Vores nye intelligente løsning til overvågning af bælter – AMMcare Connect 

Have you ever missed a sign that something is wrong with your belt? 

Perhaps you’ve noticed too high belt temperature too late. Or haven’t realized there are anomalies in belt speed or vibration. Nevertheless, the belt had to be repaired or replaced, which resulted in downtime and unplanned costs. 

Now, imagine you have a solution that monitor belt speed, distance and history in a live dashboard and receive notifications with alerts. You get a chance to act before it’s too late and prevent downtime. 

That was what we had in mind when we came up with our latest digital innovation in predictive maintenance – AMMcare Connect. 

Belt monitoring system – how it transforms belt maintenance  

AMMcare Connect is a smart belting solution which allows you to track the key measurements in real time and monitor belt performance and condition. 

Instead of waiting for equipment to break down or relying on fixed service intervals, you can now take advantage of digital belt maintenance tools.  

How exactly AMMcare Connect makes it possible? 

How does smart belting solution work? 

AMMcare Connect integrates RFID chips in the conveyor belts. This allows us to measure belt speed, belt distance and other key performance indicators. 

It’s the first smart belting solution in the light- and medium conveyor industry! 

Our solution enables real-time tracking of belt speed, slippage, temperature, vibration, and operating history through a powerful, user-friendly live dashboard.

How to install AMMcare Connect? 

AMMcare Connect is a solution which can be retrofitted easily to existing conveyors; it does not require a connection to the machine and its controller. It can be installed quickly, operates independently and does not allow operational changes remotely to ensure peace of mind when it comes to security and business continuity. 

It’s a secure solution. Connected belt has encryption built in all devices, services and endpoints. Authentication is done through Microsoft’s Azure B2C and supports Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA). 

Once installed, you can give access to all stakeholders that inspect, maintain and manage conveyors. They will get access to a dashboard for live monitoring and issue analysis and receive an email when thresholds are being exceeded at the conveyor.

We’re excited to announce that we are expanding the Dectyl range with Dectyl XMD, our next step forward in food safety on risks of foreign bodies.  

With Dectyl XMD, you’ll be able to detect any of its broken fragments with X-ray and metal detectors. That’s what we call a dual detectable solution. 

Why Dectyl XMD belts are a game-changer in food production 

The Dectyl XMD synthetic belt acts like insurance for your production line. It is designed to detect broken belt fragments with proven sensitivity control, helping you safeguard both your brand reputation and consumer safety.  

With Dectyl XMD, food manufacturers gain a powerful ally in the fight against contamination. This innovative belting solution offers: 

• Dual detection capability – engineered to be identified by both metal detectors and X-ray systems, ensuring plastic belt broken fragments don’t go unnoticed 

• Seamless 1:1 replacement for traditional belts, with no compromise on lifetime, strength, flexibility, or operational performance 

• Confidence in high-risk environments, where food safety, hygiene, and quality control are absolutely critical 

• A proactive, preventive strategy against foreign body contamination, helping protect consumers and protect your brand image 

Validate safety with Dectyl XMD test cards 

To ensure detection performance in your specific production setup, we provide Dectyl XMD Test Cards. These allow you to test and validate the minimum detectable size of Dectyl belt fragments within your own food processing line.  

What‘s the smallest belt fragment that can be detected? Minimum size depends on many factors such as type of contaminants or X-ray equipment detector, belt speed, vibrations, humidity, food product, fragment shape and position; that is why there is no industry standard, which makes Ammeraal Beltech Dectyl XMD test cards unique. 

Customized and accessorized for your needs 

The Dectyl XMD range includes two surface finishes to suit different conveying needs: 

• Matt finish: for non-stick release properties 

• Glossy finish: for high-grip applications such as inclined or precision positioning 

You can also pair your belts with dual detectable accessories, including: 

• Tracking ropes 

• Solid cleats 

• Sidewalls 

• Sealed edges 

• Mechanical fasteners 

Set higher standards in food safety 

Act proactive with Dectyl XMD! Avoid product recalls and ensure food safety.

Soft separation is one of the most demanding stages in food processing. The right belt can determine everything from product yield to food-safety performance. We’re excited to expand our portfolio with a new, highly durable Amsqueeze RS separator belt, designed for high-capacity and high-force machines. 

Why is Amsqueeze RS a crucial addition to the Amsqueeze belt series?  

Amsqueeze belts are process belts used across the meat, poultry, fish, and broader food industry to separate soft material from harder components. They help create base products for hamburgers, sausages, fish sticks, chicken burgers, and more, and are also widely used for de-packing and waste recovery. This includes:  

• Desinewing meat parts,  

• Recovering meat from bones and cartilage,  

• Producing fish mince,  

• Extracting pulp and juice from fruits and vegetables,  

• Separating usable product from packaging during de-packing. 

The Amsqueeze RS (Resilient) variant was designed especially for high-capacity and high-force separators (such as pork or turkey processing). The RS version has been developed for the high-pressure soft separating machines. To achieve this, we added a combination of different coating, reinformed fabrics, and a new Chevron profile.

The capabilities include:  

• Endless woven fabric prevents elongation, while the open structure ensures excellent adhesion and eliminates delamination.  

• Bottom Chevron helps release meat trapped between the drum and the belt, improving food safety and preventing slippage.  

• Special diamond profile (Ammeraal A93) gives you high grip on fatty products.  

• New TPU formulation increases resistance to cuts and ruptures, extending belt lifetime.

In corrugated board production, every minute counts. One hour of downtime can cost between €3,000 and €5,000 in lost output – and nowhere is this risk higher than in the bridge raiser section.  

At this process step of corrugated production, belts face extreme operating conditions: 90% humidity, 90°C temperatures, and speeds over 500 m/min. Replacing a belt is complex, time-consuming, and costly. 

Many producers rely on mechanical fasteners to reduce downtime. But fasteners come with trade-offs: they create weak points, risk damaging pulleys and boards, and shorten belt lifetime. 

We knew there had to be a better way. 

Meet ZipLink® – splice-free, fastener-free, stress-free 

Proudly developed and produced in Jona, Switzerland, our new ZipLink® ZLFA056427 – Fabric EZP 10/1 01+0 Natural is purpose-built for the bridge raiser.  

With its innovative splice-free design, installation is fast, simple, and safe. 

What makes it different? 

• Quick installation, as with all our ZipLink® belts. Join the belt within minutes using standard tools, no chemicals or electricity needed. No metal fasteners, no weak points 

• Proven durability – withstands 90°C and 90% humidity without stretching, delamination, glassing or cracking 

• Smooth cotton fabric on transport side, providing gentle transport surface 

• Black rubber on bottom side, providing positive grip on rollers 

By eliminating weak points, ensuring dimensional stability, and delivering the industry’s longest service life, ZipLink® helps you: 

• Minimize downtime and replacement costs 

• Maintain consistent performance and friction throughout the belt’s lifetime 

• Protect corrugated boards 

• Gain full control over web movement, even in the toughest environments
