Hygienic Processing and Food Safety

Conveyor belts that ensure high levels of cleanliness, safety, and performance in fish and seafood processing plants

  • Extend the service life of your belts with resistant materials
  • Minimize the risk of physical contamination on the line
  • Use solutions aligned with standards such as FDA, EU and MERCOSUR
  • Reduce manual handling between processing zones

 

"Strict hygiene, extreme temperatures, and demanding processes are inherent to seafood processing, and our belts are designed to respond effectively to each of these challenges"

Integration

Belts and chains compatible with installed machinery, without redesigns or in-line modifications

From unloading to packing, our integrators implement systems that fit your existing lines, reduce downtime and increase productivity in demanding environments

Streamlined processes with systems designed for longevity and ease of cleaning

Decrease cleaning time

◎ Optimized geometries and non-porous materials allow for shorter wash cycles, reducing water, chemical and energy consumption without compromising hygienic efficiency

Control cross-contamination

◎ Designs that minimize accumulation points and facilitate cleaning between shifts, reducing the risk of contamination between batches or processed species

Choose components that resist wear and tear

◎ Components made with high‑performance polymers and reinforced designs that reduce friction and withstand mechanical wear in continuous operation

Direct Contact

Modular belts

In the seafood industry, products constantly change shape, temperature, and texture—requiring precision, hygiene, and continuity at every stage from reception to packaging

The belts we manufacture are designed for:

  • Operate reliably in damp, cold or icy environments
  • Maintaining product stability during sorting, cutting or freezing processes
  • Integrate with existing machinery on the production line

 
We support our clients by applying solutions such as:

  • Sorting
  • Quick freezing (IQF) and freezing tunnels
  • Inspection and quality control
  • Filleting and portioning
  • Washing, draining, and dewatering
On-belt Processing

Modular belts

Conveyor belts don't just move product: they are an active part of the process. Operations demand solutions designed to withstand extreme conditions and meet stringent sanitary standards

We design belts for:

  • Withstand high temperatures or abrupt thermal changes during processing
  • Enable efficient drainage of liquids, oils, or coatings, thanks to open, easy‑to‑clean configurations
  • Integrate with additive application and surface treatment equipment

 
We have developed specific solutions for stages such as:

  • Additive application
  • Glazing application
  • Continuous cooking
  • Breading and coating
Primary Packaging

Modular belts

Primary packaging is a critical stage that must ensure product integrity, comply with sanitary regulations, and adapt to different presentation formats. The conveyor belts for this phase are designed to:

  • Transport packaged products without loss of stability
  • Integrate with packaging and identification machines
  • Facilitate frequent cleaning with sanitary surfaces and open configurations

 
The range of solutions includes:

  • Controlled accumulation
  • Feeding thermoforming machines
  • Integration with quality control systems
  • Discharge from packaging lines
  • Transfer to sealing or labeling
  • Conveying trays or bags
Cans, Containers, and Boxes

Modular belts

Transporting containers, boxes, and cans in seafood‑processing environments requires robust, stable, and easy‑to‑clean solutions. Pladesan’s modular belts are designed to handle medium and large loads with precision, even in wet or cold conditions:

  • Conveying plastic or metal containers without slippage or jamming
  • Withstand impact and point loads without deformation or loss of traction
  • Facilitate liquid and residue drainage through open configurations

 
We have worked directly with our clients, developing solutions for:

  • Accumulation
  • Crate washing
  • Can movement
  • Transfers between lines
  • Transport of empty or full containers

Conveyor Chains

When greater structural rigidity, positive traction or conveying on long and demanding lines is required, plastic chains are the ideal solution

Our plastic chains are designed to:

  • Ensure consistent traction on long lines or lines with multiple curves
  • Transport heavy loads such as stacked boxes or industrial baskets
  • Withstand harsh environments without compromising system stability

 
We have implemented plastic‑chain solutions in applications such as:

  • Basket lifting
  • Transfers between zones
  • Box conveying

Advanced Materials

For more than eight years, Pladesan has successfully met the challenges of the seafood‑processing environment—such as chemical corrosion and accelerated wear—through the development of advanced materials specifically designed to extend the service life of conveyor belts under demanding conditions

Adaptive Technology

Pladesan belts integrate seamlessly with high‑technology machinery used in food processing, adapting to demanding systems such as metal detectors, IQF freezing tunnels, thermoforming lines, and automated inspection stations

Integral Service

Integrators play an essential role in operational efficiency by ensuring the correct installation, adjustment and maintenance of conveying and processing systems, even under changing and high-demand conditions.
