Hygiene and Performance Redefined: Introducing Soliflex Conveyor Belts at MIR

In today’s food industry, facilities are under constant pressure to maximize throughput and minimize downtime while maintaining food safety standards. Conveyor belts play a critical role in this balance, yet traditional belts often create challenges that slow production and increase risks.

Ammeraal Beltech developed the Soliflex line of conveyor belts to solve these challenges. Manufactured as fully extruded polyurethane, Soliflex belts are engineered for ultimate hygiene, easy cleaning, and long lasting performance. Now available through MIR, Soliflex represents a smarter way to keep your line moving safely and reliably.

Key Benefits of Soliflex

Soliflex delivers a powerful combination of performance and hygiene features that set it apart for today’s most demanding food applications.

  • One piece hygienic design
    No fraying, no loose fibers, no hidden crevices. Just a solid, food safe construction that reduces contamination risks.
  • Easy and fast cleaning
    This design ensures fast, easy sanitation. The seamless surface cuts water and detergent use, while in-place and in-motion cleaning capabilities minimize downtime and conserve resources.
  • Reliable tracking and smooth operation
    Positive drive technology, such as Soliflex PRO lugs, keeps belts aligned, minimizes realignment needs, and prevents costly stoppages.
  • Durable and long lasting
    Engineered to withstand demanding production environments, Soliflex belts reduce unplanned downtime and extend service life.
  • Versatile range
    With multiple configurations including PRO, PRO Mini, Center Bar, Full Bar, and Full Bar Mini, there is a solution for nearly every food processing application.
  • Food industry compliant
    Meets international food grade standards (FDA and EC 1935/2004) and supports ISO 22000 requirements for ultimate food safety.

The Soliflex Range

To fit a wide variety of applications, Soliflex is available in multiple configurations:

  • Soliflex PRO – The most hygienic and advanced tracking design, with unique lug technology that engages directly with pulley teeth.
  • Soliflex PRO Mini – Designed for small pulley diameters, perfect for tight transfer points and space limited conveyors.
  • Soliflex Center Bar (CB) – Features smooth, wide lugs that deliver excellent tracking and are easy to clean, even in hard to reach corners.
  • Soliflex Full Bar (FB) – A full width drive lug design that provides reliable performance and a hygienic alternative to plastic modular belts.
  • Soliflex Full Bar Mini (FB Mini) – A compact version designed for small pulleys, ideal for transition conveyors.

Common Belt Issues and How ZipLink® Solves Them

Problem 1: Frequent Belt Failures

Abrasive sanding in wood processing and high heat drying in gypsum cause traditional belts to wear out quickly or fail.

Solution:

ZipLink® belts use reinforced rubber compounds like XNBR, NBR, and silicone to create a continuous, splice-less design with an integrated spiral connection that delivers consistent strength and durability, even in the toughest conditions. Read the full case study here.

Problem 2: Inconsistent Belt Tracking and Misalignment

Misaligned belts cause jams, damage products, and increase uneven wear.

Solution:

ZipLink’s® stable construction ensures uniform tension and consistent tracking, minimizing realignment needs and maintaining smooth, uninterrupted conveyor flow. Read the full case study here.

Key Benefits of ZipLink®

  • Install with No Special Tools: You do not need specialized equipment, presses, or outside help. Maintenance teams can handle installation themselves, which means less waiting and faster turnaround.
  • Reduce downtime and maintenance costs Installation is simple and fast, your team spends less time on repairs and your equipment runs longer with fewer interruptions.
  • Increases production time and throughput Every minute saved during installation or adjustment is more time your line is producing.
  • Eliminates weak joints With no weak splice area, Ziplink’s seamless construction prevents sudden belt failures.
  • Resists wear for longer service life The rubber compounds and stable construction hold up under tough environments like heat, abrasion, and constant use, which means fewer replacements over time.
