Pioneering the Industry Ashworth has been a major innovator in conveyor belting and conveyor systems for decades.

Lotension Spiral System and Spiral Belts: Ashworth invented the Lotension Spiral Conveyor System and the related turn curve conveyor belts that became a worldwide standard in food processing equipment. PosiDrive Spiral®: Ashworth recently introduced the PosiDrive Spiral® System. The unique cage design maintains product orientation, lowers belt tension and increases production capacity.
