In the food industry, choosing the right conveyor is of crucial importance to ensure efficient production processes that comply with health and safety standards.
At Faber, we understand the specific challenges faced by food and beverage companies and we offer tailor-made solutions to meet their needs.
Flex industrial conveyors are chain conveyors. These chains are made of plastic material (POM). These conveyors are designed to transport a load of 400 kg max in a clean and dry environment. They find their usefulness within packaging lines for the food industry, but also pharmaceutical, cosmetics or any other light industry.
This kind of range of conveyors is often used to convey unitary products.
Min-max chain width: 43-295 mm
Flextoo industrial conveyors are modular belt conveyors. They are used for bulky and heavy products. This type of conveyor is mainly used for transporting packages, boxes, packs, etc.
They can support up to 2000 kg and can be used in environments loaded with cardboard dust. The usefulness of this type of conveyor is generally in the food, pharmaceutical and cosmetic industries, in order to handle bulky, packaged or boxed products.
Min-max belt width: 190.5-609.6 mm
Ball conveyors (CAB) can be used in production, packaging or sorting lines. These mats are made of POM or PP, and are used for clean and dry environments. It allows additional movements to be applied to products during conveying, and enables numerous functions.
It is used in the food industry, but also in the pharmaceutical, cosmetics and logistics sectors.
Mat width: ≥152.4mm
Uni-Chains belts for industrial conveyors are mainly used in the food industry. In fact, these modular mats are for the most part designed in accordance with current food standards.
Some of these rugs have been specially designed with so-called “open” surfaces. This means that they allow water to pass through in order to avoid water retention areas, but also to limit contact with food and facilitate cleaning of the carpets.
Scanbelt belts for industrial conveyors are, just like Uni-Chains belts, belts very widely used in the food industry. Most of these references are designed directly for this type of application.
It is also possible to obtain carpets with an “open” surface that is completely suitable for the food industry.
We have a large number of different models of chains for industrial conveyors. Some of them are compatible with the food industry.
Plastic and metal chains for industrial conveyors
Most of our plastic chains for industrial conveyors can be installed for food industry uses. Some of our plastic materials are also FDA approved or CE for direct contact with food, such as:
- Natural acetal (POM) “D”
- Low Friction Acetal “LF, LFA/WAF/WLF”
- Super Performance Acetal “SP, SLF”
- Extra additivated Acetal «SLX»
- Acetal MDA
- “HT” glass fiber reinforced polyester (if 304 or 316 stainless steel axles)

Metal chains are more rarely used in the food industry. It is nevertheless possible to use the Inox 304 or 18/8 SSA is CE or FDA approved for direct contact with food.
You can use products such as:
- Straight metal chains
- Monoplane chains
