Not All BLUE Belts Are Created Equal
Volta introduces DR Material Belts, engineered for demanding wet, acidic, chlorinated, and high-moisture processing environments. Designed to deliver longer belt life, stronger performance, and reduced cost of ownership, DR material helps processors improve reliability where standard materials may crack, weaken, or fail prematurely.
In aggressive food processing environments, belt performance is critical. Exposure to moisture, sanitizers, acidic ingredients, oils, PAA, and Javel water can shorten belt life and increase maintenance demands.
Volta’s DR Material Belts are developed to meet these challenges with advanced hydrolysis resistance and proven strength. In accelerated lab testing against five leading competing materials, DR material delivered leading results across key performance categories, including hydrolytic stability, material strength, creep resistance, abrasion resistance, and fatigue testing.
The results highlight DR material’s ability to withstand difficult production conditions while maintaining belt integrity.
- DR material demonstrated up to 44% greater material strength
- up to 83% stronger creep resistance
- 35% less particle loss from abrasion compared with the tested competition range
- DR material also passed fatigue testing at room temperature and at -22.5°C / -8.6°F, while competing materials showed fissures and cracks.
