Driven by compelling sanitation and environmental benefits, AgileClean™ positive drive urethane belting is disrupting the food conveyance industry. Its advantages over plastic modular belting – ability to clean-in-place, elimination of foreign matter contamination due to plastic modular belt hinge and pin breakage and the reduction is water usage and waste water disposal – are so great, the cost of a food processing recall so expensive, and the converting existing process lines over so simple – that plant and sanitation managers alike are arriving at the same conclusion that positive drive belting is the future of food conveying. When compared to flat multi-ply PVC and urethane belting, AgileClean positive drive belting also stands head and shoulders above by eliminating the belt slippage associated with flat belting and eliminating the risk of contamination from frayed belt edges often found in flat multi-ply belt applications. The ability to clean-in-place and eliminate the risk of foreign matter contamination caused by breaking plastic modular belt hinges and pins is driving full-scale substitution of plastic modular belting.

AgileClean’s advantages over other belt types:
Compared to plastic modular belting

Agilext is the only food belt manufacturer offering both cordless and corded positive drive food belting. Both styles are manufactured using ether grade urethane for greater chemical resistance and hydrolytic stability. Cordless style offers ease of field welding. Corded style offers superior tensile strength for incline, long belt length and high load applications

  • Easier to clean, greatly reduces pathogenic bacteria risk
  • Eliminates food contamination risk from broken pins and hinges
  • Food belting may be colored blue but it is “green” – Reduces water consumption and waste water disposal required by 40%
  • 30% lighter and quieter; extends motor and bearings life

Compared to fabric-coated belting

  • Eliminates the bacteria harbor points found in the fabric carcass frayed edges
  • Positive drive prevents belt slippage

"AgileClean belting is a no-cost risk insurance against food contamination. Lower total cost of ownership is an added plus. AgileClean belting shows management and our shareholders that we are doing everything possible to eliminate a production recall. With the possibility of injury to consumers, damage to the brand and risk of plant closure, why would anyone use any other food belt?"
