Increase Your Production Efficiency with the Ashworth CB3 Baking Band

CB3 Baking Band®

Problem-Free Operation in Tortilla Ovens from the Inventors of Baking Bands

The CB3 Baking Band is expressly engineered to traverse the 6” terminal rolls commonly found in tortilla ovens while providing expertly baked tortillas. The increased flexibility of the CB3 stops the band’s mesh from bending and breaking, as often occurs with less flexible bands.

NOTE: Our woven belts are measured for length under tension.

Problem-Free Operation in Tortilla Ovens from the Inventors of Baking Bands

FLEXIBLE

Flexible mesh easily turns over small, 6″ terminal rolls, reducing stress on the band and minimizing wire mesh failure due to metal fatigue

DENSE WEAVE

Dense weave promotes even heating across the entire width of the band, ensuring even baking of tortillas

LONG OPERATING LIFE

Woven to the industry’s tightest tolerances to minimize belt stretch, prevent edge sag and ensure a long operating life

PreCISION-FOrmED

Precision-formed spirals ensure true tracking

FACTORY TESTED

Every belt factory tested

Product Options

Wire

Baking bands are typically manufactured from annealed high carbon steel round wire in standard gauge sizes. Stainless steel and other steel alloys can be used if required.

Controls

Ashworth recommends use of Ashworth Model #1 or Model #2 Control System to prevent the belt from contacting oven framework and to keep the belt centered on the terminal drums.
