AMMdrive belts made with TPU (thermoplastic polyurethane) deliver an excellent balance of flexibility and durability, making them a reliable choice for many demanding applications. They’re ideal where hygiene, oil resistance, and abrasion protection are essential.
Materials and features
AMMdrive belts are produced in different materials (PVC, TPU & TPE), thicknesses, colors and with different features. Therefore, each belts represents unique specification tailored for the need of your conveyor and application.
AMMdrive U
AMMdrive U belts made with TPU (thermoplastic polyurethane) are the go-to solution for demanding food-grade applications where hygiene, mechanical durability, and tracking reliability are essential. Available in light blue and white, these belts are fully food-grade, with a sealed, encapsulated construction for optimal sanitation.
Key features:
- Fully sealed edges and coated top and bottom surfaces for easy cleaning
- Available in 1-ply (highly flexible) and 2-ply (dimensionally stable) versions
- Compatible with both PRO and PRO mini lug designs for self-tracking and positive drive
- Available in smooth glossy, matt (non-stick), or profiled surfaces for controlled product flow
The self-tracking design of AMMdrive U eliminates the most common cause of belt failure in traditional friction-driven systems: misalignment. By avoiding tracking issues, these belts help reduce unplanned downtime, minimize belt replacement frequency, and lower maintenance costs – delivering a reliable, cost-efficient alternative to solid homogeneous belts.
TPE
AMMdrive belts with TPE (Thermoplastic Elastomer) are built to handle tough environments where heat, chemicals, and mechanical stress play a role.
With temperature resistance up to +110 °C, they also maintain excellent stability in sub-zero conditions – staying flexible, crack-resistant, and mechanically sound without becoming brittle.
TPE belts are ideal for applications requiring high product temperature and aggressive cleaning routines. Thanks to their hard top layer, thicker 2-ply versions offer outstanding mechanical strength and long-lasting durability.
AMMdrive E
AMMdrive E belts made with TPE (thermoplastic elastomer) are built for demanding conditions that combine thermal extremes, chemical exposure, and mechanical wear. Available in both 1-ply and 2-ply constructions, they offer a reliable solution for a wide range of high-performance conveying tasks.
PVC
AMMdrive belts with PVC (polyvinyl chloride) coating offer a smart, economical choice for general conveying applications.
With a working temperature range from -15 °C to +80 °C, they deliver consistent performance in both food and non-food settings. PVC stands out with its natural UV and chlorine resistance, making it especially suited for food industry environments where intense cleaning routines are common.
The material is easy to fabricate, supports a wide range of belt constructions, and provides excellent dimensional stability at a great value.
AMMdrive V
AMMdrive V belts made with PVC are the most cost-effective solution in the AMMdrive family – ideal for general material handling where reliability and simplicity matter most. Available in 1-, 2-, and 3-ply constructions, they offer the right balance of flexibility and stability for a wide range of conveying tasks.
Key features:
- Available in green and light blue – with the latter also suiting light hygienic environments
- UV-resistant, making AMMdrive V the only AMMdrive range suitable for outdoor use
- Offers full self-tracking and positive drive, minimizing belt drift and edge wear
- Designed to reduce maintenance complexity in setups where belt changeovers are time-consuming or disruptive
Two fabric options extend the versatility of the AMMdrive V range:
- Flexible fabric for use in trough conveyors, common in fruit and vegetable bulk transport
- Extra rigid fabric for stability in steep incline and swan neck conveyors, even under heavy load
AMMdrive VN
AMMdrive U belts made with TPU (thermoplastic polyurethane) are the go-to solution for demanding food-grade applications where hygiene, mechanical durability, and tracking reliability are essential. Available in light blue and white, these belts are fully food-grade, with a sealed, encapsulated construction for optimal sanitation.
Key features:
- Fully sealed edges and coated top and bottom surfaces for easy cleaning
- Available in 1-ply (highly flexible) and 2-ply (dimensionally stable) versions
- Compatible with both PRO and PRO mini lug designs for self-tracking and positive drive
- Available in smooth glossy, matt (non-stick), or profiled surfaces for controlled product flow
