The perfectly flat and smooth surface of a stainless steel belt conveyor means there are no crevices or textures in which germs could hide and breed, and the inherent strength of the material means it is resistant to damage, again minimizing risk of cuts where microbes could develop.

Above all though, the use of stainless steel allows thorough and effective cleaning by whatever means is most appropriate. This superior cleanability was highlighted in a report published by Finnish food laboratory VTT Expert Services Ltd., confirming that risk of bacterial build-up can be reduced, simply by upgrading to a stainless steel conveyor.
