Intralox Series 1800 Flat Top belt
The Series 1800's easy-to-clean design enables customers to perform fast, thorough cleanup in less time with reduced costs. The large 2.5" belt pitch and 1" transverse (distance between the hinges) pitch equals 50% fewer hinge pockets overall and the hinge openings are large enough to allow spray to reach both top and bottom surfaces. The "Camlink" hinges are sculpted and beveled, opening up the hinge areas as the belt wraps around sprockets. The belt's drive bar runs the full width of the belt, forcefully channeling wash water and debris off the surface. The belt's surfaces are radiused and smooth with no sharp corners to catch debris or harbor bacteria growth. The EZ Clean sprockets that have long demonstrated their contribution to "cleanability" are also available with the new belt.
In order to achieve greater impact resistance, the Series 1800 modules are a "beefy" 0.750" (19.1 mm) thick with overall deck thickness of 0.350" (8.9 mm). The drive bar on the underside also adds to overall belt rigidity providing more support on the carryways. The results from extensive comparison impact testing show the Series 1800 Flat Top to be far and away the most impact resistant modular plastic conveyor belt on the market.
Some attributes of the new Series 1800 Flat Top may seem familiar, as it is based on the industry standard Series 800 Flat Top belt. Meat and poultry processors asked for "…a belt just like the 800, but with more strength for extreme heavy duty applications". With the help of their customers, Intralox has developed such a belt. And it also reduces cleanup time.
