This function is now performed in Caffarel’s kitchens in partnership with Ammeraal Beltech – global specialists in conveyor belt systems, particularly for the food industry. Caffarel (a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Lindt & Sprüngli group) is one of the very first companies to enjoy the benefits of the latest innovation from Ammeraal Beltech: Premium Ropanyl Belts – just launched at the Cibus 2014 International Food Exhibition in Italy.

Food-safe and functional
The features of the versatile Premium Ropanyl Belts are ideally suited to the needs of master chocolatiers like Caffarel. They are thin, very flexible, shrink-free, non-fray, non-stick, and smooth-running, and meet all the strict hygiene requirements of the food industry. These are properties particularly valued for the consistent conveying of delicate bakery and confectionery items, as Flavio Falco, Maintenance Manager at Caffarel, confirms. ‘The new Premium Ropanyl Belts enable us to make our lovely confections at modern production speeds, without compromising their quality in any way’, says Mr Falco, adding that ‘they are proving to be an ideal solution for carrying our chocolates, undamaged, to the packaging line – and we benefit, too, from reduced maintenance, thanks to their durability and improved tracking.’
