Ammeraal Beltech uni Ultra Clean Belt

The uni Ultra Clean Belt (UCB) from Ammeraal Beltech is a cleanable plastic modular belt, suitable for food and food packaging applications. Due to its health and safety features, the modular belt is suitable for moving foods of all kinds, from meat and fish to bakery items. The modular belt is partnered with the uni UltraClean Two-Part Sprocket. The design of the UCB belt features hybrid hinges, which enable water flow for cleaning around the hinges and pins when opened on the back of the belt and, when closed, prevent food loss into the hinges around the sprockets.

The lightweight UCB is claimed to be able to match the performance of heavier belts, and is easy to operate, maintain and clean. The modular belt is also claimed to have a lower CO₂ footprint, lower water and cleaning chemicals consumption, and a reduced manpower requirement for maintenance. The light weight of the belting enables OEMs to engineer lighter conveyor frames and use a lighter drive system. The UCB can transport over one tonne per metre width, without compromising its energy requirement.
