Petfood is often steamed on stainless steel belts

Today, most producers of soft petfood use high performing steam tunnels equipped with hygenic stainless steel belts in their continuous production lines. Here, the steel belt performs two tasks at the same time: transporting petfood though a steam tunnel and transferring heat into the product. With our reliable high temperature resistant rubber v-rope for propper belt tracking we can offer one of the technically most advanced products in this industry.
