If your manufacturing process involves a cooling stage, then BM Process Solutions can provide an efficient system for that part of the manufacturing cycle. BM Process Solutions is an agent for Sandvik, an engineering company known for a wide range of tools, tooling systems, and equipment. Among Sandvik’s top innovations are sophisticated steel conveyor systems. These systems have been widely adopted by companies in the food processing and chemical processing industries thanks to their high efficiencies, unbeatable durability, and overall versatility. If you need a cooling conveyor belt in New Zealand, Sandvik is the brand to choose and BM Process Solutions is the company to provide it.

Choosing the Right Conveyor Belt Cooling System in New Zealand

Sandvik’s steel belt cooling systems were designed with continuous cooling in mind. For manufacturing processes that require prolonged cooling—such as chemicals, food products, and plastic materials— Sandvik systems provide a reliable solution.

If you are buying a cooling conveyor in New Zealand, you should note not all Sandvik steel belt conveyor systems are identical. Sandvik offers both single belt cooling conveyors and double belt cooling conveyors. Unless you are quite knowledgeable about these systems and how they work, it can be difficult to figure out which belt system is right for your situation. Below, we have provided insight on the difference between these two cooling conveyor belt designs.

• Single Belt: Buying a single belt cooling conveyor in New Zealand will be sufficient for most food or chemical processing companies. Sandvik states these systems can handle ‘in-line production of food and chemical products in the shape of flakes, pastilles, strips, or sheets.’ The system can be customised to provide effective cooling for products of varying sizes and levels of thickness. Overall, single belt systems provide strong versatility and operability at an economical price point.
• Double Belt: Double belt cooling conveyor systems are optimal in a few different situations. Some plastics—such as waxes or resins—tend to have issues with single belt systems. They curl away from the single belt and can therefore be damaged in the cooling process. Double belt systems prevent this issue and keep the wax or resin in place throughout the manufacturing process. Companies with special needs for production—either regarding capacity or product thickness—tend to prefer double belt conveyor systems. Since products on double belt systems are in contact with two cooling belts instead of one, they cool faster, allowing for higher capacity manufacturing loads. This double contact also allows for more even distribution of cool temperatures in thicker products, making it easier to cool those products effectively.

If you need a conveyor belt cooling system in New Zealand, chances are one of these systems will meet your needs.
