Seafood
SS 316 belts for grading, freezing and packing in chloride environments.
Overview
Seafood is one of the most demanding environments for a belt — brine, chlorides, cold temperatures, and strict hygiene. SS 316 is the standard material, and belt construction must be corrosion-resistant end to end.
Common challenges
- Chloride corrosion
- Low-temperature operation
- Hygiene and CIP under strict food safety rules
- Product size variation
How ACME belts help
Flat flex and balanced weave belts in SS 316 deliver corrosion resistance, positive drive and hygienic construction for the full processing chain.
Typical applications
Frequently asked
Why SS 316 for seafood?+
