The AMMdurance rPET combines the energy-saving design with recycling technology. We’ve developed a special technique of dry fabric treatment, which we apply to the underside of the EX low-noise fabric to reduce the friction between the belt and the underlying machinery. Lower friction enables reduced power consumption and thus superior energy efficiency. The technique additionally protects the fabric against dirt and shrinkage, facilitating its longevity and wear resistance. The fabric used in the AMMdurance rPET is obtained from recycled PET bottles.  

rPET stands for recycled polyethylene terephthalate. It is a type of plastic that is made by recycling old plastic bottles and containers, helping to reduce the amount of waste that goes to landfills and save energy and resources that would be used in the production of new plastic. 

The AMMdurance rPET can benefit a wide range of industries, however, it was specifically designed to relieve the pressure to reduce costs, energy consumption, and emissions within the airport and logistics industries. The conveyor system at a distribution centre can account for as much as 50% of its electrical load while transport belts at a baggage handling facility may constitute even 85% of the system’s energy consumption. The AMMdurance rPET helps to optimise this proportion bringing in energy efficiency and minimised running costs.
