2 Transco is the actual European leader in the manufacture of conveyor and elevator belts uniquely designed to handle bulk products in both the agriculture and food processing industries. With an unrivalled depth of product range. Transco has the right product to meet your dedicated needs according to the following criteria: Direct contact with Food : When the conveyed products are meant for human consumption it is compulsory to ensure: - that the particles potentially released by the slow abrasion of the belt over time, that could get mixed with the conveyed food products, are not hazardous to human health. - a total stability and inocuity of the conveyor and elevator belt compounds to prevent any contamination of the conveyed products. Risk of such contamination is particularly acute in moist and greasy environments. Belt colour: In food processing industries a white belt s benefit is that it does not release visible particles in the conveyed product, thus being an efficient non-marking, non-staining alternative. Safety - Fire and Explosion Risks: An ATEX certified belt in compliance with international standards ISO 284 for antistatic and ISO 340 for flame/fire resistance is essential in high risk environments such as cereal silos, sugar refineries, etc. Conveying Greasy and Oily products: While a standard belt will most likely swell and deform when conveying greasy/oily products a high content of nitrile will enable better control of such phenomena. The following table presents a shortlist of standard applications and recommended transco belts: Food contact Belt colour Grease/fat resistance Acid resistance Antiabrasive Fire explosion risks Recommended belts SUGAR BEET CHAIN Unprocessed sugar beets BLACK YES Anti-abrasive Grated beets and cossettes BLACK YES Anti-abrasive Moist pulps after sugar extraction YES BLACK YES FDA-BLAK GA Pressed beet pulp BLACK YES Anti-abrasive Sugar beet pulp pellet BLACK YES YES BLAK GS Dry or moist refined sugar S/GS or YES WHITE YES FDA mono/ multi plast SUGAR CANE CHAIN Bagasse BLACK YES Antiabrasive Dry or moist cane sugar BLACK YES YES FDA-BLAK GA Dry or moist refined sugar S/GS or YES WHITE YES FDA mono/ multiplast CEREALS, FLOUR, BREAD & PASTRIES CHAINS Cereal chains YES WHITE YES AA Mixed Silos cereals/oleaginous BLACK YES YES BLAK GS Cereal silos (non greasy) BLACK YES BLAK S OTHER MAJOR STANDARD CHAINS Malt house chain YES WHITE AA Rice chain YES WHITE YES G Salt chain (storage) YES WHITE AA Fertilizers chain BLACK BLAK GS

3 : WHITE FOOD GRADE CONVEYOR AND ELEVATOR BELTS The Transco white food conveyor and elevator belts range, named FDA- BLANC, is manufactured with materials strictly in compliance with the actual stringent international standards and legislations relating to food processing industries. The range meets the following standards specifications for rubber and plastics in contact with food: F.D.A (US Standard) European Standard EN 1935/2004 Covers White food grade rubber White food grade PVC Multiply 250N/mm à 1600N/mm (2 to 4 plies) Solid woven Multiply 250N/mm 250N/mm to to 1600N/mm 1600N/mm Product name FDA-MULTIPLAST FDA-MONOPLAST Cover grades AA G S GS GS (antiabrasive) (oil&fat resistant) (safety) (oil/fat + safety) (oil/fat + safety) Temperature range -30 to +110 C -25 to +90 C -25 to +80 C -25 to +80 C -10 to +60 C Abrasion index value <120 mm 3 <150 mm 3 <180 mm 3 <200 mm 3 <200 mm 3 Resistant to vegetable, animal & mineral fats YES YES YES Antistatic: Iso 284 YES YES YES YES Fire resistant: Iso 340 YES YES YES ATEX Zones (exemple -3+2) AA G S GS FDA-MULTIPLAST or FDA-MONOPLAST 400/ BLANC: WHITE CONVEYOR OR ELEVATOR BELTS FOR GENERAL USE Transco has also developped a multiply white rubber belt, named BLANC, for general use in instances where there is no main security or sanitary concern. Such is the case for example in the transport of washing powder, bulk salt, this belt features the following properties: Covers Product name Temperature range White rubber Multiply 250N/mm to 1600N/mm (2 to 4 plies) BLANC -30 to +100 C Abrasion index value <200mm 3 BLANC

5 ROUND-BALERS With a proven expertise in the manufacture of Round-Balers, TRANSCO has a dedicated range and can cater to a variety of needs from distributors. The baler belts can be delivered in sheets, cut to customised width and length or even spliced in an endless belt using hot splicing techniques or mechanical fasteners. TRANSCO s Round Baler range offers three types of products: ROUND-BALER LG Type with a grain structure impression on top carry cover LR Type with plain structure on top carry cover LL Type with a rhomb structure impression on top carry cover (example): ROUND-BALER LG SAFETY: ISO & ATEX STANDARDS Conveyor and elevator belts are made of a majority of natural or synthetic rubber components that usually derive from hydrocarbon compounds. Therefore, a non protected standard conveyor or elevator belt would be highly flammable. For the safety of installations, it is compulsory to avoid the accumulation of static electricity thus preventing sparks which could act as a source of ignition for an explosion. Belts should facilitate the discharge of static electricity and minimise fire propagation. Different international standards specify the safety parameters of conveyor belts: Antistatic performance- ISO 284: Measures the electrical conductivity of the belt between circular electrodes. The resistance must be <300 Megohm. Fire resistance -ISO 340: The belt is tested with and without its covers. The test consists in holding a series of 6 samples with covers and 6 without covers over a naked gas flame. The samples must self estinguish within 15 s. The total estinguishing time for 6 samples cannot exceed 45 s. Furthermore, the European Union has issued the ATEX directive that not only specifies the antistatic and fire resistance properties but also imposes compulsory controls on the manufacturing process, as well as tracking and branding directives that give a greater safety guarantee to the end users. A positive audit carried out by a certified national agency will grant ATEX certification.
