A frozen pizza producer in Ohio was battling unstable product transfers and frequent belt breakages on its sauce and cheese topping lines. The application required a tight 0.25” nosebar transfer, but the competitor's round urethane belts failed to provide adequate grip and kept snapping. This flawed setup led to severe product jams, expensive waste, and constant operator intervention to keep the production moving.

Habasit recommended the HabasitLINK M0870 HighGrip 0.3” belt. This food-approved plastic modular belt features a closed, grooved surface designed to create strong friction and comfortably accommodate nosebar transfers as small as 0.24". Once installed, a single wide belt replaced the multiple round belts, immediately stabilizing product transfers and simplifying daily cleaning routines.

Our high-quality belting solution delivered several benefits, including:

  • 100% reduction in the transfer gaps that previously caused product jams and loss.
  • Projected annual maintenance and production savings totaling $39,000.
  • Annual labor savings of an estimated 520 hours due to reduced cleaning and operator intervention.

What production challenges are holding you back? Habasit can help.
