All drive parts were made of stainless steel, and rollers were designed to be serviceable (e.g., re-greasing) to ensure continuous operation in harsh 24\/7 conditions where downtime is unacceptable. This comprehensive integration enhanced the consistency and reliability of tapioca transportation, reduced wear and tear, and minimized maintenance needs. The robust design of the Broekema belts and stainless steel drive components ensured long-term durability and efficiency, leading to increased productivity and improved starch quality.
