Cleaning and disinfecting conveyor belts

Why is steam a good solution for cleaning conveyor belts?

Steam is an effective and gentle method for cleaning conveyor belts in both the food industry and other production environments. The hot steam loosens and dissolves dirt, grease, and bacteria without the use of chemicals. It penetrates hard-to-reach areas, helping to prevent the buildup of bacteria in corners, gaps, and similar spaces.

Steam at temperatures of 125-150°C has proven to be particularly effective in combating biofilm. It enables thorough and efficient cleaning of even difficult-to-access areas without the need to dismantle equipment. At the same time, most of the moisture evaporates immediately, allowing the belt to return to service quickly while minimizing the risk of mold or corrosion.

Lower water consumption - reduced operating costs
Steam technology uses significantly less water than, for example, high-pressure cleaning. Where traditional methods often require large volumes of water, steam uses only a fraction - which not only reduces water costs but also benefits the environment.

Minimal or no use of chemicals
By cleaning with steam, you can eliminate or significantly reduce the need for cleaning agents. This results in lower chemical expenses and reduces requirements for storage, safety measures, and labelling - while also improving the working environment.

Reduced labor time - increased efficiency
Steam enables fast and thorough cleaning without the need to disassemble equipment. This saves valuable working time and helps maintain stable production - especially when cleaning can be carried out while the conveyor is still running.

Gentle cleaning - less wear and lower maintenance costs
Unlike high-pressure cleaning, which can cause wear on belts, seals, and electrical components, steam is a more gentle method. It extends the lifespan of conveyor belts and associated equipment while reducing the need for replacements and maintenance.

What do I need?

To get started, you only need an Optima Steamer, a compressor, and the appropriate cleaning equipment matched to your belt width. Installation is straightforward, and once the system is in place, it handles the cleaning automatically while production continues.

One solution features a movable steam head that travels from side to side across the conveyor belt while it is in operation. It delivers a powerful and even steam output across the full width of the belt, ensuring thorough cleaning and disinfection - completely without the use of chemicals.

The second solution is positioned close to the belt and combines steam, mechanical scraping, and efficient suction in a single unit. In this setup, cleaning takes place inside a closed chamber, keeping the steam contained where it is needed while all dirt and moisture are immediately extracted.

Both solutions are available in different widths and can be tailored to fit your specific installation.
