If the transported products are edible products, such as candy, pasta, meat, seafood, baked food, etc., the first is PU food conveyor belt.

The reasons for PU food conveyor belt are as follows:

1: PU food conveyor belt is made of polyurethane (polyurethane) as the surface, which is transparent, clean, non-toxic and tasteless, and can be in direct contact with food.

2: PU conveyor belt has the characteristics of oil resistance, water resistance and cutting resistance, thin belt body, good resistance, and tensile resistance.

3: PU conveyor belt can meet FDA food grade certification, and there is no harmful substance in direct contact with food. Polyurethane (PU) is a raw material that can be dissolved in food grade and is called green and environmentally friendly food material. Polyvinyl chloride (PVC) contains substances that are harmful to the human body. Therefore, if it is related to the work of the food industry, it is better to choose PU conveyor belt from the perspective of food safety.

4: Considering durability, PU food conveyor belt can be cut, can be used for cutters after reaching a certain thickness, and it can be cut repeatedly. PVC conveyor belt is mainly used for food packaging transportation and non-food transportation. Its price is lower than PU conveyor belt, and its service life is generally shorter than that of polyurethane conveyor belt.
