Keeping the food industry in motion
In today’s fast-paced food production landscape, there’s zero room for compromise. Hygiene must be impeccable. Efficiency is non-negotiable. And sustainability isn’t just a buzzword - it’s a mandate. That’s where Habasit UK steps in, revolutionising conveyor belting with innovative solutions that meet the industry’s growing demands for cleaner, faster, and smarter production.
As specialists in lightweight conveyor and processing belting, Habasit brings unmatched know-how to environments where hygiene is critical, and downtime is costly. Their mission? To keep the food industry moving - safely, efficiently, and sustainably.
From artisan bakeries to high-volume meat processors, Habasit’s cutting-edge belting technologies are tailored to meet the strictest compliance standards while delivering operational excellence.
Two products in particular are transforming the game for food manufacturers across the UK: the Saniclip quick-release system and the CIP Spray Bar automated cleaning solution.
Saniclip: Fast. Clean. Hassle-Free.
Maintenance doesn’t have to be a messy, time-consuming job. The Saniclip is Habasit’s answer to traditional belt maintenance challenges - offering a revolutionary, tool-free way to disassemble and reassemble belting systems. Designed with hygiene and speed in mind, it allows operators to clean belts thoroughly and rapidly, reducing downtime and improving safety across the board.
Why Saniclip Stands Out:
Tool-Free Maintenance
No need for spanners or screwdrivers. Saniclip makes it easy for teams to detach and reattach belts by hand, streamlining the cleaning process and simplifying routine maintenance tasks.
Boosted Efficiency
Shorter disassembly and reassembly times mean less disruption and more production. That’s uptime you can take to the bank.
Sustainability Benefits
Faster, more effective cleaning helps reduce water and detergent use - supporting both environmental goals and cost control.
Lower Total Cost of Ownership (TCO)
Every minute saved is money saved. Saniclip’s speed and simplicity directly translate into lower labour costs and higher productivity.
Saniclip is compatible with some of Habasit’s most advanced belting options, including:
- Cleandrive CDP50 – a homogenous, smooth-surfaced belt ideal for wet and contamination-prone environments
- SuperHyclean – engineered for food sectors where ultra-cleanability and hygiene are paramount.
In one real-world case, a bakery using an egg glaze production line reported dramatic improvements. With Saniclip, the maintenance team could rapidly remove and clean the conveyor belts, cutting cleaning times significantly and reducing contamination risks. The result? Safer operations, fewer disruptions, and improved overall performance.
CIP Spray Bar: Hygiene at the Push of a Button
When cleanliness is critical, automation is your ally. The CIP (Clean-In-Place) Spray Bar is Habasit’s game-changing system designed to keep belts spotless - without stopping the line or deploying intensive manual labour.
It automates the cleaning process, ensuring consistent hygiene while optimising resources.
Top Benefits of the CIP Spray Bar:
Consistent, Uniform Cleaning
The CIP Spray Bar delivers even, reliable cleaning across the entire belt surface, significantly lowering the risk of contamination.
Time and Labour Savings
With automated cleaning, staff are freed up for more valuable tasks. Plus, smart water and detergent usage keeps operating costs under control.
Effortless Integration
Built for seamless compatibility, the Spray Bar integrates smoothly into existing lines using Habasit belting – no major redesign needed.
Like Saniclip, the Spray Bar works in harmony with:
- Cleandrive CDP50 – its uninterrupted surface is perfect for automated spray cleaning.
- SuperHyclean – offering maximum food safety in the most demanding hygiene environments
Innovation That Adds Value
Habasit doesn’t just offer products - they offer solutions that solve real-world challenges. The Saniclip and CIP Spray Bar reflect a commitment to innovation, performance, and compliance, helping food producers raise their standards while lowering their costs.
