New modular belt for the automotive industry – uni ACB Hybrid

Meet uni ACB Hybrid – the next evolution of our proven uni ACB belt – now fitted with stainless steel reinforcement links and pins, created for high performance on a variety of different conveyor applications. 

What is hybrid technology? 

Hybrid technology combines the best of two worlds: the flexibility and lightweight advantages of plastic modular belts with the stiffness, strength, and thermal stability of embedded steel reinforcements. The result is unmatched performance on long conveyors where elongation control and pulsation management are non-negotiable. 

The story behind uni ACB Hybrid creation 

The uni ACB Hybrid is the next evolution of Ammeraal Beltech's proven uni ACB series (Advanced Concept Belt). This new belt unites the flexibility of the unique uni modular belt design with the exceptional strength and stability of embedded steel reinforcements. 

What are the benefits? 

The ultimate benefit is being able to design conveyor system for people movers or heavy loads that are longer and/or limited in construction height and avoid risk of pulsation or having a limited capacity to handle belt elongation. 

Steel provides greater stiffness and thermal stability – resulting in better control of pulsation and less belt elongation. 

Other than already seen in the industry, our stainless steel reinforcements don’t extend to bottom, so the belt can run on SS slider bed without metal-to-metal contact. Wear resistant inserts, also used to keep the reinforcements firmly fixed, maximize the belts lifetime. The use of our well known EC insert technology to create a controlled ESD performance as required by the automotive industry adds to the safety of people and electronics. 

The rough top surface with low height pyramid design is safe to walk and work on, easy to clean, and friendly to kitting trolleys with small wheels. (Please note there is also the option of our closed smooth surface when a higher friction surface can't be used.)  

The uni ACB Hybrid is the new smart Hybrid belt that is also backed by dedicated application support for OEMs and End Users. Designed specifically for long centre-to-centre distance conveyors, uni ACB Hybrid is backed by dedicated application support for OEMs and End Users. 

FAQ 

How does uni ACB Hybrid differ from the standard uni ACB? 

• Belt geometry, insert technology and hinge driven sprockets are the same, but at higher strength and stiffness the belt is better suited for specific conveyor applications. 

What is the permissible tensile strength of the uni ACB Hybrid? 

• This belt is rated at 100.00N/m. 

What are the available materials for this belt? 

• The belt is available in both regular POM-NL and special flame-retardant PP-FR material.
