La Bridoire

Metal belts for baker furnaces « Z belt »Agrati’s metal « Z » belts are designed to meetthe specific requirements of biscuit makers using
feed through ovens. They are long lasting andmaintenance is quick and simple. Belts are made ofcarbon steel and can be made with a width of morethan 1.5 meter and lengths up to 300 meters.

4 types of belts to meet specific needs of thebaking industry
Lightweight, reduced size and thickness
Low heat inertia, good air circulation
High quality, high strength. Edges are loopedfor greater flexibility and a better contact withdrums - even of small diameters. Edge finish
prevents the belt from being damaged by side
guides and blades.
Innovative manufacturing method that provides
a perfect alignment of wires for larger open
space into the meshes for the same strength.
This is key for providing a quick and even baking
and helps to keep the belt cleaned.

Range of metal belts
Z47 is the best in class product used in large
installations with high output (speeds up to 30m/min). Open space in the mesh allows good air
circulation during baking process.
Z47R is a Z47 belt featuring an improved shear
resistance for a longer life cycle and intensive use. It
requires a higher heat during baking process.
Z28 has a reduced wire thickness that requires lessheat during baking process for improved savings.
High temperature is not recommended. Designed forlength of 100 m.
On special demand : Z28R for heavy duty applications.
Thanks to the small hole into the mesh, the Z28R belt
allows soft dough baking.

Z48
Specially designed for rusks and hard biscuits Largehole in mesh improve air circulation.

On special demand : Z48S is similar to the Z48 but with ahigher resistance.

Prior to starting up the conveyor belt, cut the belt to secure the longest possible stroke for the tensioning
drum. Tension of the belt must be sufficient to prevent the belt sliding over the driving drum. In any case please
ensure that the belt is in the right direction (painted arrow).
It is recommended to change the belt every 3 years when normally used (3 shifts). For more intensive use orvery high temperature furnaces expected life can be reduced.
Normal lead time for a new belt is from 6 to 10 weeks.Agrati La Bridoire in France, is a 9000m² plant producing threaded fasteners and metal wires for belts.
Forty years ago the « Z » series was launched for the baking industries. « Z » belts provide key benefits for thecustomer such as lightweight, low heat inertia, high strength and good air circulation through the belt. Thesefeatures position Agrati La Bridoire as a leader providing worldwide customer in the baking industry.
Belts are manufactured through a controlled process which includes :- Steel supplied to high specifications, controlled and selected to provide limited deformation during heating.
- Recording and tracking of manufacturing processes for regular geometry : Width, pitch, thickness.
