Reliable conveyor belts customized for any food production process
The Dutch Lesjöfors company Tribelt specializes in the manufacture of metal conveyor belts. A major business area is the food process industry. One customer case is the global food company McCain where Tribelt’s belts facilitate their European production.
McCain Foods is a Canadian company founded in 1957, with a production mainly focusing on frozen potato products. Their popular products are sold in 160 countries and with a global production capacity of half a million kilos per hour, McCain Foods makes one quarter of all the frozen fries products in the world. Since 2013, Tribelt supports McCains production facilities throughout North-west Europe with tailor made conveyor belts for their French fries production.
Assistance through the entire process
Annually, Tribelt supplies McCain Foods with conveyor belts that brings the fresh potatoes from station to station for refining and eventually ends up in bags of frozen French fries, delivered to food stores and supermarkets across Europe.
“McCain Foods is a good example of a customer which we have helped through the whole process, from advice and calculations early in the project to belt manufacturing from the customers unique process requirements. We also supervise installation and offer support when the belts are in use”, says Henri Veldhuis, Tribelt’s account manager for McCain.
