PTFE Teflon® Food Process Belting

PTFE coated solid woven glass belting is widely used within food manufacturing because of its non stick nature. It is idealy used when cooking foods that would have a tendency to stick to hot cooking platens. Belts are widely used as a conveyor belt where Tortilla, Nan breads and pizza crusts are pressed from balls of dough into a flat disc shape on the machine. The heat transfer through the belt then cooks the dough whilst being conveyed.

Food like bacon and burgers are also mass cooked and require a belt that can withstand this aggressive environment. This would normally require a belt with a high PTFE content for good release. Our red PTFE fabric High Performance Series is specifically engineered to maximise conveyor belt life, while minimising downtime in the most demanding belting environments. These fabrics are manufactured from PTFE coated woven fiberglass substrates. GORTEF belts provide an extremely smooth, non-stick surface, excellent release and restivity from oils, grease and chemicals. Our (Teflon®) coating formulation was developed to prevent oils and grease from eating into the belt fabrics. GORTEF fabrics are excellent for use in the most challenging applications, such as food processing belts where there is a high level of grease and oils, or the processing of sticky or gummy materials. GORTEF belts have outperformed and lasted longer than standard competitive products.
