How to help 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.
