Ammeraal Beltech is proud to present the newest addition to its modular line: DRX material, a next generation polymer engineered specifically for bottling and beverage applications. Locally produced in Reading, Pennsylvania, as part of Ammeraal Beltech’s ongoing Built American Proud commitment, DRX delivers high level dry running performance to help facilities improve efficiency, extend equipment life, and maintain a cleaner, more reliable production environment.

What is DRX
DRX, which stands for Dry Run eXtra, is a high performance PBT formulation built on a strong crystalline structure. With the support of advanced additives, it provides exceptional wear resistance and dimensional stability that outperforms traditional POM-LF materials. Its ability to run with little to no lubrication creates cleaner and safer experience for fast paced beverage production environments.

This focus on dry running aligns with a growing industry priority around water reduction. As many beverage producers look for ways to improve sustainability and control costs, water usage has become a central focus. Processing and production alone can demand significant volumes each year, from nearly 30 million gallons in soft drink bottling to more than 40 million gallons in juice and dairy beverage facilities. Even beer brewing uses well over 35 million gallons annually. By removing the need for wet or dry lubrication on conveying lines, DRX helps reduce a recurring source of water use and supports producers working to lower these large consumption levels while keeping product flow steady.Some key benefits of DRX include:

Operational Efficiency: The very low coefficient of friction reduces energy use and helps
maintain stable bottle flow, reducing production losses linked to instability.

Eco-Friendly Performance: By removing or reducing the need for wet or dry lubrication, DRX helps conserve water and reduce chemical usage while also contributing to lower overall energy consumption.

Extended Lifespan: With twice the durability of POM-LF, DRX offers longer service life and reduces the frequency of chain replacements.

Enhanced Safety: A dry running environment lowers slip risks for employees, creating a more comfortable and productive workspace. DRX also reduces noise levels up to 15% and requires less maintenance, helping reduce downtime and keeping operations running smoothly.

Locally Produced for Reliable Supply
Manufacturing DRX in Reading, Pennsylvania ensures prompt availability, shorter lead times, and support from local experts. This reinforces Ammeraal Beltech’s dedication to staying close to customers and strengthening supply chains across the country.

Letter by Tom Doring, President of Americas at AMMEGA

In the last 75 years, the world has seen profound changes across the technological, geopolitical, and economic landscapes. While today’s manufacturers have seen major advancements, they’ve also endured significant challenges and periods of uncertainty. For a company to thrive over such a long period of time is a testament to the way it does business. For that reason, we are incredibly proud to recognize Ammeraal Beltech’s 75-year anniversary.

Beyond the celebration, this milestone presents an opportunity to reflect on our success and the lessons learned along the way as we look ahead to the next 75 years – and a new mission to become the market leader for belting and conveying solutions across the Americas.

Tailor products to applications.

Our company started in 1950 with one extraordinary new baking belt. Developed by Thomas Ammeraal, it was capable of high performance in extreme conditions. Not only is this belt still in use today, but so is his legacy of innovation. Over the years, we have been committed to continuous investment to widen our product portfolio and offer solutions for a wide range of applications from food & beverage, to logistics, automotive, packaging, airport and more. Our vast product portfolio is focused on providing tailored, durable solutions while helping our customers achieve their own goals when it comes to efficiency, productivity, and sustainability. However, it was a close collaboration with—and deep understanding of—our customers that helped to get us here.

Put people first.

We couldn’t reach this milestone without our people, and a company culture that puts people first. We have strived to continuously express our gratitude to our people through safety and career development programs. Because when our people shine, so do we.

Our technicians play a very hands-on role in the fabrication of our belting solutions. That kind of work can present safety hazards, so safety was our #1 priority, as well as protecting the wider wellbeing of our employees. Apart from that, we have hosted several programs over the years to foster employee career development: providing new opportunities, facilitating succession planning, and facilitating job rotation and cross-level training to enhance job satisfaction.

Develop strong distributor partnerships.

For a company to evolve over time, change is needed: we’re proud of how our go-to-market strategy has developed, and how it’s helped us to be a local partner of choice, globally. In the last 15-20 years, we developed terrific partnerships with independent distributors in the U.S. which have helped us reach our customers with the right products and services, at the right price point. As a company headquartered in the Netherlands, we wanted to participate in the American market as locals – with local manufacturing, expertise, and capabilities.

To achieve that goal, we proudly host our bi-annual Belting Technology Conference (BTC) where we offer in-person networking opportunities with our customers, and hold breakout sessions on current and upcoming technology, industry trends, and industry challenges. This two-way channel of communication has been our unique contribution to our customers which has undoubtedly helped us develop innovative solutions for their needs. As part of BTC we also proudly invite customers to tour our manufacturing and service facilities, as part of our Built American Proud initiative.

Think local even when you’re global.

“Built American Proud” is more than a slogan. It represents our commitment to growing in the Americas to help our American customers grow. We’ve now invested well over $100 million dollars to expand production, warehousing, and service capabilities to help U.S. customers improve supply chain consistency, business agility, and sustainability. By supporting reliable lead times and optimizing inventory, we support operational efficiency and cost savings. By localizing more expertise and resources, we develop cutting-edge belting to overcome the “who’d have thought?” challenges.  Through our unwavering commitment to eco-friendly practices and innovation in recyclable materials, we help our customers reach their sustainability goals.

With employees providing local expertise and knowledge across manufacturing facilities, fabrication sites, warehouses, and customer solutions centers, we invested in expanding our capabilities and being the preferred partner for American manufacturers years before today’s tariff uncertainty.

Treat milestones as new beginnings.

As I wrap up this reflection, I would like to thank everyone who was and is a part of our journey. For the last 75 years, we have innovated while staying true to our compass, allowing us to do business right. As a leading brand of the AMMEGA Group, Ammeraal Beltech will continue growing and innovating, backed by the growing AMMEGA network. Our sales team is trained to understand your belting needs holistically, not necessarily focusing on Ammeraal Beltech, but being able to advise you across AMMEGA’s solutions portfolio, allowing us to be your true local partner.

Our long-term strategy is a journey we are dedicated to. Cheers to the next 75 years!

uni SNB M2 20% open nub top is a new modular belt designed to minimize sticking and adherence of wet products, raising hygiene standards in fruit, vegetable, and seafood processing industries.

Are you wondering what makes this belt stand out? Keep reading to discover its key features, applications, and specifications!

Superior drainage and non-stick properties for optimal performance

This innovative belt sets a new industry benchmark by offering a unique combination of superior drainage and non-stick properties, ensuring optimal performance in demanding food processing environments.

Drainage capabilities – belts with perforations (also known as open belts) are required to allow air flow. However, at the same time, it is important to prevent the product from falling through the openings in the belt. That’s why uni SNB was engineered with open design, allowing better drainage but also supporting product.

Non-stick properties – in flighted belts, products often stick to the flights or belt surface and sometimes carry over into the return section of the conveyor. This leads to product loss when items fall to the floor, increased cleaning requirements, and higher cost of ownership. uni SNB nub top design features nubs that reduce adhesion of wet products to the belt surface, significantly minimizing these issues and improving overall efficiency.

Versatile applications: uni SNB nub top belt for vegetables, shrimp processing, and harsh environments

uni SNB nub top can be used in applications such as washing, de-watering, cooling, and mixing processes for vegetables, leafy greens, and other light or sticky products. It can also be used in shrimp glazing process, where it enhances hygiene and operational efficiency.

In shrimp processing, this belt can transport the product out of the water tanks on a slope without supports, so that it does not interfere with the inspection process.

Apart from non-stick features, uni SNB nub top offers enhanced durability against low temperatures, chemical exposure, and impacts, making it ideal for rigorous processing environments.

It offers dynamic open hinges and is compatible with our UltraClean hygienic sprockets. It can be ordered with side guards and/or flights and is available in both PE (Polyethylene), PP (Polypropylene) and POM materials (Polyoxymethylene), in blue or white, to meet various operational needs.

uni SNB M2 20% open nub top – the latest in hygienic modular belts for food processing

The uni SNB M2 20% open nub top is the latest addition to the Ammeraal Beltech modular belt range and a key part of the best-selling uni SNB series. It complements our existing solutions, including uni MPB 20% open nub top for the fruit and vegetable industry and the uni MPB 25% open cone top designed for seafood processing.
