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.
A two-row lug setup and the most widely used configuration. It offers balanced tracking and drive performance across most medium-duty applications and is suitable for a broad range of industries.
A single-row lug configuration ideal for compact, lightweight conveyors. It provides simple and reliable tracking where space is limited and loads are light.
A great step forward in Food Safety on risks of foreign bodies. We support the Food Industry in protecting consumers from the risk of pollution from broken plastic belt parts. DectylXMD belts are like an insurance, protecting your brand reputation, preventing expensive product recalls.

Particularly when conveying small goods, the transfer between 2 belts must be as short as possible. In this case it is common to use knife-edges. Knife-edges are used in material handling, primarily on conveyor belts for the Food Industry and for the Beverage Industry. More tension is needed to flex the belt over a knife-edge which causes more wear. This calls for premium quality belts.

Our non-fray belts run and remain intact longer and deliver even better food hygiene by reducing fabric fray contamination.
Our KleenEdge and AmSeal Belts tackle contamination risks that may occur from belt edge wear. The belt construction is designed in such a way that the high strength reinforcement fabric is held securely together in a tough non-cracking thermoplastic polyurethane seal.

At Biscuit People Conference 2026 in Bali, our bakery industry specialist Mr. Giuseppe Allais revealed how choosing the right rotary moulder belt within the truly endless woven AmDough belt range improves biscuit quality, reduces downtime, and extends equipment life.
Why rotary moulding demand more from a belt?
Rotary moulding is one of the most critical processes in biscuit manufacturing. Dough is pressed into a rotating drum to form shapes, and the belt must absorb just enough moisture and fat to create the suction that holds moulded dough against the belt, then release that same fragile piece cleanly at the knife edge through a sharp bend and stretch combination.
Ammeraal Beltech’s answer to this challenge is the AmDough range — a line of truly endless woven belts with no splice, engineered specifically for rotary moulders.
Expert insights – how to improve the biscuit quality by choosing the right equipment
At BPC26 in Bali, Giuseppe Allais, Global Industry Manager in Bakery & Confectionery at Ammeraal Beltech, and a member of European Hygienic Engineering & Design Group (EHEDG) shared the following practical tips based on his work with biscuit producers around the world.
Use truly endless woven belts – they eliminate splice failures and downtime, while also ensuring consistent extraction capacity.
First evaluate all the biscuits you manufacture and then choose the belt type – so that it works for every process step in your facility.
First look carefully at the final backside finish you need (smooth or rough), and then select the belt weaving profile.
During conditioning, input minimum moisturizing and do not use water or steam – this extends belt lifetime.
Try switching to a belt with a lower extraction rating – due to less quantity of natural yarns than the belts provide extended lifetime.
A legacy of hygienic belt innovation for the biscuit industry
Ammeraal Beltech has led the rotary moulder belt category since Thomas Ammeraal invented the endless woven conveyor belt for the biscuit industry in 1950. The 1970s saw the introduction of the light-blue coloured belts — designed specifically to make food contamination visible during inspection. In 1995, the AmSeal range brought sealed-edge coated fabric belts to prevent edge contamination. In 2022, we introduce the Dectyl synthetic belt, dual detectable by metal and X-ray and detectors. Each development was driven by the food safety and hygienic design logic.

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)
