What ScanBelt does

ScanBelt A/S is a Denmark-based (Hjørring) privately-held manufacturer of modular plastic conveyor belts serving industrial customers globally. The firm's product platform consists of interlocking plastic modules available across five nominal pitches (6.25 mm S.06 through 75 mm S.75) and three engineering plastic materials — Polyacetal (POM), Polypropylene (PP), and Polyethylene (PE) — each offering different belt pull strength, chemical resistance, and temperature tolerance. A separate family of radius belts (J.101, J.450, S.100R, S.101, S.201, S.250) is engineered to run in S- and J-curves for spiral cooler and freezer applications. Supporting components include sprockets and center modules, and certain products are protected by EU Registered Community Design (RCD) and Registered Trademark.

The company sells into food and beverage processing as its primary vertical — seafood (IQF freezers, mussel sorting, salmon gutting, prawn sorting), bakery (cooling of bread, buns, pies, pizza handling), dairy (cheese and ice cream lines), meat and poultry, and fruit and vegetables — with secondary application in automotive manufacturing (including VW-Argentina), material handling and packaging operations, and special applications such as Royal Opera House logistics. Sales are executed through a global distributor network across Europe, Africa, North America, Oceania, Asia & Middle East, and South America, supplemented by direct enquiry-handling and downloadable technical resources (CAD files, 3-D PDFs, data sheets, engineering programs) for engineering-led specification. Pricing is quote-based, listed in Danish Kroner exclusive of VAT, with no public price list.

The business model is straightforward industrial B2B equipment manufacturing: one-time sales of belt systems, sprockets, and accessories to enterprise customers either directly or through regional distributors, with multi-year service relationships on long-life conveyor installations. The firm markets itself as one of the world's leading manufacturers of modular plastic conveyor belts with the largest and most flexible product program on the market. No revenue, headcount trend, or funding events are disclosed in the available data.

Core offering

ScanBelt manufactures and sells modular plastic conveyor belts in multiple pitch sizes (6.25mm to 75mm) and configurations for industrial applications. The company produces straight-running belts, radius belts for spiral coolers and freezers, and accessories (sprockets, center modules) made from engineering plastics (POM, PP, PE), and distributes globally through a network of regional distributors serving food processing, automotive, packaging, and material handling industries.

Product overview

ScanBelt is a manufacturer of modular plastic conveyor belt systems. The product portfolio consists of multiple belt series differentiated by nominal pitch size (6.25 mm S.06, 12.5 mm S.12, 25 mm S.25, 50 mm S.50, 75 mm S.75), each available in various surface configurations (open, perforated, closed flat top, friction, structure with nubs/cones, net patterns, non-skid). The range includes straight-running belts and dedicated radius belts (J.101, J.450, S.100R, S.101, S.201, S.250) capable of operating in S- and J-curves for spiral cooler and freezer applications. Belts are manufactured in three plastic material options: Polyacetal (POM) providing the highest belt pull strength, Polypropylene (PP) for mid-range applications, and Polyethylene (PE) for lighter-duty use. Supporting accessories include sprockets (10T and 11T) and center modules. The company distributes globally through regional distributors and serves diverse industries including bakery, dairy, meat and poultry, seafood, fruit and vegetables, material handling, packaging, and automotive.

One partnership is on record.

• University of Southern Denmark (SDU)minorStrategic or Co-development PartnerIn fall 2019, ScanBelt partnered with engineering students from SDU to support their beach cleaning robot project 'Beachbuddy'. ScanBelt provided modular belts as components for the prototype, valued for their adjustability, light weight, and robustness. The project developed an autonomous beach cleaning solution using grain auger technology to separate sand and waste.
