Olive processing in an olive mill requires belts that withstand continuous contact with brine, olive oil, water and acidic products without degrading or contaminating the product. Reception, washing, sorting, pitting and packaging lines need belts with non-slip surfaces, easy to clean and certified for food contact.
At NFP Industrial we supply Kunming Conveyor Belt Co., Ltd. belts specifically designed for the olive oil sector. NFP Industrial is headquartered in Elx (Alicante) and has a logistics warehouse in Valencia, in the heart of the main olive oil producing regions of Spain. We also operate in Argentina (Mendoza, San Juan) and Chile.
Recommended belts for olive mills
Oil-resistant PVC belts (AO)
Models with AO (anti oil) and AO/FDA features for direct contact with olives and olive oil. Embossed surface to prevent fruit rolling on inclines during reception and classification phases.
Recommended surface profiles:
- •BP (Button): for fruit retention on gentle inclines — reception and classification
- •SG (Supergrip): for inclined transport towards the milling hopper
- •T1/T2 (uni/bi-directional tooth): for vertical load elevators
PU belts for high-hygiene lines
When the olive is already processed — filled, pitted, packaged — and food contact demands maximum cleanliness. Smooth surface, FDA as standard, superior fat resistance compared to PVC. Ideal for the final packaging area where quality inspections are most stringent.
Homogeneous belts for packaging and IFS/BRC audits
For final packaging and packing lines where IFS/BRC audits are common. No internal fabric, aggressive washing without degradation. The absence of textile layers eliminates the risk of internal contamination and facilitates hygienic inspection.
