IPCO is the world’s leading manufacturer of steel belts for the food industry, with applications ranging from simple conveying and materials handling to processes as diverse as freezing, cooling, steaming, solidifying, drying, casting and baking. Steel conveyor belts can be produced in solid or perforated form, in carbon or stainless steel, and to virtually any length or width. They are strong, stable and extremely durable, and a flat, smooth surface enables fast, easy cleaning for the highest standards of hygiene. For many applications, the thermal properties of a steel belt are key. These include the ability to conduct heat quickly and efficiently, and to maintain strength and flexibility in temperatures as extreme as minus 80°C all the way up to +750°C. IPCO engineers have extensive experience of working with machine builders and end users to achieve optimum performance and reliability, and this process expertise is readily available.
