Secondary Manufacturing Processes for cigarette production require special belting properties. All applications with direct tobacco contact must have non-toxic solutions, while the transfer of cigarettes into packaging machines and of cigarette packets from bundlers / cartoners into case packers and palletizers require belts with low or high-grip properties.
Our product range covers all these applications.

Secondary Manufacturing Processes for cigarette production require special belting properties. All applications with direct tobacco contact must have non-toxic solutions, while the transfer of cigarettes into packaging machines and of cigarette packets from bundlers / cartoners into case packers and palletizers require belts with low or high-grip properties.
Our product range covers all these applications.
The cut tobacco is transported to the cigarette maker by air (tubes) and then circulated in the feeder unit. Once at the maker, the suction tape collects and conveys the tobacco to create a tobacco rod. The finished cigarettes are transported on belts out of the maker.
Main challenges
- Loss of tobacco dust
- Damage to the product, i.e. the finished cigarette
Solutions
- Tobacco dust decreases by 30%
- Our profiles deliver good grip without damaging the cigarettes
The belts that link the cigarette maker and the buffer can run both horizontally and vertically. Either way, the profile must not damage the cigarettes.
Main challenges
- Enough friction to transport the cigarette without damaging it
Solutions
- Our Amtel P7 Belts will reduce cigarette damage and waste
- Special chains are used in the buffer stations
The enclosing of products with wrapping materials in order to protect, collect and conserve tobacco goods and present a convenient and attractive product.
Main challenges
- Exact positioning under high speed
- Fully automated system needs maintenance-free conveyor solutions
Solutions
- Ammeraal Beltech Timing Belt Competence Center to give full technical support for this application
- Tobacco proof solutions where it is still necessary
Boxes filled with multiple packages of cigarettes are often transported to a central palletising area. During the transport, it passes different sorting steps to end at the correct place.
Main challenges
- Difficult belt maintenance (belt replacement)
- Reduce downtime of conveyors
Solutions
- Ammeraal Beltech quick installation solutions (ZipLock, Maestro splice press, etc.)
- Our unique ZipLink® range for easy installation and less downtime
