The technology

Meet AnnStuMax.

A revolutionary belt splice technology that dramatically reduces the economic and resource implications of conveyor belt use, keeping belts longer in use, repaired and reused rather than replaced.

Our consultancy advises clients on reducing conveyor belt usage: prolonging belt life for major cost savings, using less energy, and reducing water consumption during cleaning.

More on AnnStuMax
Cradle to grave
Less of everything

Keeping belts longer in use minimises material use and waste, supports full traceability, and cuts the greenhouse gases tied to belt production at every stage.

The model

Reduce. Repair. Reuse.

Producing belts consumes vast natural resources and emits significant greenhouse gases throughout their lifecycle. Keeping belts longer in use, repairing and reusing them is the most effective solution available today, conserving resources and cutting the emissions tied to virgin material production.

01 — Outcome
Reduce

Repairing and reusing belts has a direct knock-on effect: less new material, less energy and fewer emissions overall.

02 — Action
Repair

AnnStuMax splice technology restores and extends belts in service, avoiding premature replacement.

03 — Action
Reuse

Belts kept longer in use practise full traceability and feed into new re-manufacturing services rather than landfill.
