Industry: Food Processing Client: Confidential (Leading European Snack Manufacturer) Challenge: Frequent belt maintenance and high energy costs with metal conveyor belts Solution: Conversion to Hardiflon’s PTFE-coated conveyor belts Result: Reduced downtime, lower energy consumption, and smoother production
A leading European snack manufacturer was facing repeated issues with their traditional metal conveyor belts. The belts were heavy, prone to sticking, and required constant maintenance due to wear, corrosion, and heat distortion.
Every maintenance shutdown cost valuable hours and when you're running thousands of units an hour, time really is money.
Hardiflon was approached to help evaluate alternatives. After an on-site assessment, we recommended a custom PTFE-coated fiberglass conveyor belt solution. Why?
✅ Non-stick surface: Prevented product buildup
✅ Lightweight & flexible: Reduced wear on rollers and motors
✅ Heat-resistant: Ideal for high-temperature baking and drying lines
✅ FDA-compliant: Safe for direct food contact
Within weeks of installation, the manufacturer saw measurable improvements:
Their operations manager summed it up best:
"Switching to PTFE belts was one of the easiest wins we’ve had on the line this year."
Many industries still rely on outdated metal belts that aren’t optimised for modern production demands. PTFE conveyor belts from Hardiflon offer a smarter, cleaner, and more efficient alternative.
