Ammeraal Beltech Permaline U2 positioning belt

In semi-automatic food processing lines, belts are often marked to indicate the correct positioning of products for further processing. These markings are usually printed on top of the belt with ink and are subject to the influences of food, scrapers and cleaning agents.

Ammeraal Beltech’s Permaline U2 positioning belt has full EU and FDA food contact approvals. The pre-printed positioning template on the belt’s surface is produced to each customer’s specification.

The custom-printed belt layout is highly visible and indelible, even in the splice area. It is top coated with a transparent, wear-resistant, food-grade layer that protects the food from the print. According to the company, the protected print will not wear off even when flexing over small pulley diameters and fixed knife edges.

Any design can be printed on the belt, including full-colour photographs. The belt can be supplied endless or prepared for on-site splicing, without the need to later manually add drawings over splice areas.

The protection layer can be scraped and cleaned without damaging the print. In addition, the matte finish allows for less flour use, the company claims.

The belt has antistatic properties, a low noise level and its matte finish prevents overhead light reflection. Multi-colour or full-colour shapes, graphics or images are supported.
