When the stakes are high: Forbo
With the ‘Siegling Fullsan’ product range, Forbo Movement Systems has launched new homogeneous conveyor and processing belts made of TPU (thermoplastic polyurethane) particularly for hygiene-sensitive applications.

Energy efficiency may be just part of the equation when selecting a type of belt, but it is an increasingly important one given the dramatic rise in energy costs that the world is currently experiencing.
Reliable product transfer between processes is essential to maintaining the rhythm in production sequences, with continuous, automated adjustments. To optimize efficiency in industrial baking, everything is riding on conveyor systems.
Ashworth will launch a new smart solution at IBIE this year, the Smart Oven monitoring system, joining the Smart Spiral in this range.
Reading Bakery Systems (RBS) introduced a new ambient cooling conveyor, with increased efficiency in cooling crackers before entering packaging in a more‐compact footprint.
Conveyor systems work under demanding conditions in bakeries. Maintaining them in top shape is the first step to efficiency in production; upgrades will then guarantee optimum performance in handling processes for truly competitive-level manufacturing.

It takes extensive experience to determine which belt works best with specific bakery products. Ashworth provides recommendations in terms of materials, design, and engineering. The choice will be the result of an extensive checklist and case-by-case analysis.
A versatile piece of equipment that can be used for all processes requiring controlled temperatures is the spiral. For this technology, Ashworth developed the SmartSpiral® Monitoring System, an application that provides real-time monitoring of multiple spirals, even over different facilities.
Maintaining a conveying system in its fully operational capacity is a prerequisite in increasing efficiency; upgrading it is then the next goal.
Several aspects determine what improvements a conveying system needs – starting with the process step it serves. Luis Patricio, Intralox Baking Account Manager, lists them.
