High-speed conveyors

Overview

High-speed conveyors

Conveyor belting benchmark

Fabric-based synthetic belts or modular plastic belts.

Problem description

Friction-driven belts in high-speed systems suffer from elongation, especially under start/stop cycles and heat buildup from friction. They require frequent retensioning and are often tracked using ropes, which can wear out or detach. At speeds above 2 m/s, even slight misalignment can lead to belt damage. While modular belts don’t elongate, they become excessively noisy at high speeds.

AMMdrive solution

AMMdrive belts provide precise, stable tracking at high speeds without elongation or slip, thanks to the positive drive and self-tracking PRO lugs. There’s no need for retensioning, and the system runs quietly and reliably, even under demanding start/stop, multi-cycle operations – making it ideal for fast-paced, synchronized processes.
