Belting, Hose, and Fabrication Services for Wine, Grapes, and Brewing

Green Rubber-Kennedy Ag offers these fabrication services for wine, grape, and brewing applications:

In-House Belt Customization

We manufacture high-quality, dependable belts that are developed for the specific needs of bottling lines, wash conveyors, and grape harvesters. Our custom belts feature vulcanized splicing, perforations, and sealed edges for use with inclined or specialized layouts.

These belts resist damage from cleaning solutions and acidic grape juice, and they meet FDA and EU 1935/2004 food-contact regulations. Our grape harvester belts have solid covers and curved transverse cleats that can withstand contact with juice and vineyard abrasion while complying with industry standards.

Field Repair and Replacement Services

Our qualified field technicians support bottling and harvest operations with field repair and replacement services:

These services help keep mash filler, transfer, and washdown lines operating efficiently, and our rapid response significantly reduces downtime during peak crush and production seasons.

Belt Products for the Wine, Grape, and Brewing Industry

In the last 30 years we have developed expertise in lightweight, hygienic conveyor belt materials and products for food and beverage applications like these:

Grape Harvester and Wash Belts

Our grape harvester and wash belts are FDA-compliant and meet EU 1935/2004 standards, with straight or curved cleats that are welded for stability. The individual cleats on these belts are replaceable, helping to reduce downtime and costs, and the modular construction supports seasonal usage. They are specifically designed to maintain quality during harvest, resisting acidic grape juice, cuts, and impacts.

Bolting and Packaging Conveyor Belts

Our bolting and packaging conveyor belts feature precision tracking for compatibility with complex bottling lines. Flame-retardant and static-dissipative options are also available to reduce dust and protect electronics. These belting solutions facilitate seamless transition to packaging zones, offer excellent sanitation capabilities, and produce little noise during high-speed runs.

Brewery and Sanitation Fluid Handling Belts

Our brewery and sanitation fluid handling systems feature modular plastic link belts and stainless steel frames, meeting FDA, USDA, and 3-A standards for sanitation. They also stand up to frequent washdowns and CO2 to support clean operations in kegging, filling, and canning lines.
