Dorner Slashes Your Decontamination Downtime

You now have the option to eliminate modular belts in vertical applications—and their high maintenance—with new ThermoDrive® Sprocket Driven Hygienic Vertical Scoop Belting. This is only available on Dorner’s AquaPruf conveyor line.

It is a homogenous thermoplastic belt with no pins, hinges and link joints to catch and foster bacteria growth. There is a remarkable reduction of in-process bacteria proliferation, and in-place cleaning is completed in just a fraction of the time required for modular belt cleanup, not to mention the reduced drying time at change overs and after sanitation.

Increase Your Sustainability Results

ThermoDrive® belting has been tested and validated by the world’s leading meat and poultry processors.  The results are in.  In a side-by-side test against modular plastic belt, Thermodrive® uses 65% less water during sanitation.  This reduces both your water usage and energy consumption for sanitation with this homogenous belting, not to mention water reclamation costs.

   
     

Minimize Your Risk of Contamination

In addition to minimizing bacteria counts, the hinge-less design all but eliminates the broken piece contamination and lengthy shut downs needed to find missing pieces of modular belts. Expensive product waste caused by the risk of belt contamination is eliminated.

   
     

Proven Performance In the US…

After thoroughly cleaning both a modular belt system and the ThermoDrive® system, a large poultry producer performed a side-by-side swab test over the course of a production run. Bacteria growth on the modular belt increased from zero to 1,300 CFUs (colony forming units) in six hours. Over the same period, the ThermoDrive® belt showed only 10 CFUs.

   
     

Easy Maintenance Confirmed in Europe…

An independent lab in Europe coated both a modular belt and a ThermoDrive® belt with a meat slurry and ran them through a series of wash cycles. After two passes, the ThermoDrive® belt showed a zero bacteria count. It took an additional 18 wash cycles for the modular belt to show the same zero bacteria count.
