IPCO is the world’s largest supplier of solid and perforated steel belts to the food processing industry, and we supply a range of steel grades, thicknesses, widths and lengths to suit any process or product type.

More resistant to damage by corrosion, abrasion or impact than any other belt type, a stainless steel conveyor represents outstanding long-term value and delivers an excellent return on investment.

But the quality of greatest value to the food industry is its ease of cleaning: an IPCO stainless steel belt can be sanitised in whichever way is most appropriate: hot water, pressure, brushes, detergents, or chemicals.
