VOLTA BELTING
Volta belting is tough, versatile, and easy to maintain. The homogeneous, no-ply construction eliminates the need to have edge capping and its non-absorbent material makes the belts bacteria-resistant and impenetrable by most chemicals. These advantages create a belt that performs well in a variety of food processing and general conveying environments.
The food processing industry’s needs are broad and its requirements are stringent. For such challenging needs, the Apache | Trico Industrial Division recommends the Volta homogeneous product line. These belts perform well in a variety of food processing environments. Cheese, poultry, meat, fish, seafood, fruits, vegetables, chocolates, snacks, potatoes, nuts, and bakery facilities are all great places for recommending this product. Volta belting is available in blue or cream, is FDA/USDA approved, and also 3A Dairy certified.

Because these applications require a variety of specifications, this product line offers multiple covers and has a variety of fabrication options. The crescent top and spike top are ideal for chicken slicing lines. Cleated sidewall belts can carry any grouping of food product up most inclines. The meat-cleat and IRT (Rooftop) profiles can be used to elevate the product and allow for runoff, as well as to hold the product in place on light inclines. The Volta homogeneous ITO-50 offers a low profile impression.
VOLTA POSITIVE DRIVE BELTS
Volta positive drive belts are manufactured with materials resistant to cuts and abrasion, thus eliminating places where bacteria can harbor and grow. This makes for easy and efficient cleaning, meaning you save on labor costs and production downtime.
POSITIVE DRIVE BELT FEATURES INCLUDE:
- Extruded integral teeth prevent slippage of belt
- High Flexibility extends operating life
- Smooth homogeneous surface for low bacteria counts, longer shelf life and odor resistance
- Non-sticking smooth or impression top for easy product release
|
- Resistant to water, oil and chemicals unlike PVC and polyurethane belts
- No fabrics or modular components
- Minimal pretension of belt is required
- Reduced water usage, detergent and sewage consumption for lower sanitation costs
- Less cleaning time increases production time
|
POSITIVE DRIVE BELTS ARE AVAILABLE IN THE FOLLOWING TYPES:
|
|
|
DUALDRIVE
- Replaces modular belts with minimal retrofit
- No seams, belt extruded in 100’ straight lengths
- May be used as cleats when teeth face up
|
DUALDRIVE SP (SMALL PULLEY)
