Ammeraal Beltech Announces the US Launch of ZipLock®: The Simple Belt Swap for Seamless Belt Replacement

In the world of conveyor systems, efficiency is vital. Every minute of downtime can translate into significant losses for businesses relying on smooth operation. Introducing ZipLock®, the latest innovation from leading conveyor belting manufacturer Ammeraal Beltech. Now available in the US, ZipLock® revolutionizes the way belts are swapped, slashing maintenance costs and downtime while ensuring smooth, silent operation. 

 “ZipLock® is the answer to the industry's pressing need for swift and hassle-free belt replacements,” says Jeff Cabalquinto. “With the ZipLock® method, belt swapping is no longer a laborious task but a quick, do-it-yourself splice that takes just minutes to complete.” 

Key to ZipLock's® effectiveness is its unique design, which facilitates easy and fast belt exchange without compromising performance. Unlike conventional methods that rely on metal or plastic mechanical belt fasteners, ZipLock® boasts a nearly invisible connection that guarantees a smooth and quiet belt run. This feature makes it particularly well-suited for applications in environments where minimizing the time required to replace belts is crucial – such as airports and distribution centers – or where belt location is inaccessible for maintenance. 

Jeff adds, “The ZipLock® method involves the use of special belt inserts that are spliced together with a strong finger splice. At the site, the ZipLock® ends are seamlessly connected by inserting a plastic pin, resulting in a continuous belt cover over the splice area. Not only does this ensure operational safety and reliability, but it also eliminates the need for heavy equipment, making on-site installation a breeze.” 

One of the most compelling advantages of ZipLock® is its cost-effectiveness. By significantly reducing maintenance time and costs associated with downtime, ZipLock® offers businesses substantial savings compared to traditional splicing methods. According to Ammeraal Beltech's calculations, ZipLock ®results in an average cost savings of 30% when compared to traditional splicing, not including additional savings from shorter downtimes. 

"With ZipLock®, we're empowering businesses to optimize their conveyor systems like never before," says Jeff. "By streamlining the belt replacement process and minimizing downtime, ZipLock® enables our customers to maximize productivity and profitability."
