Cageless spiral conveyor for bakery duties
A new cageless spiral system conveyor belt called CamEdge, designed for equipment used in bakery applications, has been introduced by metal conveyor belt manufacturer Cambridge Engineered Solutions. It is designed for cooling and proofing processes, but is also functional for freezers and chillers.
Positively driven and low in tension, the edge-driven spiral system belt makes use of a drive link on the outer edges that reduces component flexing during sprocket engagement. This extends belt life.
Furthermore, the stainless steel belt’s hold-down tabs eliminate ‘Christmas treeing’ (lifting) associated with traditional spiral designs, which prevents the possibility of catastrophic failure.
“As manufacturing footprint optimisation becomes more important, bakers can choose spiral conveyors using CamEdge that allow coils, fans and conditioning systems to be placed in the centre of the conveyor,” says Cambridge’s sales director, Mike Truitt.
