In airport and baggage handling environments, energy consumption is a serious operational challenge. Conveyor and baggage handling belts can account for up to 85% of a facility’s total energy use — making belt efficiency one of the most impactful levers available to airport operators. AMMdurance rPET from Ammeraal Beltech is engineered precisely for this problem.
Engineering that reduces energy consumption
At the core of AMMdurance rPET is a proprietary dry fabric treatment applied to the belt’s underside, significantly reducing friction between the belt and the machinery beneath it. Less friction means less resistance, and less resistance means lower power draw — consistently, across the belt’s entire working life. The treatment also protects the fabric against dirt and shrinkage, extending service life and reducing replacement frequency.
The low-noise fabric construction adds another operational benefit: quieter running conditions for staff working in and around baggage handling areas.
Recycled fabric, uncompromised performance
The belt fabric is produced from recycled PET bottles — a practical application of recycling technology that delivers the same structural integrity and wear resistance as conventional synthetic materials, with no trade-off in durability or load-bearing capability.
Proven in one of the world’s busiest airports
AMMdurance rPET has been rigorously tested at Heathrow Airport in partnership with Vanderlande, validating its performance and reliability in a high-demand, real-world baggage handling environment.
The result
Lower energy bills, longer belt life, and dependable performance — AMMdurance rPET makes a measurable difference where it matters most.
