many food processing facilities across the globe and combine mechanical and hygienic excellence in one streamlined product. The massive install-base we have accomplished across all sectors of food processing and our dedication to developing top quality thermoplastic belting material has enriched Volta’s in-house knowledge and given us an unparalleled ability to design and customize solutions without compromise.

Widest Range of Positive Drive Belts

The chief designs Volta developed are based on lateral teeth (called DualDrive™) that run the entire belt width and a central tooth design based on one or more rows of teeth (called SuperDrive™). Since 2002, these Volta products have become an indispensable element in the hygienic design of food processing plants as well as providing smart solutions for heavy non-food products, where operating conditions causing heavy wear and tear, off-tracking, and slippage are unacceptable. The entire range can be fabricated to equip elevator/ Z-or swan-necks and other conveyor types. Welding fixtures for splicing these belts on site are available in convenient sizes.

Positive Drive Line

SuperDrive™ (SD)

When you are looking for the ideal solution to help you increase your production rate, simplify the process, slash costs and comply with regulations, it’s time for SuperDrive™!

A Positive Drive belt that solves the key mechanical problems of classic flat belts, namely, slipping and off-tracking, SuperDrive™ helps lower running costs for reduced cost of ownership, requires less hot water, provides less chemical exposure, and reduces cleaning time.

As a result, you have more time and money for production. Perfect!

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.

Cutting Lines

Our TPE bakery conveyor belts are highly resistant to cuts and abrasion.

They are also easily repaired in the event of mechanical damage, making them robust, cost-effective, and literally, the best thing since sliced bread.
