Customer story

A leading snack producer cut maintenance, reduced sanitation hours, and eliminated belt failures with Habasit’s CNB‑6EB‑A1, saving over $50k annually.

Reliable tracking and superior release with advanced fabric belting

A North American snack producer was experiencing ongoing belt issues on its granola and protein bar lines. The competitor’s 1‑ply belt frequently mistracked, yellowed, formed crease lines after sanitation, and struggled with product release, resulting in inspection failures, frequent replacements, and long cleaning cycles.

The CNB‑6EB‑A1 belt solves the customer challenges

To resolve these problems, the customer needed a food‑approved belt for tight nosebars that offered stronger lateral stability and improved release. Habasit supplied the CNB‑6EB‑A1, a durable 2‑ply belt with a modified polyolefin coating that resists fold marks, maintains tracking, prevents yellowing, and enhances product release.

After installation, the CNB‑6EB‑A1 delivered immediate improvements. The belt lasted twice as long as the previous solution, eliminated mistracking, and significantly reduced sanitation time thanks to its non‑stick surface and added lateral strength.

The upgraded belting solution delivered several key benefits:

$12,000 annual reduction in maintenance due to fewer belt replacements.
600 fewer sanitation hours, generating $36,000 in labor savings.
Additional value through competitive pricing and extended belt lifetime.
Total annual savings exceeded $50,000.
