Optical sorting machines and scanners are used to detect deviating products and unwanted materials and to remove them from the production process. In particular in the food industry, this equipment forms an important element in the process, due to the fact that scanners can detect deviations much more quickly and precisely than humans.
Bandtransport Europe supplies the right conveyor belts for all scanning and optical sorting equipment. Where applied in the food industry, these conveyor belts do of course meet the strict 'food grade' requirements set by FDA, USDA, 3A and EU. The conveyor belts have a very even thickness and good running properties in order to guarantee optimal performance of the scanning equipment. They often have a profile, to make sure products remain well-positioned during scanning. Bandtransport Europe has its own profiling machine, on which even small pieces of conveyor belt material can be fitted with a profile.
These conveyor belts have good release properties, meaning they retain very little contamination and can be cleaned easily. Conveyor belts for scanning equipment often have contrasting colours, for a good detection by the scanner and here, too, Bandtransport Europe offers a wide range of options. Where scanning equipment operates using UV light, Bandtransport Europe can supply UV-resistant conveyor belts.
