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 AdvantageTM 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 for cooking, freezing, proofing and cooling applications. A Step Ahead At Ashworth, this innovative spirit enables us to stay a step ahead of our competitors by providing the widest range of conveyor belting products all-metal, all-plastic or a hybrid of the two. Whatever works best for you, we have it! Tracing our roots to the 1800s, Ashworth has been a major supplier of conveyor belts to the food processing and other industries since 1946, when Ashworth Bros., Inc. formed the Metal Products Division and began production of woven metal conveyor belts in Worcester, Massachusetts. In 1967, Ashworth revolutionized the food processing industry with the development of its patented lotension spiral system. Today, Ashworth maintains manufacturing facilities in Winchester, Virginia, USA and Enschede, The Netherlands, along with a worldwide network of sales offices, distributors and agents. As the lotension experts, Ashworth offers the most comprehensive range of spiral and turn-curve belting available on the market, including the all-metal, industry-standard, Omni-Grid® newly-patented, super-strong Omni-ProTM and our revolutionary new family of plastic and steel hybrid belts, the AdvantageTM. We also know a thing or two about straight-running belts, introducing our industry-standard CB5 Baking Band® in 1967 and Cleatrac®, a positively driven transfer belt that allows the tightest transfers in the industry, in 1988.
