New plastics innovation improves consumer safety in meat processing industry
Your Global Compounder of Custom Engineered Thermoplastics New plastics innovation improves consumer safety in meat processing industry Safari Belting Systems manufactures modular plastic conveyor systems that are used extensively by meat processors. According to President Chris Smith, customers often come to them with specialty product requests, but one recent request led Safari to seek out a plastics compounder offering greater expertise than they had access to at the time. “It was a very positive experience --we were very glad to have found RTP Company,” he said. Smith notes that in the early days of meat processing, conveyors were made of stainless steel. In rare instances, a small metal chip might slough off a high speed belt and find its way into the ground meat.
