PosiClean™
PosiClean® is designed to be an easy to clean, positive drive, replacement of plastic modular belt for the food processing industry. PosiClean has sealed aramid tension members to limit belt stretch.

Product Features
Direct replacement of most 2” plastic modular belt
Smooth surface allows cleaning to microbiological level and clean-in-place process
Sealed edges and tension members prevent ingress of microbes
Aramid tension members provide high strength, low stretch
Tough polyurethane construction
- Water and chemical resistant
- Meets FDA material requirements for wet food contact
Welded endless or spliced with stainless steel lacing
USDA accepted for meat, poultry and dairy processing equipment
- Meat and poultry and dairy certifications

Application Characteristics
Replacement for plastic modular belt
- Quieter operation
- Easier cleaning
- No hinges or pins to break and possibly contaminate product
Food and confectionery conveying
Formulated for wash down environments
Less labor and cleaning water than plastic modular belt

CenterClean™
CenterClean™ belts are constructed with flexible urethane and sealed Kevlar tension members. This construcion allows CenterClean belts to be troughed or run on small diameter pulley with minimal belt stretch.

CenterClean is designed for the processing applications requiring synchronous motion. This self tracking belt is ideal for 2" (51mm) or larger pulley diameters. The HTD8 tooth profile helps maintain pulley grooves free of debris and easily handles high acceleration and deceleration rates.

Gates Mectrol's GMT3™ is the ideal choice for low profile conveyors and small part transfer applications. 3 mm Belt pitch allows for pulley diameters to be as small as 19 mm (0.75"). GMT3™ is compatible with 3MR GT, 3M HTD and 3M RPP pulleys. Proprietary tooth profile is designed to minimize noise and for running on slider beds
Polyurethane body provides high abrasion resistance GMT3™ is also produced as a spliced endless belt in any length from 770 mm and up

Advantages Over Flat Conveyor Belting
Provides positive indexing, allowing hgher acceleration rates without slippage
Kevlar® tensile members
- Minimal stretch allows for longer belt life and eliminates periodic retensioning
Longer conveyor life
- Lower initial tension requirements put less force on shafts and bearings

Advantages Over Plastic Modular Chain
Quieter
Less surface area to harbor bacteria
- Faster CIP process
Can run on much smaller pulley diameters
