Manual cleaning required disassembling the conveyor belt, which was not feasible due to its great length: it would have entailed long downtimes, significant labor, and the risk of damaging the belt during disassembly and reassembly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The customer needed to clean and disinfect the belt in place, without dismantling it, without using chemicals, and without damaging the modular material.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:64px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns alignwide are-vertically-aligned-center mb-0 has-body-main-color has-primary-20-background-color has-text-color has-background is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-8f761849 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-vertically-aligned-center dnone-tablet is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:4.3%\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-vertically-aligned-center is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<div style=\"height:72px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer dnone-tablet\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"text-h6 has-secondary-color has-text-color wp-block-paragraph\">Solution Provided<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading text-h4\">Steam solution developed ad hoc by Giconmes<\/h2>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-vertically-aligned-center dnone-tablet is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:8.3%\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group alignwide\"><div class=\"wp-block-group__inner-container is-layout-constrained wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns alignwide has-body-main-color has-primary-20-background-color has-text-color has-background is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-8f761849 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-vertically-aligned-top dnone-tablet is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:4.3%\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-vertically-aligned-top is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Proposed Solution<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Giconmes installed its Jet System, an automatic saturated steam cleaning system designed for conveyors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The equipment is plug-and-play: it connects to the line without any construction work or changes to the conveyor and adapts to different belt widths. During startup, an initial calibration is performed and saved in memory, so subsequent cleaning cycles begin without the need for reconfiguration.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The system offers two operating modes:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Continuous sweeping of the entire conveyor belt for thorough sanitization.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Sector-by-sector cleaning, focusing on areas where the most debris accumulates, to optimize time and resource use.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The steam combines three actions: thermal, which melts and softens the adhered residue; mechanical, through the impact of the steam jet, which loosens and carries away the residue; and penetration through condensation, which allows the steam to reach the joints and hinges of the modular belt. All of this sanitizes the surface using nothing but water.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:32px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Technology used<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list is-style-arrow-list\">\n<li><strong>Jet System, an automatic saturated steam cleaning system for conveyors<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Continuous cleaning of the entire belt<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Sectional cleaning<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Saturated steam with triple action: thermal, mechanical, and penetration via condensation<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-vertically-aligned-stretch dnone-tablet is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:4.3%\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-vertically-aligned-top is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns alignfull is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-8f761849 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-vertically-aligned-top is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:100%\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-group\"><div class=\"wp-block-group__inner-container is-layout-constrained wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-8f761849 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:100%\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-1 wp-block-gallery-2 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\"><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"\u00bfC\u00f3mo limpiar una banda modular sin desmontarla? | Jet System | Giconmes\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/8ML4SWjTPvk?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:72px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-8f761849 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center text-h6 wp-block-paragraph\">CHALLENGES<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-align-center text-h4\">We meet our clients&#8217; requirements<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:32px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center wp-block-paragraph\">No need to remove the belt.
