Food-grade textiles
We offer our customers tailor-made belt solutions for a wide range of applications, such as the conveying, forming, fermentation, dehydration, washing and drying of various foods.
Our belts for the bakery industry, for instance, absorb moisture to a certain extent so that the dough pieces can be easily removed from the belt surface. Furthermore, the belts must be easy to clean and seams and edges must be very wear-resistant.
Materials used in food-contact applications must fulfill requirements that are defined in EU Commission Regulation 1935/2004 and 10/2011 as well as in US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) regulations. For these specific applications involving direct food contact, Heimbach supplies products that conform to the beforementioned standards.
