The ThermoDrive 8026 is a positive drive, food grade conveyor belt built for hygienic, high-uptime processing lines. Fabricated by Shipp Belting from homogeneous polyurethane (TPU) with a smooth top surface and a LUG-profiled bottom, it runs on a sprocket-driven positive drive system — eliminating the tracking and tensioning problems of conventional friction-driven belts.
Because the belt is a single, non-porous piece with no fabric plies, it resists moisture absorption and bacterial harboring, cleans quickly, and holds up to washdown environments. It is both FDA compliant and USDA approved, carries a blue cover for easy contaminant detection, and operates across a 20°F to 140°F range with a minimum pulley diameter of just 2 inches and widths up to 72 inches. The result is a durable, sanitary belting solution that reduces water, chemical, and downtime costs on demanding food production lines.
