Flexco showcases Food Grade Precleaner for conveyors

FLEXCO,  a leading provider of light-duty endless splicing and fastener solutions, will be at ProPak Asia 2015 to highlight the cleaning efficiency of the FGP Food Grade Precleaner. The company will also present its innovative Clipper® G Series™ Lacing system and Novitool® Amigo™.

The FGP Food Grade Precleaners help reduce carryback (sticky food residue) and prevent bacterial growth on the conveyor, reducing the risk of product contamination.  

FGP Food Grade Precleaners with metal detactable gray blade

Available with a metal detectable gray blade, the Precleaners will be installed on two running conveyors carrying raw food ingredients. For the food processing industry, it is important to have a metal detectable blade as many food processing facilities require metal detectable plastics in the food contact zone.  

Flexco representatives will show visitors how to assemble and disassemble the Precleaner in less than a minute to improve manufacturing efficiencies for cleaning and sanitization routines.  

“The cleaner has a spring tensioner that can be easily adjusted to ensure optimal blade-to-belt contact, which minimizes blade wear and maximizes the cleaning capabilities,” said Katie Hay, Flexco product manager.

The FGP Food Grade Precleaners are FDA approved and USDA Certified for Meat & Poultry and Dairy applications.  The new grey metal detectable blade also works on any belt from 100 mm to 1500 mm (4" to 60").

Clipper® G Series™ Lacing system

Another product from the company, the Clipper® G Series™ Lacing system is designed for use with PVC, PU, and PES belting and precision-stamped from 316 L stainless steel, making it corrosion-resistant.  Featuring staggered-leg geometry with four alternating leg lengths, this system offers various points of belt penetration that provide more strength and durability for the splice. The G Series Lacing System face strips can be used to install with existing Clipper tools, including the Microlacer®, Manual Roller Lacer®, and Roller Lacer® Gold Class™. At the booth, Flexco representatives will demonstrate how the Clipper® G Series™ Lacing System can be installed on existing conveyor belts.

Novitool® Amigo™

The all-new Novitool® Amigo™, a splice press that produces high-quality splices in a fast and safe manner in less than one minute.  The company will feature various splices from several belt manufacturers and demonstrate how the Amigo helps bring out the best in homogenous or monolithic belts, avoiding unwanted pinholes in the splices. This is especially important in the food industry from a hygienic perspective.

Flexco products are currently available in Thailand through various distributors located in Bangkok. Visit the company at Booth 5B41.
