Ammeraal Beltech continues to prove its commitment to a combination of quality and innovation through the ongoing introduction of new materials, accessories and hygiene concepts for the food industry.
A wide range of belts with excellent resistance to oils and fats, superb release characteristics, increased flexibility and for use with high or low temperature, is available to meet even the most strin-gent international standards of hygiene, both for direct contact as well as for packed product conveying.
Rely upon innovation, quality and our service
Process and conveyor belts are devel-oped and produced in various locations throughout the world by the most mod-ern techniques, based on expert knowl-edge and on thorough understanding of the application environment.
Forming, moulding, proving, cutting – these are just some of many baking processes. These processes require very special belt characteristics. In the Ammeraal Beltech range we have many profiled belts and surface materials to meet all baking applications.
The product’s feature:• Excellent release properties • Suitable for knife edge transfers • High temperature possible • Meets FDA requirements
The unique and complete product portfolio of Ammeraal Beltech, includes also Modular belts, Endless woven belts, seamless coated Engineered and Timing belts, and provides the best technical and efficient belting solution for biscuit, bread & bun, and pastry processing.

Hygienic Process and Conveyor belts for handling of bakery goods
Fabric based plied beltingAmmeraal Beltech supplies belting for every facet of the baking process from dough feed right up to packaging.
Designed to handle even the most difficult dough handling applications, our coatings are engineered for ma-chine dry, wet, and oily doughs, and employ fabrics with dimensional stabil-ity and flexibility for the best possible performance.
Fast becoming the food industry stand- ard, Ropanyl PU belting is hard-wear-ing, fat resistant, non-toxic, has high dimensional stability and is easy to install.
For wet processing of foodstuff, Nonex PVC coated belting gives excellent serv-ice across a wide variety of applications.

Hygiene conceptsTo make sure your production is able to meet the demand of freshness quality we offer our special hygiene concepts for the swift and convenient processing of the foodstuff:
• Amseal edge protection• AntiMicrobial concept • Range of Blue belts• KleenEdge belt construction• Hygienic Footless flights
Our Amseal belt protection completely seals the belt edges on all sides with thermoplastic strip to protect against external influences and circumstances.
A special KleenEdge construction is designed in such a way that the high strength reinforcement fabric is held securely in a tough non-cracking thermoplastic polyurethane sandwich. The KleenEdge constructions stop fibre pullout contamination and stop belt shrinkage.
Our superior design limits bacteria penetration and compliance with HACCP and your food safety standard takes place as a matter of course.
Belt fabricationAmmeraal Beltech belts can be made endless by means of various splicing methods. Semi-finished products are customized to exact requirements by using computer aided design tech-niques at local sites. This means that new and innovative solutions can be developed quickly and cost-effectively.
Belts can be fitted with accessories such as carriers, ropes and corrugated sidewalls, made endless and finally engineered with holes and grooves. Accessories are applied for tracking the belt, and to increase or ensure the conveying capacity.
Belt are executed with a variety of cover surfaces to achieve lower friction, good release properties or to make the belt suitable for inclined conveying.
Belts with AntiMi-crobial additives to assist in reducing the number of mi- crobes as food con-tact surfaces.
The colouring of the Blue belts makes it much easier to identify product contamina-tion and impurities can be spotted much faster.
Our high-frequency welded hygienic Footless flight can be fed over smaller drum diameters and cleaned thor-oughly, very easily and quickly.
Our curve belts ensure a smooth transport of products.

Modular beltingAmmeraal Beltech sets new standards in bakery industry with modular belting technology. The unique belt design maintains the highest hygiene stand-ards. The All-in-One series of modular belts is the perfect solution for combin-ing straight and inclined belts in one smooth continuous operating conveyor.
Modular belts are offering outstanding advantages:• Easy to clean surface and sprockets• No tracking problems due to positive drive• Easy repair and easy replacement resulting in low maintenance costs• Different food grade materials with easy release properties available in many colours e.g. food blue• Various open area belts for efficient cooling and easy cleaning• Accessories such as dividers, side plates, and high friction inserts are available
Where position-ing is important a modular belt with positive drive is the best solution
Our Modular belts in Acetal material with smooth hard surfaces can be used for accumula-tion and pushing off sideways
In case of pan- handling we offer heat resistant Modular belts with very low noise level compared to flat top steel belts
�2
Spiral modular belts The same design that has proven to be successful in standard radius applica-tions is also the best solution for many spiral systems. Today we are world- leader in plastic belts on spirals, having more installations in proving, drying, cooling, chilling and freezing applica-tions than any other manufacturer.
Our All-in-One series and Spiral Pro belts with a collapsing factor varying from 1.35 up to 2.2 offers a right belt for every spiral applation in bakeries.
In circumstances where an open belt construction is essential for the proc-ess, modular belting technology with low sanitation costs and low maintenance is the perfect solution for especially spiral applications in the food industry.
Over the years we replaced a lot of steel belts based on the following advantages of Modular belts:• 100% plastic parts eliminate product contamination from wear debris as caused by steel spiral belts• Meet USDA specifications for cleanability, available in FDA plastics for direct food contact• Non-stick surface reduces and/or eliminates frost, ice and other environmental build-up• Less power consumption due to lower belt weight and lower friction• High speeds possible, up to 2 m/s• No lubrication required
On-site supportOur technical spiral experts will come to you to review all aspects of the belt’s operation from system design to start-up or changes necessary to replace a steel belt. Either Ammeraal Beltech oversees the installation of your new spiral belt or you complete the installation yourself, we will be there to ensure that it runs exactly as intended.
Our Spiral belts are able to handle 7200 bread loafs of 800 gr. each per hour in cooling applica-tions.
Stainless steel belts are often replaced by a Modular belt, which is stron-ger, has a lower weight, and no wear debris.
Our Curved Top �’’ radius belt with easy release and non-stick proper-ties is a solution for proofing and freezing croissants.
