Offering an added dimension to its popular CamEDGE conveyor belt for cageless spiral systems, Rexnord recently introduced the Cambridge CamEDGE MORE. The new product features the same edge treatment as the original design but includes an interior mesh overlay to accommodate smaller foods, soft poultry and meat parts placed directly on the belt.
“The original CamEDGE belt has large flat wire openings so processors can move larger-sized meat and poultry parts or packaged product along the cageless spiral for cooling or freezing,” said Barry Voshell, Director, Global Product Management. “The CamEDGE MORE mesh overlay closes openings so non-packaged raw product and soft parts like chunks, patties and popcorn can rest on the belt as they travel through the spiral.”
The overlay’s metal mesh also reduces product marking but still has sufficient openness for thorough chemical and hot water cleaning, according to Voshell.
With added attention paid to plastic belt contamination issues during some poultry and meat processes, the CamEDGE MORE metal belt is suited for daily sanitation practices necessary to prevent salmonella, listeria and other bacteria while being made from materials that are food-safe.
