Soft separation, achieved by forcing softer matter through perforations in a drum to detach it from harder material such as bone or sinew, is one of the most demanding stages in food processing.
How companies handle this stage of production affects everything from food safety to product yield. Ammeraal Beltech has developed the ideal belt series to meet this challenge: the AmSqueeze series, food grade-certified belts available in a range of thicknesses and with features that include easy-to-clean surfaces and wear-resistant cover materials. Today, these belts are in operation across the meat, poultry and fish industries, and they’re also vital to de-packing and waste recovery processes.
What’s more, the series has now been expanded to include the new, highly durable AmSqueeze RS (Resilient) Separator Belt, designed for high-capacity and high-force machines used in more demanding applications such as turkey meat or pork processing. These innovative wear-resistant belts boast endless woven reinforced fabric, closed edges, a new topside rhomboid profile for optimum grip, and a bottom profile that helps release meat trapped between the drum and the belt, improving hygiene and preventing slippage.
Whether it’s the new AmSqueeze RS or the other time-tested belts in the AmSqueeze range, Ammeraal Beltech has the right belt for a wide variety of food separation applications. Engineered for a longer operating life thanks in part to excellent resistance to oil and grease and to easy cleanability and designed for uninterrupted reliable performance due to excellent elongation resistance, the Ammeraal Beltech’s AmSqueeze range doesn’t just perform a great job separating on the line, it also does a great job separating itself from the competition.
