Customised conveyor belts for every bakery

A well-designed conveyor belt is more than just transport. It supports daily cleaning, prevents contamination build-up and ensures a reliable production flow.

Reliable transport, every step of the process

In a complex production process, transport seems to go without saying. Products move from one stage of processing to the next, often without anyone giving it a second thought.

Until things go wrong: products shift, pile up or lose their position. This is sometimes due to one of the following causes: minor irregularities in the belt, sub-optimal choice of belt material, or perhaps wear and tear. The belt steers less accurately or starts to slip slightly, causing products to shift relative to the machine. This results in line downtime or a loss of product quality.

Conveyor belts: time for a product-specific solution.

Products such as biscuits, tarts, cakes and bread, whether packaged or not, or placed on a tray: each product requires a different approach on the conveyor belt. In an industrial environment, this must be done reliably, hygienically and efficiently, day in, day out. That is precisely why we develop customised conveyor belts.

Conveyor belts that do more than just move

In many production facilities, machines process all kinds of products at breakneck speed. But without a properly calibrated conveyor belt, the end result remains unpredictable. A deviation of just a few millimetres in positioning can lead to faulty decoration, uneven cuts or stoppages at packaging machines further down the line. When it comes to customised conveyor belts, a whole range of factors come into play:

Your product: The product is always the deciding factor when choosing the right conveyor.
Precision: Crosses or markings on the belt indicate where products should be placed. By using markings on the belt, or by employing encoders or servo drives, the most precise positioning can be achieved.
Hygiene: The conveyor belts meet the strictest food safety requirements and are certified accordingly. Where necessary, the belts are fitted with scrapers and collection trays for residual material to keep the floor clean.
Reliability: The conveyor belts are robustly constructed and made from durable and reliable materials, such as stainless steel frames and hygienic control cabinets, waterproof stainless steel drum motors or plug-in gearboxes.
Flexibility: The design is fully tailored to the customer’s requirements. This includes specific working heights, attachments, adjustable speeds, start and stop controls, and more.
Material selection: The belt material is carefully selected to match the properties and requirements of the product. Factors taken into account include the desired level of friction, the type of scraper, the required belt transition, and the product weight in relation to the belt length. This ensures that the correct combination is always chosen for optimum performance and service life.
Durability: The belt must be able to withstand intensive use without compromising reliability, quality or stability. Furthermore, materials can be reused.

At Rens Bakery Solutions, everything is built in-house

Fully customised solutions, tailored to your needs, for the optimal production line

Every production line is unique. That is why we develop conveyor belts that are fully tailored to the product and the process.

Together with the customer, we assess how products need to move. Where exactly should they be positioned? What speed and positioning ensure a stable flow? The result is a conveyor belt that not only moves products but also enhances the entire production process.

Belt widths, markings and speeds are determined based on the product behaviour on the line and your requirements.

From a single machine to a complete production line, we design the entire system. We always take the product as our starting point. Respecting the craft of baking!

Listening to the customer – that’s something we know all about at Rens Bakery Solutions
