A sanitary belt conveyor is designed for applications where cleanliness and washdown capability are essential. These conveyors are commonly used to move food products, packaged goods, and other bulk materials through a processing or packaging operation while minimizing the risk of contamination.
‍
The KleanTrak sanitary belt conveyor is engineered for use in food, pharmaceutical, and other washdown environments where equipment must support strict cleaning procedures and hygienic operation.

Sanitary conveyors are designed to support cleaning and reduce the risk of contamination during production. The KleanTrak conveyor incorporates several sanitary design features including:

• Hygienic belt design with FDA compliant materials for use in sanitary applications
• Stainless steel frame construction using 304 stainless steel
• An open frame design that allows easy access for cleaning
• Minimal horizontal surfaces where product or moisture could accumulate
• Tool free disassembly for fast cleaning and inspection

These features help manufacturers maintain the sanitary levels required in industries with strict hygiene expectations.

Sanitary conveying equipment helps manufacturers meet food safety regulations and other governmental regulations that apply to food and pharmaceutical production.
‍
The KleanTrak conveyor uses a polyurethane belt that meets FDA and EU regulatory requirements, making it suitable for applications where regulatory compliance and sanitary regulations are critical. This allows manufacturers to maintain hygienic handling of products throughout the processing line.

Sanitary belt conveyors are widely used in industries where product cleanliness and washdown capability are required. Typical industries include:

• Food processing and food manufacturing
• Pharmaceutical industry
• Nutraceutical industries
• Specialty product manufacturing

These conveyors are well-suited for handling items such as frozen foods, snack products, cereal, pasta, nuts, and similar products that require hygienic conveying.

The KleanTrak system uses a food-grade polyurethane belt designed for sanitary conveying environments.

The belt material is available in several configurations, including:

• Blue, white, or natural belt colors
• Cleated designs for product elevation
• Corrugated sidewalls for product containment
• Endless or laced belt options

These options allow the conveyor to be matched to specific product handling requirements and conveying angles.

Yes. The KleanTrak sanitary belt conveyor can elevate product at steep angles to support compact production layouts.
‍
Depending on the application, the conveyor can operate from incline conveying up to vertical conveying angles, allowing product to move efficiently between different levels within a processing line or packaging operation.

Yes. Sanitary conveyors are designed with easy maintenance and cleaning in mind.
‍
The KleanTrak conveyor includes several features that simplify maintenance:

• Open frame construction
• Tool free disassembly for cleaning access
• Corrosion resistant bearings
• Washdown duty motor
• A patented tensionless drive system that eliminates belt slippage

These features help reduce downtime and support reliable operation in demanding washdown environments.

Yes. Every conveying application is different, and sanitary conveyors can be configured to match specific processing requirements.
‍
Available customization options include:

• Portable or mobile bases
• Removable personnel guarding
• Infeed and discharge chutes
• CIP systems and drain pans
• Tilting mechanisms
• Discharge plough assemblies

These options allow manufacturers to integrate the conveyor into existing equipment layouts and production workflows.

Conveyor lengths and conveying speed depend on the product being handled and the layout of the processing line.
‍
Factors that influence system design include:

• Product characteristics
• Required throughput
• Elevation change between equipment
• Available floor space
• Required sanitary access for cleaning

Because every application is different, UniTrak conveyors are typically engineered to meet the specific needs of the customer’s conveying system.
