In 1947, seventeen-year-old J.M. Lapeyre co-invented the first industrial shrimp peeler, which would revolutionize the shrimp processing industry. Spurred by a massive demand for shrimp, J.M. Lapeyre wanted to move the shrimp peelers onto metal conveyor belts, but faced challenges such as rust and corrosion while moving the peeled shrimp on metal conveyor belts. He approached major rubber and steel conveyor belt manufacturers to produce a modular plastic belt, but was repeatedly told that it was not feasible.
Undeterred, J.M. Lapeyre went on to invent the first-ever modular plastic conveyor belt in 1970, leading to the foundation of Intralox in 1971. The company’s modular plastic belting solutions revolutionized the conveyor belt segment 50 years ago, as they helped industries overcome pressing challenges such as retensioning, tracking, and edge fraying leading to foreign material contamination.
In today’s industrial world, Intralox modular plastic conveyor belting is the standard technology across a wide variety of industries including food, tire, beverage, container, and more. With 50 years of experience, Intralox leads the way in conveyor belting by helping customers achieve their goals with a comprehensive set of conveyance solutions
that helps generate significant economic value.
Always striving to move beyond industry standards with new products, equipment, and solutions, the company’s commitment to invention has led to the introduction of over 800 patented products from around the world. These products include Activated Roller Belt technology, FoodSafe belting, and the ThermoDrive tensionless belt system.
Beyond innovative conveyance solutions, Intralox ensures that its products remain maintenance-free and have a long operational life through a combination of services such as layout optimization, conveyor design inputs, and software tools along with in-depth technical services—all of which set the company apart when it comes to delivering optimal convey-or belt solutions.
