Ammeraal Beltech reaches a record lifetime for plastic modular belts

Ammeraal Beltech reaches a record lifetime for plastic modular belts                                                            

When uni CSB plastic modular belt was introduced at a Breeze Thru Car Wash in 2012, the original design target was set as one million washed vehicles per belt.

Today, we're proud to report that milestone has been surpassed – by a wide margin.

52% more than the one-million design target

That record was set at a Breeze Thru Car Wash location in Colorado. With over 1.52 million vehicles processed on a single belt using a single set of drive sprockets, the uni CSB still has service life remaining.

The uni CSB belt has proven to be very resilient – all the more impressive given the intensity of Breeze Thru's operation: 16 locations, ISO 9001:2015-certified maintenance, and more than 2,800 maintenance tasks carried out every day.

Unique properties of uni CSB

uni CSB was built for demanding, high-load environments  – so its longevity is no accident. Several design decisions work together to extend belt life and reduce total cost of ownership.

The uni CSB is a plastic modular conveyor belt specifically engineered for the demanding conditions of the carwash applications.

At its core is Dual Compound Technology (DCT): a unique approach that combines two different materials within one belt link. This allows electrically conductive and flame-retardant properties to be added to the belt through cost-efficient inserts without compromising belt pull as usual.

Long belt life is further supported by a high contact area, an innovative belt bottom design, and wear-resistant wheel plate inserts for less bottom wear at high surface pressure.

Together, these features minimise mechanical complexity and make routine maintenance faster and more predictable.
