Standard for vulcanizing machines of conveyor belts specifically designed for the Food industry
Materials and hygiene standards
The conveyor belt vulcanizing machine should be made of materials that meet food safety standards, such as stainless steel or food-grade plastic, to ensure that the parts in contact with food are non-toxic and harmless. The surface of the equipment should be smooth without burrs to prevent residue from contaminating food, and it should be easy to clean and disinfect to prevent cross-infection.
Structural design requirements
The structure of the vulcanizing machine should be reasonable, avoiding gaps or dead corners to prevent material accumulation or microbial growth. The equipment must have sufficient strength and stability to adapt to various forces and pressures during the food production process, ensuring the firmness and durability of the conveyor belt joints.
Temperature and pressure control
The vulcanizing machine needs to be equipped with a high-precision temperature and pressure control system to ensure uniform temperature and stable pressure during the vulcanization process. The temperature control accuracy should reach ±5℃, and the pressure fluctuation range should be less than ±0.5MPa to ensure the consistency of vulcanization quality.
Anti-corrosion and chemical resistance
For the cleaning agents or disinfectants that may be used in the food industry, the vulcanizing machine needs to have good corrosion resistance. The surface of the equipment should be coated with anti-corrosion materials or coatings to ensure that it is not eroded by chemical substances during long-term use and to extend the service life of the equipment.
Convenience of operation and maintenance
The vulcanizing machine should be designed to be easy to operate and maintain, including quick replacement of vulcanizing plates, convenient cleaning interfaces and intuitive control panels. The equipment should be equipped with safety protection devices, such as emergency stop buttons and overload protection, to ensure the safety of the operators.
Comply with industry certification
The vulcanizing machine needs to pass relevant food safety certifications, such as FDA or EU food contact material standards, to ensure that the equipment meets international food safety requirements. In addition, the equipment should comply with the ISO 9001 quality management system and ISO 22000 food safety management system certifications.
Adaptability and flexibility
The vulcanizing machine needs to have the ability to adapt to conveyor belts of different specifications, including adjustable vulcanizing plate sizes and pressure ranges. The equipment should be capable of handling conveyor belts made of different materials, such as rubber, PVC or polyurethane, to meet the diverse production demands of the food industry.
