No parts pricing sucker punches – VBS uses standard, industry-available components that are easily attainable from multiple vendors, in the design and construction of our equipment assuring our customer economical, simplified, fast and efficient maintainability.

Designed for direct food contact, our Food-Grade Conveyors are built to handle tough washdown environments. Stainless steel (SS) and Ultra-high molecular weight UHMW construction materials are USDA approved.

Features & Benefits:

  • Designed to minimize standing water on stainless steel parts
  • Reduce cleaning times with our open frame design and easy access to direct contact surfaces
  • Solid construction ensures decades of use
  • Sanitary design reduces pathogen and bacteria build-up
  • Modular 10-ft sections permit 40-ft or longer of continuous conveyor (dependent on conveyor width)
  • Can be cleaned while in-motion with optional features

Conveyor Design Features:

Side channels are under-bent to less than 90-degrees resulting in less water accumulating on the conveyor after washdown.
