When must a conveyor belt be food approved?
I recently heard someone ask if a conveyor belt used for packaged foodstuffs must be food approved. This is a question that often arises, and so in today’s blog, I will try to provide some clarity.

Do I need an FDA statement or a Declaration of Compliance?
Even before the European rules such as regulation EC 1935/2004 and regulation EU 10/2011 came into force, the FDA regulation already existed in the United States of America. When at that time a conveyor belt complied with FDA rules, people knew it was suitable for the food industry. Thus FDA became a very well-known term in belting and food processing. An FDA-approved conveyor belt was in compliance with all food regulations. Nowadays this is no longer the case.

Habasit Cleanline with cleats
Food industry applications require belts offering excellent release, efficient and easy cleanability, and chemical and hydrolysis resistance for wet and humid environments. TPO belts fit the bill exactly. But until now, food producers have had to use a different type of belt for steeper incline or decline applications due to limitations on adding the accessories necessary for transferring loose products at an angle. Now there is a solution: Habasit® Cleanline belts equipped with cleats for inclines/declines, enabling the same standardized cleaning processes and shorter overall sanitation times.
