Ardo UK, one of Europe’s leading producers of high quality frozen vegetables, fruit, pasta and rice, has specified four of Habasit Rossi’s plastic link conveyor belts as part of a drive to improve efficiency at its manufacturing facility in Kent.

Trevor Sharp, engineering efficiency manager at Ardo UK, commented: “Habasit Rossi’s solution exceeded all of our expectations. Its belt lasted between 12 and 16 months, whereas competitor’s belts only last between three and four.” As the plant is run on a 25/5 production line, the belts were normally changed on overtime, a process that can take up to half a day. Using Habasit Rossi belts enabled Ardo UK to reduce maintenance labour costs by two days, not including associated down time.
