We offer proven solutions, backed by a worldwide team of industry experts to assist you with all of your conveyance needs in a growing tortilla market.
Intralox modular plastic conveyor belt solutions have proven to deliver advantages over other technologies in tortilla processing applications. Our solutions have increased line efficiency for processors for years on traditional applications such as multi-tiered coolers, spirals, counter-stackers, and packaging conveyors. Now, with our new Activated Roller Belt™ (ARB) technology, we are improving operations in areas such as product alignment, singulation, and merging.
Real World Results:
As a result of implementing one of our tortilla cooling solutions, a leading tortilla manufacturer running a 24/7 production schedule realized a 100% decrease in unscheduled downtime and maintenance, resulting in increased throughput of over 700,000 tortillas. Since our solution lasts six times longer than standard wire belts, they also experienced a 50% decrease in belt replacement costs.
“Our decision to retrofit the multi-tiered coolers in all of our plants was based primarily on the Intralox belt’s ability to eliminate downtime and the potential for metal contamination in our products. The level of service and technical assistance that they were able to offer to our company provided added benefits that make us value our partnership with Intralox even more.”
Guillermo Gonzalez, Executive Vice President of Manufacturing, Mission Foods
“Wire belts typically start breaking down as quickly as three or four months into production. Since Intralox’s belt was installed, we haven’t had to do any major work—not even change the bearing.”
Jorge Solis, Plant Manager, La Chiquita Tortillas
