In the sugar manufacturing industry, where product quality, hygiene, and safety are top priorities choosing the right material handling system is essential. White rubber conveyor belts for the sugar industry are an optimal solution, helping sugar producers improve operational efficiency, maintain cleanliness, and ensure superior product quality throughout the production process.
What Is an FDA White Rubber Conveyor Belt for the Sugar Industry?
A white rubber conveyor belt for the sugar industry is a specialized rubber belt designed to transport powdered, granular materials or packaged products such as sugar, sugarcane, syrup, and related ingredients. Made from food-grade white rubber, the belt is odorless, non-toxic, and easy to clean, fully meeting strict hygiene and food safety standards in sugar and food processing applications.
A key advantage is that the belt edges are often fully molded and sealed according to custom specifications, preventing fraying, extending service life, and minimizing the risk of contamination during operation.

Structure of White Rubber Conveyor Belts for Sugar Processing
White rubber conveyor belts used in the sugar industry typically feature a smooth surface for easy cleaning and reduced material adhesion. The standard structure includes:
-
Top rubber cover: White, food-grade rubber with excellent anti-adhesion and abrasion resistance
-
EP/NN fabric plies: Enhance tensile strength and limit belt elongation
-
Bonding rubber layer: Securely holds fabric plies together
-
Bottom rubber cover: Protects the belt when in contact with rollers and reduces friction
