Ultrascreen PRO (positive drive)
Ultrascreen PRO belts are available with a variety of tooth and sprocket styles to suit positive‑drive applications or retrofits. The positive drive design delivers improved tracking and operational benefits:

• Mesh opening options (1000, 2000, 3000 μm depending on variant)
• Superior tracking performance
• Lower assembly tension and reduced belt elongation
• Reduced energy consumption and maintenance costs
• Plug & Play installation with no run‑in time
• Easy to clean and disinfect; supports ISO 22000
• Reduced product contamination risk

Ultrascreen XMD (metal‑detectable edges)
Ultrascreen XMD edges are X‑ray and metal‑detectable to minimise the risk of foreign‑body contamination in food lines. Edges or cleats that contaminate product can be picked up by metal detectors.
