Rexnord Introduces Modular Conveyor Belt

Rexnord has introduced a reinforced version of the Cambridge Metal Modular conveyor belt, designed to carry even heavier product weights suitable for impact loading and pasteurization processes.

Engineered with stainless steel, its characteristics help increase hygiene and food safety while decreasing time, costs and energy necessary to meet sanitation protocols, according to the company’s announcement.

The modular-style, detectable conveyor belt has a fastener-free, integrated flight design that eliminates food contamination issues, says Rexnord. The new reinforced model is 2.5x stronger than the original Metal Modular. Made with .098 wire gauge and heavier re-bars, the new Metal Modular can support greater loads, while still offering the same customization options during the manufacturing process.

“There has been a tremendous response to the initial Metal Modular rollout during the first half of the year and now customers are seeking to use it for broader food industry manufacturing applications,” explains Rexnord. The new reinforced model can be used with baking and snacks products.

Customer applications for the belt now include raw and finished products, horizontal and inclined conveying, transfers, cooling, dewatering, washers, dryers, cookers up to 400 degrees, bagging, and pack-outs.
