Overview

Modern agriculture depends on efficient, reliable conveying systems to move crops seamlessly from harvesting to processing. Ammeraal Beltech delivers advanced belting solutions designed to ensure gentle handling, continuous flow and maximum productivity across all stages of crop handling.

From field collection to post-harvest processing, conveying systems play a critical role in maintaining crop quality while reducing manual handling and operational downtime. High-performance belts enable controlled transport, precise positioning and consistent throughput, even in demanding work environments featuring complicating factors such as dust, moisture and variable loads.

Ammeraal Beltech’s solutions combine global expertise with application-specific engineering to support agricultural operations in achieving higher yields, improved efficiency and reduced waste. Their conveying technologies are tailored to integrate with harvesting machinery, processing equipment and storage systems, ensuring a smooth and reliable end-to-end workflow.

Crops Handling

Crop handling covers the safe and efficient movement of agricultural products after harvest, including conveying, sorting, washing, grading and packing. Reliable conveying solutions are essential to maintaining product quality and ensuring the smoothest and most efficient route from field to market for agricultural goods.

Conveyor belts play a key role in crop handling by:

Enabling the gentle and hygienic transport of fruits, vegetables and bulk crops
Minimising bruising and product loss
Preserving product integrity throughout processing
Supporting high-capacity, continuous operations

These solutions are widely used in packing houses, processing lines and agricultural facilities.

Best Belting Solutions for Harvesting Equipment
Engineered for demanding field conditions, harvesting belts ensure reliable, gentle and efficient crop collection. They enable the smooth transfer of agricultural goods from picking systems to cleaning or storage stages, all while preserving product quality and maximising operational productivity

Key Types of Belts Used in Harvesting Machinery

Rubber belts: durable, abrasion-resistant for bulk handling
Cleated & chevron belts: stable transport on inclines
PU/PVC belts: Food-safe, and gentle for delicate crops
Modular belts: robust, easy to repair and debris-resistan

What harvesting belts should provide

Safe transport from field to processing
No loss of performance in the presence of dirt, moisture or UV rays
Reliability even under heavy loads or continuous use
Gentle handling, to reduce crop damage
Minimised downtime during peak harvest

Performance & Applications

Resistance against abrasion, weather and chemicals
Strong and durable, but with gentle crop handling properties
Easy maintenance and customisable design

Used in:
Potato, grape, tomato, olive, leafy crop and grain harvesters

Engineered for Harvest Operations

From manual harvesting support to fully mechanised systems, our belts are designed to perform in:

Mobile harvesting machines and carts
Field conveyors and transfer units
Bin-loading and crate-loading systems
Trailer and storage transfer conveyors

Whether crops are picked by hand or by machine, Ammeraal Beltech belts enable a continuous flow from harvest point to collection unit, reducing bottlenecks and ensuring reliable, gentle and highly efficient crop collection in the field.

Optimized for Bulk Crop Handling

Harvest environments often involve high volumes and variable loads. Our conveying solutions ensure:

Smooth transfer of crops and gentle handling of fragile produce
Stable movement across inclined or uneven terrain
Controlled flow to prevent pile-ups or overflow
Reliable grip properties for dirty or damp produce

This makes them ideal for crops such as:

Root vegetables (e.g. potatoes, carrots, onions)
Green beans and peas
Leafy greens
Grapes
Cereals
Fruits and other delicate produce

Built for Rugged Field Conditions

Harvesting equipment operates in some of the harshest conditions. Our belts are built to withstand:

Dirt, dust and debris
Moisture, mud and wash-downs
Abrasion from soil and crop residue
Continuous outdoor use and temperature variations

The result is consistent performance and reduced downtime during critical harvest windows.
