WORLD LEADERS IN SOLID AND PERFORATED BAKE OVEN BELTS 

 IPCO is the world’s largest manufacturer of solid and perforated bake oven steel belts, designing and supplying efficient conveying solutions to oven builders and end users, and supporting them through a global service network.  

 Steel belts offer a number of key advantages over other belt materials including low maintenance, high reliability, a long working life and lower energy consumption for reduced carbon emissions. The flat, stable surface of an IPCO steel belt means consistently high bake quality across the full belt width and also supports better and easier cleaning for maximum hygiene. 

 IPCO bake oven belts can be supplied in widths from 800 mm to 3 500 mm, enabling greater productivity without the need to invest in factory extensions or new facilities. An oven with a 1 500 mm wide belt offers almost twice the productivity of one with an 800 mm belt without any increase in line length.  

 Steel belts are lighter than wire mesh so cost up to 30% less to heat. Each time the belt exits the baking chamber, it begins to cool and has to be heated up again so savings are continuous. As much of 25% of an oven’s energy consumption is needed to heat the belt, so these savings can be considerable.  

 IPCO can also provide engineering support to optimize long-term belt performance and, if required, complete conveyors. Ancillary equipment is available including active and passive belt alignment solutions such as belt edge detectors, guide rollers and compact/automatic tracking devices 

 The company has production facilities in Americas, Asia and Europe and a worldwide technical service organization. Whatever the requirement – replacement belt, new installation or upgrade from wire mesh to steel belt – IPCO engineers can supply an effective solution.
