Regal Rexnord
Plastic Modular Chain and Belt
Regal Rexnord plastic modular conveyor belts and chains are engineered conveying surfaces constructed from interlocking thermoplastic modules connected by full - width hinge rods.Under the Rexnord and KleanTop brands, these belts provide food processors, beverage bottlers, package handlers, and industrial manufacturers with a conveying medium that combines the strength and positive - drive characteristics of chain with the hygiene, cleanability, and product - release benefits of engineered plastics.Unlike fabric belts that absorb moisture, fray at edges, and harbor bacteria in their weave, plastic modular belts feature solid, non - porous surfaces available in open - grid, flat - top, flush - grid, and radius configurations that can be completely disassembled and sanitized.Sanitation managers and production engineers choose Rexnord plastic modular belts when their operations face daily washdown with hot water and caustic chemicals, when product - contact surfaces must meet FDA, USDA, and 3 - A sanitary standards, or when frequent product changeovers demand belt configurations that can be modified quickly without replacing the entire belt.Available in acetal for general - purpose applications, polypropylene for chemical resistance, and nylon - reinforced materials for high - strength heavy - load conveying, our plastic modular belt range spans widths from 50 mm to over 2,000 mm and can navigate straight runs, curves, inclines, and spiral configurations.

Trusted by Industry Leaders
Full Cleanability & Sanitary Compliance
Open - hinge, tool - free disassembly design with 100 % visual access to all product - contact zones meets the hygiene demands of meat, poultry, bakery, and dairy processing environments.
Positive - Drive Sprocket Engagement
Full - width sprocket engagement across the belt width eliminates tracking issues, slip, and tension fluctuations that plague fabric belts, ensuring consistent product spacing and transfer timing.
Chemical & Temperature Resistance
Material options withstand continuous exposure to acidic and caustic cleaning agents, steam sanitation, and process temperatures from freezing(-50°C) to oven proofing(+100°C).
Modular Replacement Flexibility
Damaged sections can be replaced module - by - module without removing the entire belt, reducing maintenance downtime from hours to minutes and avoiding complete belt scrapping costs.
Radius & Spiral Configuration Capability
Side - flexing belt designs negotiate tight turns and multi - tier spiral conveyors, maximizing product - path length within limited floor space for proofing, cooling, and freezing processes.
Wear - Strip & Sprocket System Optimization
Factory - engineered wear materials and sprocket profiles matched to the specific belt series ensure even wear distribution and maximum system life across all conveying zones.
Why Rexnord Plastic Modular Belts for Food Processing
Food processing environments present unique challenges that conventional conveyor belting technologies struggle to meet.Raw protein processing exposes belts to blood, fat, and tissue particulates that can embed in fabric surfaces and resist standard cleaning protocols.Bakery operations generate sticky dough residues, abrasive sugar accumulations, and high radiant heat from ovens.Beverage filling lines subject belts to constant moisture, acidic product spillage, and the mechanical stress of high - speed container handling.Rexnord KleanTop plastic modular belts address these challenges through material science and design: solid, non - absorbent module surfaces that release product residue during washdown; open - hinge geometries that allow complete fluid drainage and eliminate standing - water bacterial growth points; and fastener - free wear strips and sprocket components that reduce the time and labor required for daily sanitation.The NeXtgen II Wash Down Conveyor system, featuring an open frame design and tool - free belt disassembly, enables complete belt removal and reinstallation in minutes — not hours — transforming daily sanitation from a bottleneck into a competitive advantage.
Non - Food Industrial Applications for Plastic Modular Belting
Beyond the food industry, plastic modular conveyor belts deliver value in general manufacturing, logistics, and specialized industrial conveying applications.Automotive assembly plants use impact - resistant nylon modular belts on skillet conveyors that carry workers and vehicle chassis through assembly stations.Electronics manufacturers specify anti - static acetal belts that safely transport sensitive components without electrostatic discharge risk.Package distribution centers employ flat - top modular belts on merge, sort, and accumulation conveyors where the consistent surface and positive drive enable precise carton control at speeds exceeding 100 meters per minute.Pharmaceutical and cosmetic operations use plastic modular belts in cleanroom conveying where the smooth, non - particle - generating surface supports ISO 14644 air - cleanliness classifications.In each application, Regal Rexnord’s modular belt technology provides the combination of strength, cleanability, shape flexibility, and maintenance simplicity that traditional belting cannot deliver.
