Ideal For Cleanroom Environments
The medical and pharmaceutical industries are heavily regulated for safety purposes, and these regulations apply to equipment used in manufacturing and material handling. As such, automated conveyor systems involved in the processing, handling and transportation of pharmaceutical products must be flawlessly sanitary, easy to clean, and resistant to corrosion.
The topic of hygiene and the importance of pharmaceutical processing has remained in the public eye since the coronavirus pandemic. During that time, Belt Technologies was proud to be designated as an essential business, providing metal belts for use in the packaging of COVID-19 test kits and other essential products.
Equipment that contacts medical products is often made with 304 or 316 stainless steel. These austenitic grades of stainless steel are tempered to increase their strength to over 180,000 psi. These tempered properties of the alloy make the belting an excellent choice for accurate positioning in the medical manufacturing industry. Whether it’s cannula manufacturing, assembling complete medical devices, or web conveying, PureSteel® belts are the preferred choice in this demanding industry.
An arguably greater value stainless steel offers the medical industry is its high resistance to corrosion, which allows the belts to be rigorously sanitized by high-pressure steam, high-pressure wash or chemical cleaning. A PureSteel® solid, stainless steel conveyor belt with a protective chromium oxide surface layer is the ideal long-lasting sanitary surface for transporting pharmaceutical products and medical equipment.
