Conveyance
Within the steps of processing food it is critical to move the food from stage to stage and into packaging. Conveyor systems can come in contact with your product during every stage of production. Selecting the right materials is critical to avoid potential contamination while providing longevity in use and reducing Mean Time Between Repairs (MTBR). NAP offers the broadest portfolio of multi-compliant plastic materials to support the conveyance market from a wide range of physical properties to various levels of detectability.
