Food Vacuum Belt Drying

Vacuum Belt Drying

One of our VBD customers came to us with a need to increase their productivity and energy efficiency and decrease their spending on belts. Their vacuum drying belts are wide and long and belt elongation issues were impacting the drying process, causing increased downtime to open and re-align the belts and also causing energy wastage to recreate the vacuum on each occasion for the drying process to recommence.

More drying cycles, longer lifetime, and increased energy efficiency.

Working together, we identified that the issues they were experiencing were caused by their belt guiding system. We developed a customized belt guiding system that ensured the belt was aligned correctly and remained in position during the drying process. Our user-friendly solution has removed a source of downtime in customers’ processes and simplified the fitting and installation. This change has led to an increase in energy efficiency and a decrease in scrap rates created from breaking the vacuum seal. It also meant that the overall lifetime of their dryer belts has increased significantly.

Open Mesh and Porous

Our woven fiberglass comes in either open mesh or porous styles. With open mesh, you get large windows (¼ inch x ¼ inch/6.35x6.35mm)) to allow specific airflow through your dryer belt. Porous products are tightly woven fabrics that are lightly coated with PTFE to allow airflows of 5 – 60 CFM.

TCK Coated Aramid

Used in open mesh dryer belt applications and fabrics where high tensile and tear resistance are essential, TCK Coated Aramid is ideal for moist or wet environments. Extremely resistant to strength loss after flex folding and lighter weight styles retain their strength.
