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.

Based on the current developments of the war in Ukraine, IPCO has decided to initiate the process to exit the Russian market and did so as of September 1, 2022.
IPCO will be using this year’s IBIE to highlight four key areas: steel belts, conveyor components, support and chocolate forming systems.
IPCO provided us a glimpse into the solutions the company brings on the show floor at IBIE, the updates they incorporate and the market segments in its focus. Marko Leber, Global Product Manager – Food, shared the insights.
IPCO developed a cooling tunnel with improved energy efficiency provided by a newly designed airflow system, for use in the confectionery and bakery industries.
Maintaining a conveying system in its fully operational capacity is a prerequisite in increasing efficiency; upgrading it is then the next goal.
Baking ovens can account for as much as 45% of a bakery’s overall energy consumption; of this, as much of 25% is used to heat the conveyor belt, which is why maximum efficiency is not only recommended but necessary.
