Food processing conveyors are specialised conveyor systems designed to transport raw materials, semi-processed products, and packaged goods through production environments that require strict hygiene, corrosion resistance, and regulatory compliance.
Unlike standard industrial conveyors, food conveyor systems must:
IRP’s food-grade conveyor components are engineered specifically for these conditions.
IRP Engineering Plastics Powered by SystemFlex designs and manufactures food processing conveyor components that meet the demanding requirements of meat, poultry, bakery, dairy, seafood, fresh produce, and ready-meal production facilities.
From modular belting and plastic slat chains to wear strips, side guides, and stainless support structures, our conveyor systems are engineered to withstand washdowns, chemical exposure, temperature extremes, and 24/7 manufacturing demands.
We offer a comprehensive range of food processing conveyor solutions designed to meet the strict hygiene, durability, and performance demands of modern production facilities.
IRP modular belts are engineered specifically for hygienic food production environments. Available in open-grid, flush-grid, and solid-top configurations, these belts support efficient drainage, airflow, and easy cleaning during washdowns. Their interlocking modular design allows individual sections to be replaced quickly, reducing downtime and maintenance costs
Our plastic slatband chains provide smooth, reliable product transport in food processing and packaging lines. Designed for both straight-running and side-flexing conveyors, these chains ensure controlled product flow with minimal friction and reduced back pressure. They are particularly effective in high-speed operations such as packaging, filling, and transfer points.
Wear strips and chain guides play a critical role in protecting conveyor systems from premature wear. Our wear strips and guides are produced from low-friction, high-durability materials that reduce noise, energy consumption, and mechanical strain on chains and belts. These components improve chain tracking and stability, ensuring smooth product movement even under continuous operation.
Precision-engineered sprockets and idler wheels ensure accurate chain engagement and consistent tension throughout the conveyor system. Available in food-grade polymers and stainless steel, these components resist corrosion and withstand regular sanitation cycles. Properly designed sprockets reduce chain jump and uneven wear, while idler wheels provide stable return support and minimize drag. Together, they improve overall conveyor efficiency and extend system lifespan.
Side guides and bracket systems maintain precise product alignment, preventing tipping, misalignment, and jams during high-speed or curved conveyor movement. Adjustable bracket systems allow operators to fine-tune guide positioning for different product sizes and packaging formats. Designed for hygiene and durability, these systems are easy to clean and built to withstand continuous use in wet and chemical-exposed environments.
