Replace Modular Chain for Measurable Cost Savings
Easy cleaning, limited stretch and less maintenance will make Gates Mectrol your first choice in food grade belting. A drop-in replacement for most 1" and 2" plastic modular belting, Gates belts are used for meat, poultry, cheese or any raw food.
Gates Mectrol Food Grade Belting offers many advantages, including:
- Cleanliness: Whereas crevices in modular chain are contamination hotbeds, resulting in frequent wash down, these belts require less labor and less water during sanitation. They can even be pressure washed on the table, saving you time.
- Less Stretching: Because downtime matters and every minute of scheduled maintenance is precious, our blue belts have sealed Kevlar® or aramid tension members that limit stretch.
- Three Drive Options: Choose from PosiClean® belts with 1" or 2" tooth pitch for full synchronization, CenterClean™ belts for self-tracking or FlatClean™ belts for non-fraying flat belt replacement.
- Fastening & Installation Flexibility: Opt for a vulcanized weld, mechanical fasteners or Gates PosiLace™ single pin system that limits the chance of contamination and allows for simple belt removal.
1) Smooth surface is free of crevices where bacteria can take hold and grow
