IPCO steel belts have been used by the food industry for 100+ years across applications ranging from baking and steam cooking to cooling, forming, and freezing. If you need to process food or ingredients cleanly, efficiently, and productively, find out how an IPCO steel belt could help.
The unique qualities of solid and perforated steel conveyor belts make them the ideal medium on which to process hundreds of different food types.
Versatile enough to be used at temperatures from -80 °C to 700 °C, steel belts are at the heart of processes as varied as freezing, baking, drying, and cooling. They retain their strength and flexibility to deliver years of reliable service.
We supplied the world’s first carbon steel belts for a three-line, continuous bake oven in 1925 and the benefits they delivered then remain as valid today. Stable, durable, and offering exceptional thermal conductivity, IPCO carbon steel belts provide reliable performance in bakeries and chocolate processing operations, the world over.
More resistant to damage by corrosion, abrasion, or impact than any other belt type, a stainless steel belt conveyor belt represents outstanding long-term value and delivers an excellent return on investment.
Flat, smooth, and endless, IPCO steel belts can be sanitized in whichever way is most appropriate to the operation: hot water, pressure, brushes, detergents, chemicals, or any combination of these.
As well as helping you maintain the highest standards of hygiene, this ‘cleanability’ also means more productive hours and savings of up to 30% in water, detergents, and chemicals compared with other belt types.
Some applications require the solid surface of a continuous steel belt while others, such as drying or processing certain bakery products, are better carried out on a perforated belt. We are a market-leading manufacturer for both types of food handling conveyor belts.

Benefits
We produced the world’s first steel conveyor belt in 1901 and have continued to innovate ever since. Our experience has given us the process understanding to meet the food conveyor system needs of different customers, applications, and product types. Applications include:
Baking (e.g. bread, biscuits, cookies, crackers, brownies, granola bars, pizza bases, etc.)
Conditional (e.g. zoned chocolate cooling systems)
Conveying (e.g. chocolate mass, meat etc.)
Cooling (e.g. candy, chocolate, nougat, caramel, nut brittle, gum base etc.)
Drying (e.g. fruit, nuts, vegetables, seeds, seaweed etc.)
Film casting (e.g. film edibles, sweeteners etc.)
Freezing (e.g. vegetables, fruit, fish, meat, instant coffee etc.)
GMP/FDA-compliant production
Meat processing
Sorting (e.g. tomatoes)
Steam cooking (e.g. pet food)
Benefits
IPCO food processing conveyor belts offer a wide range of benefits for food processing and handling:
Solid or perforated belts depending on your need
Carbon and stainless steel belts
Steel grades for any process or product type
High standards of hygiene – the flat surface means nowhere for bacteria to hide
Easy to sanitize in whichever way suits your process
Easy product discharge – due to flat, smooth surface
Impervious – does not absorb bacteria, odors, or flavors
Excellent heat transfer/thermal properties
Belt stays flat for constant processing across the full width
Expert support whatever your requirement – advice, a new installation, an upgrade to an existing facility, or simply a replacement belt
