BRECOprotect® Timing Belts

About this product

Specifically designed for the food and pharmaceutical industry

The BRECOprotect product line is specifically designed for the food and pharmaceutical industry. BRECOprotect are timing belts with steel cords completely enclosed in polyurethane, to protect them against corrosion.

According to the requirements of the food and pharmaceutical industry, all BRECOprotect timing belts are made of polyurethane in line with the compliance criteria of FDA 177.1680, the European Regulation 1935/2004, EU 10/2011, the European Commission Directives 90/128/CEE and 96/11/CE. The blue colour of the product range follows the general market trend toward a special food industry colour scheme.

BRECOprotect timing belts are designed specifically to meet the stringent requirements for food contact materials and the necessary cleaning processes involved. The design of these timing belts without coiling nose, prevents the build up of concealed and difficult to remove deposits and facilitates the cleaning process.

BRECOprotect timing belts are also suitable for use in moist environments, where there are severe limitations on the use of conventional timing belts on account of the effects of hydrolysis. The timing belts are available as open length (M) and endless welded (V) belts. The need for protection of the tension cords requires special care for additional mechanical processing of the polyurethane belt body. Belt designs with welded flights are in principle possible. The mandatory approved material and blue colour is recommended.
