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.

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.

Main fabrics used:

• Cotton (natural)
• Flax (natural)
• Polyamide (synthetic)
• Polyester (synthetic)

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
