IN Brief:
- The new RAPPLON range is aimed at receiving, order picking, sortation, and storage systems.
- The belts are designed for warehouse robots, AGV load carriers, and high-duty conveyor applications.
- Ammeraal is positioning low energy use and long service life as core operating benefits.
Ammeraal Beltech has launched a new RAPPLON elastic flat belt range for logistics applications, extending its offer for conveyor, sortation, storage, and warehouse-automation systems.
The range has been developed for equipment used across receiving, order picking, intralogistics transfer, and storage operations, with the company also targeting warehouse robots and AGV load carriers. Ammeraal says the belts combine a high-friction cover, dimensional stability, and a low-maintenance construction intended to support continuous use in fast-moving distribution environments.
A heavy-duty version has also been introduced for more demanding conveying tasks. The belts use an aramid tensile member to deliver flexibility and strength while helping to hold tracking accuracy over time, which is increasingly important in compact automated layouts where small deviations can affect throughput and maintenance intervals.
The launch reflects the continuing shift toward component-level efficiency in warehouse automation, where operators are looking beyond major capital equipment and focusing more closely on the performance of belts, rollers, drives, sensors, and controls. In that environment, lower energy consumption and longer operating life have become part of the engineering brief rather than an afterthought.
