Costacurta exports over 60% of its turnover and is a qualified supplier to the leading international companies that are involved in developing technology, providing engineering services and manufacturing systems and equipment for oil, petrochemical and chemical industries as well as the food, mechanical, textile, paper and wood industries.

The production

Costacurta sales structure is organized into three divisions:

• division ‘A’: filtering elements and fabricated parts


• division ‘B’: conveyor belts


• division ‘C’: components for the oil, petrochemical and chemical industries

As far as division ‘B’ conveyor belts is concerned, the production range includes:

Conveyor belts for spiral towers mainly used in the food industry for proofing, cooling and freezing processes, both on spiral towers and straight tunnels. Made from stainless steel, they are suitable for low temperatures down to -150 °C.

Straight conveyor belts for high temperatures. Their mesh geometry and the special alloys used make them suitable for applications at temperatures that range from about 600 °C to 1150 °C. These belts are generally installed in continuous ovens for heat treatments (hardening, normalizing, carbonitriding, solution heat-treatment) and for sintering and brazing.

Straight conveyor belts. These conveyor belts are made either from wires or from flat wires for temperature applications of up to 600 °C. This family includes a wide range of conveyor belts: belts made from wire spirals and connecting rods, from flat bars, from wire links and connecting wires, from high-resistance steel wires, woven belts and perforated slat belts. They are used in a number of different industrial processes.

Special conveyors complete with structures.

This category includes straight or curved metal structures for lifting or offloading, complete with conveyor belt. These structures can be supplied with motor on request.
