2. Features & Standards Ammeraal Beltech Synthetic Belts are designed to meet the specific needs of the industries in which they are used. We offer a broad array of materials, constructions, colours and unique features of design created through collaboration with industry leaders in the segments we service. Some of our features & standards are: • Food grade We manufacture belts for use in high or low temperatures, with excellent resistance to oils and fats and superb release characteristics. To ensure food safety and to avoid any food contamination, a complete range of belts is available in...

• Low noise, Flame-retardant, Impact Resistant We offer low noise belts, flame retardant belts and belts designed to handle impact and abrasion; all of which is required in todays high speed logistics and airport environments. • High grip Our high grip belts are specifically designed to increase the friction between the belt and the products being carried. This is often needed for inclined transport or in slippery conditions. High grip characteristics can be obtained by using cover surface profiles (embossing). • Wear-resistant We offer a range of wear-resistant belts that are specifically...

There are more usages for Synthetic Belts besides the normal A-to-B (horizontal) conveying of goods, where a specific belt is needed to get the job done. • Troughed (roller support) Process- and Conveyor type examples: • Troughed conveyors • Curved conveying • Inclined or declined conveying • Accumulation Curved belts are used to change the direction of travel of goods (between 30 and 180 degrees), for sorting purposes or when saving floor space is crucial. Used to convey bulk materials such as sand, grain, sugar, etc. The belts need to have good lateral flexibility. • Curved conveying •...

4. Materials Our comprehensive range of Synthetic Belts is able to fulfil the application needs for light to heavy processing and conveying applications. Synthetic conveyor belts are made of fabrics with a coating on the top and/or bottom side. A belt consists of one or more fabric plies to give features such as strength, stability and impact resistance. The coatings used on Synthetic Belts are called polymers and can be made of various materials which can be of influence on the suitability of the belt in a certain application. Main used compounds for coatings are: • PVC: Flexam, Nonex •...
