Ammeraal Beltech offers a complete range of high-quality power transmission belts for industry, suitable for a wide variety of production equipment.
From classic nylon core belting to belt constructions with special fabrics for low tensions and thermoplastic inner layers, we can offer you the best belting solution for your specific application.
Surface covers include fabric, leather, natural rubber, elastomer and many thermoplastic coatings. For special applications seamless covers are available.
Stable running at high-speed
Excellent tracking
Wear-resistant
Maintenance-free
Energy efficient
Drive Belts
Drive Belts are flexible, relatively inexpensive, simple to install and maintain and require minimal space. Perhaps most significant is their high efficiency – nearly 99%.
This high efficiency is achieved thanks to lower bending losses (due to the thin cross section), low creep because of special friction covers and high modulus of elasticity traction layers.
The perfect solution for hydro plants, saw mills, fan drives and many other drive applications.
Tangential Belts
A Tangential Belt drives hundreds of spindles on a ring spinning frame on which the roving will be stretched by the multiplier of 40-50 and be twisted and wound on a coil.
The higher the speed of the spindles, the better the quality, so high performing belts are key.
Spindle Tapes
RAPPLON® Spindle Tapes improve your final yarn quality.
They make spindles run at a constant speed thanks to stable tension members which avoid nasty elongation problems during their entire life time.
Spindle Tapes are also popular on yarn finishing processes like twisting, doubling and fancy yarn twisting where heavier loads may demand a stronger tape.
Medium friction on both sides

Process Belts Range
Web Folder Tapes
Ammeraal Beltech offers the latest belting technology for speedy folding in web offset and rotogravure printing systems.
Dust, freshly printed paper moving between belts and constant friction create demanding challenges.
RAPPLON® Web Folder Tapes use a special blend of fabrics that are resistant to commonly used finishing solvents. They are capable of coping with constant friction against abrasive paper and provide a prolonged service life.
Print Finishing Belts
RAPPLON® Process Belts, with a high grip elastomer surface, are the best choice for feeding, laminating, cutting, addressing, packaging, punching, etc.
Our offer is complete with a full range of Elastic Belts covering a variety of strengths and different surface characteristics such as high, medium or low friction. Our solution for applications without tensioning systems.
Folder Gluer Belts
In the Box Folding Industry, it’s about precision, speed, durability and reliability.
Our new RAPPLON® Folder Gluer Belts provide improved performance plus the advantage of Food Grade covers for use in sensitive applications. Our belts meet both FDA and EC standards for contact with dry foodstuffs giving extra peace of mind.
The special construction of RAPPLON® Food Grade Folder Gluer Belts also reduces energy bills.
Tube Winder Belts
RAPPLON® Tube Winder Belts are developed to wrap tensioned plies of glued paper around pulleys and mandrels in the production of paper tubing.
Made of highly stretched polyamide foil, the tensile member is specifically designed to master high forces with precise tracking and high load fluctuations.
Our wear-resistant rubber compound, specially designed for spiral winding, produces extremely precise tubes and provides the longest lifetime when processing small and medium size tubes.
Elastic Belts
Just fit and forget!
The combination of dimensional stability with easy tracking makes this range absolutely maintenance-free. Quality prime materials make our Elastic Belts highly reliable and as they require lower tension, this preserves your bearings and extends the overall lifetime of the belt and conveying equipment.
RAPPLON® Elastic & Metal Detectable Belts are specifically made for food, beverage and pharmaceutical industry applications. They have been designed to filter out foreign bodies coming from broken belt parts from food, minimizing the risk of belt contamination, and ensuring that food production process remains streamlined and safe.
Postal Automation Belts
Billions of letters to sort? Bring it on!
Ammeraal Beltech is a leading belting supplier to major global OEMs and is geared to meet the exact demands of the Mail Sorting Industry.
Highly efficient rubber coatings guarantee accurate pitch between the letters, resulting in reliable performance on all kind of sorters.
Special gentle covers avoid marking or damaging the letters on stackers and around bull wheels.
Roller Drive Belts
Roller drive systems can be found everywhere – in logistics, in warehousing, in manufacturing and in the Food Industry.
There are three main types of systems.
High friction on both sides
In today’s material handling and logistics applications, live roller conveyor drives are essential. Product transportation from A to B, order picking and sorting processes are done on live conveyor rollers driven by strong and narrow flat belts.
We offer belts for all drive layouts:
- Continuous running
- Zero pressure
- Exciter / activator belts

RAPPLON® Splicing Methods and Tools
The RAPPLON® flat belt range can be made endless by using one of two methods:
Classic Splice
QuickSplice
Classic Splice
This traditional splicing method involves skiving both ends of the belt and the application of an adhesive.
The strength of a classic joint (wedge skive) is close to the belt strength thanks to skilled and experienced staff. In order to achieve well prepared classic joints, you will find all needed tools including instructions for the whole process in our portfolio.
RAPPLON® Classic Splice tools
RAPPLON® splicing tools are available from your local Ammeraal Beltech sales office.
QuickSplice
The QuickSplice joining system (finger joint) in combination with our joining tools guarantee quick and safe endless joining without the use of any adhesives. Resulting joints are highly flexible and durable.
- Allows for quick and easy on-site splicing
- All tools fit in one easily portable case
- Set comes with heating pliers with adjustable temperature settings
- Our splicing technology produces consistent thickness over a perfectly straight joining area
- Safe joint, perfectly aligned, everybody can splice
- Reduce downtime – increase uptime
