Latest innovation for ceramics industry – ZipGuide conveyor belt

With over 60 years of experience in processing and conveying applications in the building materials sector, we’re introducing another innovation to help you transport ceramic tiles.

Currently, on the market you can find traditional thermoweldable belts. Unfortunately, these may come with a short belt lifetime because of splice failures and need frequent replacement.

In order to design a product that solves these challenges we’ve been working on with both original equipment manufacturers and end users. That’s how ZipGuide belts came to life. They go with easy and fast splicing method, have good grip and wear resistance. They are made to convey tiles through firing, handling and packaging production stages of your ceramic, designed to boost your ceramic manufacturing.

Effortless belt installation and splicing with ZipGuide belting solution

The most important feature of ZipGuide is the quick splicing and installation process on drive systems.

Switching to ZipGuide can potentially cut down belt replacement time and staffing needs by over 50%. How is that?

• This splicing method has no weak points, so the belt is more durable and you spend less money on new belts for replacement.
• Quick replacement means reduced downtime.
• Easy replacement means less human errors and no need for special tools.
• Splicing is stable and safe.
• The installation is so easy that you don’t need assistance from external services.

Ceramics industry challenges and Ammeraal Beltech solutions

Ceramic tiles are both heavy and fragile, which means they come with lots of challenges we’d like to address with our conveying belts.

Moving ceramic tiles on traditional belts might easily lead to belt coating degradation, ongoing repairs and costly maintenance. But worry not – ZipGuide belts are designed to safeguard your ceramic tiles at every stage of your production process.

ZipGuide belts are:

- made of high-grip natural rubber and nitrile, providing excellent grip even in wet conditions,

- high-temperature resistant so that they can o transport tiles to kilns,

- abrasion resistant – not easily worn and torn, serve you longer and cost you less,

- possible to enlogate and contract to avoid belt stretching,

- resistant to a wide range of chemicals, including acids, oils, solvents, and alkalis, which prevents belt deterioration and – as above – extends its lifetime.

There is also a broad range of customization options for ZipGuide belts. You can combine diverse top covers and guides, personalizing the belt to precisely to meet your application requirements.

Top cover materials options are as follows:
