Thailand James Lee solve Sausage belt demand
Guangzhou Yonghang Transmission Belt Co. , Ltd. was founded in 2014, is a focus on the Rubber belt research
and development manufacturers. Yonghang company has 10000 square meters of production base, the
introduction of domestic and foreign advanced manufacturing equipment more than 50 units and so on.
Mold more than 2000 sets, annual output of various types of rubber belt 500,000. The main products for the
rubber belt series of products, such as: Coated timing belt, Coated Flat belt, rubber haul off belts ,PU Timing
belt ,ATM flat belt ,Sausage machine belt ,Printer Belt and so on. There is especially high demand in the densely
populated Thailand countries for entire production lines from Inotec. The company’s portfolio encompasses
the entire sausage producing process: grinding, mixing, tying off and cutting. So,YONGHANG how do timing
belts help this major sausage manufacturer? The four YONGHANG polyurethane timing belts arranged in pairs
continuously convey the sausage string through the machine. A three-edged rotating blade is mounted between
the two pairs of timing belts and is driven by a dynamic servo motor. The advantage of this system: A light barrier,
located two to three centimetres upstream of the blade, detects each twisted link and provides the signal for the blade.
The servo motor is accelerated and braked in a defined manner for each individual sausage so that the cut is executed
with millimetre precision between the sausages. Each sausage is measured, so differences in length do not present any
problems. Timing belt coating as a unique selling point. Thailand customer consultant James Lee: “We were looking
for a food grade approved timing belt coating that was suitable for all products, i.e. fresh and cooked sausages. The
approximately 2 mm high nubs have to hold the sausage slip-free without damaging the casing. The surface has to
be slightly rough to transfer sufficient friction. That was quite a challenge!” The rubber-like coating looks simple
enough but requires a very high quality with regard to the edges of the nubs. The radii have to meet tight tolerances
to ensure perfect transport. From the beginning, we advised using a special tooth pitch (T9/T5/T10) due to the very
demanding coating and special coating bond. This made it possible to prevent it from being copied by low-quality
products, which would result in complaints for our customer,” “At the time we didn’t realise how much trouble
and cost this special pitch would save us, as we later had to experience with another machine type with standard pitch.
” YONGHANG have the stocks, design skills, and manufacturing expertise to meet the most demanding of briefs.
