How Our Customers See Success with New Intralox Products

FoodSafe sprocket spacers

FoodSafe Sprocket Spacers (Shaft Optimization)

Intralox FoodSafe™ Sprocket Spacers optimize shaft/sprocket configuration to prevent sprocket migration and uneven spacing that can result in belt or sprocket damage. Minimize foreign material contamination risk while improving hygienic and operational performance on your conveyors.

FoodSafe belt puller

FoodSafe Belt Puller

Experience simpler, faster, and safer belt removal and installation with the Intralox FoodSafe Belt Puller. Gain quick access to the conveyor frame for maintenance and repairs without removing the belt. 

FoodSafe X-ray–detectable PK Material belt

FoodSafe X-ray–detectable PK Material

A lightweight alternative to acetal that’s more impact, chemical, and abrasion resistant, Intralox PK material helps reduce nonmechanical belt-related foreign material in your facilities. Available in S800, it improves release and yield in certain applications. FDA and EU compliant for direct food contact, it functions over a temperature range of -40°F to 200°F (-40°C to 93.33°C). X-ray–detectable PK material takes foreign material risk reduction one step further with detectability.

FoodSafe Heavy-Duty Edge

FoodSafe Heavy-Duty Edge - S800 and S900

The Intralox FoodSafe Heavy-Duty Edge belt features a robust design that reduces breakage risk, especially during daily sanitation and maintenance. Its closed flush belt edge minimizes catchpoints, and its thicker links reduce wear while maximizing belt life. Available with molded indent flights.

Series 900 High Heat Resistant (HHR) Nylon Mold to Width Flat Top belt

S900 HHR Nylon MTW Flat Top with Four Holes and Tabs

S900 High Heat Resistant (HHR) Nylon Mold to Width Flat Top belting with four holes and tabs is designed as a more robust alternative for high-speed, single-filer container applications, including the pin-stripper. The S900 HHR Nylon belt has twice the life expectancy as acetal.

S2100 ZERO TANGENT Radius Belt in Blue Acetal

S2100 ZERO TANGENT Radius Belt in Blue Acetal

Optimize your layout and save valuable footprint with the high-performing, reliable S2100 ZERO TANGENT Radius belt, now in blue acetal for improved visual foreign material contamination detection. FDA-approved sprockets bring more flexibility and applicability to food applications.

Equipment

DARB Switch S4500 belt surface

DARB Switch S4500

The Dual-Stacked Angled Roller Belt (DARB) Switch S4500 is designed to handle medium-to-high rates of corrugated cases, shrink packs, and totes within a small footprint. It diverts products in one direction at a 90-degree trajectory relative to the direction of the product flow, perfect for inline applications, applications with a side infeed, and applications that require products to be diverted left or right. With the DARB Switch S4500, you get the accessibility, reduced footprint, and low total cost of ownership that slat switches don’t provide. 

ARB Multilane Divider S7050 rollers

ARB Multilane Divider S7050

The Intralox Activated Roller Belt (ARB) Multilane Divider S7050 is an ultra-compact, simple solution that can switch up to four lanes in and four lanes out with high accuracy and eliminates the need for overhead rails, with practically zero changeover time between product runs. Handling various package sizes and types at up to 600 packages per minute—including small packages and sustainable packaging—the ARB Multilane Divider S7050 reduces total cost of ownership while meeting the rapidly changing needs of the global market.
