Polyvinyl chloride, commonly abbreviated to PVC, is a widely produced plastic. PVC is a type of thermoplastic polymer that is flexible and durable, and therefore suitable for use on conveyor systems.
Main PVC coating types:
Flexam
Nonex
Arcon

Polyurethane belts are mainly used in the Food Industry. Due to its structure, polyurethane belts do not give off damaging toxins or chemicals. Polyurethanes for process and conveyor belting can be either thermoplastic – TPU, or thermoset – PUR. Thermoplastic polyurethane coating material excels through its exceptional resistance to grease, oils and chemicals.
Main polyurethane coating types:
Ropanyl (TPU)
Ropanol (PUR)
Ropan (PUR)
・Belts with thermoplastic polyurethane coating
・Very flexible even at low temperatures
・Very good resistance to oil and fat
・Good abrasion resistance
・Food compliance for all foodstuff
・Available in many colours, and with profiles
・Ropanyl Premium Plus = Non-fray
Manufactured with a unique top side coating, Duraclean provides low convey-side surface energy to improve the release of sticky products often found in the Bakery & Confectionery food segments and more in general in the Food Industry.
・High temperature resistance, withstanding peaks up to +130 °C
・2-ply thermoplastic polyurethane in white and light blue
・Top flexibility up to only 6 mm diameter on fix knife edge
・Low friction on bottom side
・Food grade compliant as regards EC 1935/2004, EU 10/201, and FDA
Dectyl XMD belts are like insurance, protecting your brand reputation, and preventing expensive product recalls.
・Belts with unique heavy duty polyurethane coating
・Extremely good abrasion and cut resistance
・Thermoplastic inner layer, suitable for hot splicing
・Available in white colour
Experience and extended application knowledge enabled Ammeraal Beltech to develop a belt specifically for the Electronics Industry: for the conveying of electrostatic discharge sensitive components.
Polyolefins are the largest group of thermoplastics; they are polymers of simple olefins such as ethylene. Polyethylene is probably the polymer you see most in daily life; it is the most popular plastic in the world.
Main polyethylene coating types are:
Peflex
Poliflex
Polikleen
Polyester is a category of polymers that contain the ester functional group in their main chain. Our polyester coating type:
Amtel
By mixing polymers together, Ammeraal Beltech produces variations on PVC or PU called “Special Blends”. E.g.:
Pletex (red): a special thermoplastic low hardness polyblend for high grip applications
Elastoflex: a rubber / PVC compound which combines the excellent mechanical properties of PVC with the wear resistant characteristics of rubber
Elastonyl: a rubber / TPU compound which combines the excellent mechanical properties of TPU with the wear resistant characteristics of rubber
Ultraclean: a special compound of TPU with a high tech polymer with superior release properties
Fabric and Felt belts are used in a wide variety of material transport applications such as car manufacturing, food processing and heavy industry. Felt is a non-woven fabric. The most important raw material for belting fabrics is polyester.
