Engineered Timing Belts

A wide selection of PU and PVC covering materials are available, for example: PVC Flexam, PVC Nonex and TPU Ropanyl. The materials are available in multiple colours.

Natural sponge rubber, neoprene sponge rubber and cellular polyethylene are some of the cellular covering materials Ammeraal Beltech is offering.

Construction varies in degrees from open cellular construction to very high density fully closed construction, with differing advantages and benefits.

Many colours are available.

In some cases, extraordinary requirements are imposed on the covering materials. Therefore, Ammeraal Beltech has a selection of special materials, with specific properties, colours and surfaces to meet customer demands.

For example, technopolymer is a material offering high grip, good oil and fat resistance, excellent abrasion and tear resistance.

Our Feeder Belts are used in folder gluer machines in the Corrugated Industry to feed the box dies.

Our Ultrafeed 500 cover, with its exceptional friction and wear-resistance, gives Feeder Belts excellent performance and a long service life.

Precision machining and a highly flexible Silam cover on a polyurethane aramide reinforced Timing Belt ensures maximum productivity and belt life, even at reduced ambient temperatures.

Haul-off and Cable-pulling Belts, designed to operate in pairs on caterpillars, are precision-made to exact specifications.

These belts hold folded boxes which have been glued carefully in place during transport and drying.

The weight of the belt holds the boxes down and the soft thick belt cover adapts to the shape of any folded box, large or small.

Products such as diapers and sanitary pads are assembled with high precision on moving belts at speeds up to 400 meters per minute.

The high-friction cover on these belts, together with the vacuum that is applied, hold the product in place while it is assembled, cut, folded and packed.

High performance belts for this demanding application.

Thanks to their friction covers, Pull-down Belts consistently move a plastic film (wrapped around a steel tube) downwards in a controlled start-stop movement.

Semi-finished belts can be customised to exact requirements.

In our fabrication centres, belts are trimmed to size for length and width. Belts can be made endless by means of various splicing methods and can be engineered with holes and grooves.

They can also be fitted with accessories such as carriers, ropes, cleats and sidewalls.

Covering materials determine a belt’s unique set of properties, such as friction, flexibility; wear resistance and oil and fat resistance.

Ammeraal Beltech can apply an extra cover to almost any base belt, whether it is a standard belt, a high-performance flat belt or a timing belt. We offer an extensive range of covering materials, including rubbers, PVC, polyurethane, cellular materials and other special materials.

Our belts can be made endless by various methods:

• Splicing
• Welded joint
• Fasteners
• Jointing tools

Examples of machining are:

• Grooves for v-guides and for vacuum belts
• Perforated holes created by water jet cutting, punching or drilling
• Grinding (full surface or profiles)
• Embossing of thermoplastic covers
• Milling recessed slots

Cleats are a popular accessory. Different types are available.

Welding of cleats to belt can be done with infrared welding, friction welding or contact heated tool welding. Cleats are available with metal teeth to enable mechanical attachment to the belt.

In the case of PU belts, welded-on profiles / cleats can be made from the same material as the body of the belt.

Fabricated v-guides are available for timing belts: PU Linear, PU Torque and PU Moulded Belts.

V-guides can be fit to any belt type in any width and length combination.

The guides can be glued on and can also be added onto the back side of the belt.

Pulleys for timing belt applications can be selected from the standard range or they can be manufactured according to specific drawings and requirements. Standard range consists of pulleys for all common timing belts with standard widths, diameters and construction.
