Conveyor belt manufacturer gains Halal certification

CAMBRIDGE Engineered Solutions said its products have been certified by the Islamic Services of America (ISA). According to CEO Tracy Tyler, most metal conveyor belts are manufactured using animal by-product lubricants. The company uses only synthetic products in belt manufacturing, and voluntarily sought the Halal certification to guarantee its food industry customers that their machines are compliant by Islamic dietary law.

“As a global leader in conveyor equipment, we believe it’s both good and responsible business that the equipment we make and sell to food processing companies around the world could meet the dietary requirements of more than one billion observant Muslims,” said Dion Banks, Cambridge’s director of Global Affairs.”

Cambridge machines for the poultry, meat and baking industries include chain Drive, Cam-Grid, Precision, Sanigrid, Durahinge, DuraFlex and Cambri-Link and DuraLite.
