Techlam ptfe film laminates have great advantages when used as food processing conveyor belts.
The material itself can be used in two main food production sectors being bread and dough products or fat frying and grilling applications.
Flat bread and dough
Examples of dough and bread production are demonstrated with the use of laminate belt when processing Tortilla breads and other flat breads. The tough laminated surface benefits over standard materials due to its ability to resist the resulting puncture of the belts surface from hard spots of dough being squashed under pressure from the top press platen. The result of this superior resistance of coated fabrics is a much longer life meaning les change over time and high production output.
Grilling and fat frying
This is where Techlam ptfe coated laminates really come in to their own. The non porous film layer that is laminated to the ptfe coated glass cloth surface couldn’t be more suited to these applications as they form a perfect barrier between the otherwise absorbent ptfe surface and the hot ingressive fat ever present on the belts surface when grilling or frying. In a huge amount of cases where laminated products have been used in place of conventional ptfe coated glass cloths life spans have seen weeks as opposed to days as with standard materials.
