How Pladesan Belts Can Improve Your Quality and Reduce Your Losses

Eliminate Manual Handling

◎ Replace manual shifting and positioning of products with belts equipped with accessories designed for those specific tasks

Protect the Product at Every Stage

◎ Our belts ensure conveying stability and feature open surfaces that allow process continuity without compromising product integrity

Prevent Unscheduled Downtime

◎ Durable materials and robust design prevent deformation and premature failures, avoiding losses caused by unexpected interruptions

Direct Contact

Modular belts

We understand the challenges of transporting delicate products such as raw doughs, freshly baked breads or packaged products:

  • Reduce direct handling, with belts that guide, position and transfer the product without compromising its shape or texture
  • Maintain thermal and structural stability in critical zones such as oven exits, cooling tunnels, or cutting stations
  • Integrate seamlessly with automated processes such as dosing, inspection, coding, or packaging

 
We have supported the optimization of product transport in processes such as:

  • Line adjustments for product changes
  • Integration with inspection or coding stations
  • Optimization of critical zones such as oven exits
  • Reduction of losses caused by manual handling or inefficient accumulation
On-belt Processing

Modular belts

We design modular belts that ensure a continuous and safe flow of the product being processed. We also replace metal belts with plastic solutions, reducing costs and improving final quality.

  • The shape and texture of the product, even in soft doughs or partially baked products
  • Withstand demanding thermal and chemical conditions in stages such as fermentation, baking, or ingredient application
  • Enable seamless integration without interruptions or unwanted accumulation

 
We have supported optimizations in processes such as:

  • Application of glazes, seeds or toppings
  • Cutting, decorating or inspection stations
  • Processes with fragile or highly adherent products
  • Replacement of metal belts
  • Conveying between mixing, forming and baking
Final Packaging

Modular belts

The transport of packaged bread, cookies, or pastry products requires a continuous and well‑organized flow, even in high‑speed lines or those handling multiple product references

  • Avoid accumulation or jamming of packed product in straight sections, curves or transfers.
  • Adapt to different types of packaging, from flowpack and thermoforming to cartons or trays
  • Synchronize with downstream processes, without interruptions or misalignments

 
Some application examples include:

  • Feeding cartoners or case formers
  • Consolidation and palletizing lines
  • Discharge from automatic packaging machines
  • Transfers to coding or inspection stations
  • Conveying fragile products or items with sensitive packaging
  

Efficient Integration

In demanding production environments such as the bakery industry, integrators are key drivers of innovation, facilitating the adaptation of technologies to specific processes and ensuring an efficient transition between production stages
Their involvement helps optimize time, reduce waste and maintain consistent quality in highly demanding environments.

Productive Innovation

The replacement of metal belts with modular plastic belts in critical areas of the process has led to significant improvements in energy efficiency, reduced noise levels and fewer unscheduled shutdowns. Likewise, the replacement of synthetic belts with modular belts has increased operating speed, optimizing performance in high-demand production lines.

Supply Chain Reach

Regardless of the size or complexity of the operation, we have implemented conveyor belt solutions in rural areas of Colombia and in Latam countries, providing our customers with reliable access to technology, regardless of their location.
