“Our spiral was down because of electrical drive issues. We were losing production. I contacted Ashworth Factory Service and they rushed a technician in to troubleshoot our spiral. Their technician repaired the drive issue and got our spiral back up and running. I am very pleased with the level of service provided by Ashworth Factory Service."

Dimitri Poulimenos, Director of Operations
Astra Foods Inc., Upper Darby, PA

 

"Equipment reliability on our bake line is our #1 focus. The previous Ashworth Omni-Flex® belt lasted more than 10 years without issue. With that kind of dependability, it made sense to stick with a proven product, so when it was time to replace, we chose Ashworth Omni-Flex® again. The longevity of Ashworth’s belt is a testament to the quality of Ashworth’s products. We also value the ongoing local engineering support provided by Ashworth’s Technical Account Manager. The support provided helps us to identify potential performance issues before they could result in damage to our belts and conveyors. Ashworth’s proactive approach helps to minimize our maintenance costs and reduces the chance of downtime due to catastrophic belt or conveyor system failures."

“We recently replaced our Super Small Radius Omni-Grid® belt on our spiral cooker after many years of successful operation.

Conovey

"We are never ones to miss an opportunity to supply a solution that is better than anything else in the spiral freezing market. We partnered with Ashworth Brothers to design and build a revolutionary PosiDrive Tandem Spiral Conveying System to provide a customer solution for their ice cream freezing process. PosiDrive technology is far superior to the conventional and antiquated Slip Drive supplied by most spiral manufacturers today.

It’s a bullet proof design that enabled Conovey to build a completely reliable and virtually maintenance free spiral conveying system."

Country Home Bakers

"We chose Ashworth Factory Service to complete our spiral refurbishment project because they have successfully completed similar projects for us in years past. We have come to rely on Ashworth's engineering and service expertise when it comes to selecting and installing the proper belt on our spiral systems. In the course of completing our most recent spiral refurbishment project, Ashworth technicians discovered rust on the system's cage bars; which made it very difficult and time consuming to remove and install the new cage bar caps on our spiral. In addition, they found a number of broken cage bar bolts that needed to be replaced. Ashworth's technicians worked until 2:00 AM to resolve these issues that were outside the original scope of our project. As a result of the exceptional support that we received from Ashworth's Factory Service team, we were able to quickly resume production to meet our customer's product requirements."
