Whether your application is in food processing or in an industrial, transportation or technology sector, Ashworth has a conveyor belting system to improve your yield-and help your business thrive. Pioneering the Industry Ashworth has been a major innovator in conveyor belting and conveyor systems for decades. Examples include: Hybrid Belting: Ashworth pioneered hybrid conveyor belting, introducing belts that combine a backbone of steel for high strength with a plastic product surface for its functional advantages. Most recently, Ashworth introduced The Advantage™ line of hybrid belting, that provides end-users with an extremely hygienic, easy to clean, open conveying surface combined with a no-weld, patented rod-locking system that makes repairs a snap. In its first year in the market, The Advantage™ has proven itself as the market leader in spiral freezing, cooling and proofing. True-Tracking Friction Driven Belts: Ashworth developed the true-tracking CB5 Baking Band® that became, and still is, a standard in the baking industry, as well as Cleatrac®, a positive-drive woven-wire belting system that eliminated the need for pin rolls. 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.
