METAL BELTS FOR BAKER
FURNACES « Z BELT »The metal « Z » belts are designed tomeet the specific requirements of biscuitmakers using feed through ovens.
They are long lasting and maintenance isquick and simple. Belts are made ofcarbon steel and can be made with awidth of more than 1.5 meter and lengths
up to 300 meters.

FEATURES AND BENEFITS

Z47
Z47R- 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 looped for
greater ﬂexibility and a better contact with drums even of small diameters. Edge ﬁnish prevents the belt
from being damaged by side guides and blades.
- Innovative manufacturing method that provides aperfect alignment of wires for larger open space into
the meshes for the same strength.
This is key for providing a quick and even baking andhelps 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). Openspace 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
Z48

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
Large hole in mesh improve air circulation.
On special demand : Z48S is like the Z48 but with ahigher resistance.

TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONSBefore starting up the conveyor, cut the belt to the correct dimensions, leaving enough travel for thetensioning drum. The belt tension must be sufficient to prevent the belt from slipping off the drive drum.
Please check the direction of rotation (see painted arrow).

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 ensurethat the belt is in the right direction (painted arrow).

RECOMMENDATION
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 10weeks.
The « Z » bands series was launched for the baking industries. « Z » belts provide key beneﬁts for the customer such as lightweight, low heat inertia, high strengthand good air circulation through the belt.
These features position La Bridoire BELTS 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 forregular geometry : Width, pitch, thickness.
