Meet uni ACB Hybrid – the next evolution of our proven uni ACB belt – now fitted with stainless steel reinforcement links and pins, created for high performance on a variety of different conveyor applications. 

What is hybrid technology? 

Hybrid technology combines the best of two worlds: the flexibility and lightweight advantages of plastic modular belts with the stiffness, strength, and thermal stability of embedded steel reinforcements. The result is unmatched performance on long conveyors where elongation control and pulsation management are non-negotiable. 

The story behind uni ACB Hybrid creation 

The uni ACB Hybrid is the next evolution of Ammeraal Beltech’s proven uni ACB series (Advanced Concept Belt). This new belt unites the flexibility of the unique uni modular belt design with the exceptional strength and stability of embedded steel reinforcements. 

What are the benefits? 

The ultimate benefit is being able to design conveyor system for people movers or heavy loads that are longer and/or limited in construction height and avoid risk of pulsation or having a limited capacity to handle belt elongation. 

Steel provides greater stiffness and thermal stability – resulting in better control of pulsation and less belt elongation. 

Other than already seen in the industry, our stainless steel reinforcements don’t extend to bottom, so the belt can run on SS slider bed without metal-to-metal contact. Wear resistant inserts, also used to keep the reinforcements firmly fixed, maximize the belts lifetime. The use of our well known EC insert technology to create a controlled ESD performance as required by the automotive industry adds to the safety of people and electronics. 

The rough top surface with low height pyramid design is safe to walk and work on, easy to clean, and friendly to kitting trolleys with small wheels. (Please note there is also the option of our closed smooth surface when a higher friction surface can’t be used.)  

The uni ACB Hybrid is the new smart Hybrid belt that is also backed by dedicated application support for OEMs and End Users. Designed specifically for long centre-to-centre distance conveyors, uni ACB Hybrid is backed by dedicated application support for OEMs and End Users. 

Preguntas frecuentes 

How does uni ACB Hybrid differ from the standard uni ACB?

Our new smart belt monitoring solution – 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.
