Nose Roll Sizing

The minimum recommended nose roll diameter for the Cleatrac® belts is 0.63" (15.9mm) for the CTB 30, 42, 48, and 60 mesh belts. Generally, use of nose rolls is not recommended with CTB 18 mesh belts.

Exception: If the application has a conveyor end-to-end distance of 10' (3 m) or less and the belt fits loosely around the conveyor, the minimum nose roll diameter may be decreased as follows:

System Requirements

Application Notes

  • UHMW material type components have a 150°F (66°C) maximum operation temperature.
  • Molded acetal material type components have a 180°F (82°C) maximum operation temperature.

Tunnel Freezers

Use with caution as ice and snow accumulates in mesh opening or on the drive components, prohibiting sprocket teeth engagement.  Install a rotary brush, or similar cleaning method, near sprocket location to minimize debris.

Soft Dough Products

Use with caution as debris may accumulate in mesh openings or on the drive components, prohibiting sprocket teeth engagement. Install a rotary brush, or similar cleaning method, near sprocket location to minimize debris.

Elevated Temperatures

Thermal expansion of the belt width may adversely affect sprocket engagement with the belt openings.  If this is evident when the belt reaches application temperature, lock only the middle third of the sprockets onto the shaft so the outer sprockets can 'float' along the shaft, allowing for thermal expansion and contraction of the belt. Keep in mind that the shaft will have to be kept clean to allow sprockets to 'float'. For flour-based products in elevated temperatures, arrange the drive configuration such that a shield prevents debris from accumulating on the shaft and drive components.

Multiple Belts Driven by Common Drive Shaft

When two or more belts are driven on a common drive shaft and product alignment is critical, Ashworth Bros., Inc., must be notified at time of the purchase order is generated so that the belts will be matched. Slight differences in belt pitch can affect the alignment of the product over longer conveyor runs (typically 10ft (3m) or greater).  Replacement belts for these applications require that the order reference previous purchase orders.

Number of Sprockets

The minimum number of sprockets per shaft (x) can be calculated based on the following formula:

X = Belt Width / (A + B)

Where:

A = maximum allowable spacing between sprockets

B = overall sprocket width

Fractional values should be reounded up to the next whole number.

The Sprocket is Equally as Important as the Belt!

Manufactured in either UHMW polyethylene or T303 stainless steel, Cleatrac uses the perfect sprockets to positively drive mesh belting. Sprockets are available in a variety of sizes but special size sprockets may be manufactured to meet a customer’s needs. 

Positive drive provides true belt travel and minimum terminal diameters allow close transfer of product onto and off belt. Sprockets are bored oversize to allow lateral movement on the shaft compensating for changes in belt width due to temperature.

Nose Roll Sizing

The minimum recommended nose roll diameter for the Cleatrac® belts is 0.63" (15.9mm) for the CTB 30, 42, 48, and 60 mesh belts. Generally, use of nose rolls is not recommended with CTB 18 mesh belts.

Exception: If the application has a conveyor end-to-end distance of 10' (3 m) or less and the belt fits loosely around the conveyor, the minimum nose roll diameter may be decreased as follows:

System Requirements

Application Notes

  • UHMW material type components have a 150°F (66°C) maximum operation temperature.
  • Molded acetal material type components have a 180°F (82°C) maximum operation temperature.

Tunnel Freezers

Use with caution as ice and snow accumulates in mesh opening or on the drive components, prohibiting sprocket teeth engagement.  Install a rotary brush, or similar cleaning method, near sprocket location to minimize debris.

Soft Dough Products

Use with caution as debris may accumulate in mesh openings or on the drive components, prohibiting sprocket teeth engagement. Install a rotary brush, or similar cleaning method, near sprocket location to minimize debris.

Elevated Temperatures

Thermal expansion of the belt width may adversely affect sprocket engagement with the belt openings.  If this is evident when the belt reaches application temperature, lock only the middle third of the sprockets onto the shaft so the outer sprockets can 'float' along the shaft, allowing for thermal expansion and contraction of the belt. Keep in mind that the shaft will have to be kept clean to allow sprockets to 'float'. For flour-based products in elevated temperatures, arrange the drive configuration such that a shield prevents debris from accumulating on the shaft and drive components.

Multiple Belts Driven by Common Drive Shaft

When two or more belts are driven on a common drive shaft and product alignment is critical, Ashworth Bros., Inc., must be notified at time of the purchase order is generated so that the belts will be matched. Slight differences in belt pitch can affect the alignment of the product over longer conveyor runs (typically 10ft (3m) or greater).  Replacement belts for these applications require that the order reference previous purchase orders.

Number of Sprockets

The minimum number of sprockets per shaft (x) can be calculated based on the following formula:

X = Belt Width / (A + B)

Where:

A = maximum allowable spacing between sprockets

B = overall sprocket width

Fractional values should be reounded up to the next whole number.

The Sprocket is Equally as Important as the Belt!

Manufactured in either UHMW polyethylene or T303 stainless steel, Cleatrac uses the perfect sprockets to positively drive mesh belting. Sprockets are available in a variety of sizes but special size sprockets may be manufactured to meet a customer’s needs. 

Positive drive provides true belt travel and minimum terminal diameters allow close transfer of product onto and off belt. Sprockets are bored oversize to allow lateral movement on the shaft compensating for changes in belt width due to temperature.

Nose Roll Sizing

The minimum recommended nose roll diameter for the Cleatrac® belts is 0.63" (15.9mm) for the CTB 30, 42, 48, and 60 mesh belts. Generally, use of nose rolls is not recommended with CTB 18 mesh belts.

Exception: If the application has a conveyor end-to-end distance of 10' (3 m) or less and the belt fits loosely around the conveyor, the minimum nose roll diameter may be decreased as follows:

System Requirements

Application Notes

  • UHMW material type components have a 150°F (66°C) maximum operation temperature.
  • Molded acetal material type components have a 180°F (82°C) maximum operation temperature.

Tunnel Freezers

Use with caution as ice and snow accumulates in mesh opening or on the drive components, prohibiting sprocket teeth engagement.  Install a rotary brush, or similar cleaning method, near sprocket location to minimize debris.

Soft Dough Products

Use with caution as debris may accumulate in mesh openings or on the drive components, prohibiting sprocket teeth engagement. Install a rotary brush, or similar cleaning method, near sprocket location to minimize debris.

Elevated Temperatures

Thermal expansion of the belt width may adversely affect sprocket engagement with the belt openings.  If this is evident when the belt reaches application temperature, lock only the middle third of the sprockets onto the shaft so the outer sprockets can 'float' along the shaft, allowing for thermal expansion and contraction of the belt. Keep in mind that the shaft will have to be kept clean to allow sprockets to 'float'. For flour-based products in elevated temperatures, arrange the drive configuration such that a shield prevents debris from accumulating on the shaft and drive components.

Multiple Belts Driven by Common Drive Shaft

When two or more belts are driven on a common drive shaft and product alignment is critical, Ashworth Bros., Inc., must be notified at time of the purchase order is generated so that the belts will be matched. Slight differences in belt pitch can affect the alignment of the product over longer conveyor runs (typically 10ft (3m) or greater).  Replacement belts for these applications require that the order reference previous purchase orders.

Number of Sprockets

The minimum number of sprockets per shaft (x) can be calculated based on the following formula:

X = Belt Width / (A + B)

Where:

A = maximum allowable spacing between sprockets

B = overall sprocket width

Fractional values should be reounded up to the next whole number.

The Sprocket is Equally as Important as the Belt!

Manufactured in either UHMW polyethylene or T303 stainless steel, Cleatrac uses the perfect sprockets to positively drive mesh belting. Sprockets are available in a variety of sizes but special size sprockets may be manufactured to meet a customer’s needs. 

Positive drive provides true belt travel and minimum terminal diameters allow close transfer of product onto and off belt. Sprockets are bored oversize to allow lateral movement on the shaft compensating for changes in belt width due to temperature.

Nose Roll Sizing

The minimum recommended nose roll diameter for the Cleatrac® belts is 0.63" (15.9mm) for the CTB 30, 42, 48, and 60 mesh belts. Generally, use of nose rolls is not recommended with CTB 18 mesh belts.

Exception: If the application has a conveyor end-to-end distance of 10' (3 m) or less and the belt fits loosely around the conveyor, the minimum nose roll diameter may be decreased as follows:

System Requirements

Application Notes

  • UHMW material type components have a 150°F (66°C) maximum operation temperature.
  • Molded acetal material type components have a 180°F (82°C) maximum operation temperature.

Tunnel Freezers

Use with caution as ice and snow accumulates in mesh opening or on the drive components, prohibiting sprocket teeth engagement.  Install a rotary brush, or similar cleaning method, near sprocket location to minimize debris.

Soft Dough Products

Use with caution as debris may accumulate in mesh openings or on the drive components, prohibiting sprocket teeth engagement. Install a rotary brush, or similar cleaning method, near sprocket location to minimize debris.

Elevated Temperatures

Thermal expansion of the belt width may adversely affect sprocket engagement with the belt openings.  If this is evident when the belt reaches application temperature, lock only the middle third of the sprockets onto the shaft so the outer sprockets can 'float' along the shaft, allowing for thermal expansion and contraction of the belt. Keep in mind that the shaft will have to be kept clean to allow sprockets to 'float'. For flour-based products in elevated temperatures, arrange the drive configuration such that a shield prevents debris from accumulating on the shaft and drive components.

Multiple Belts Driven by Common Drive Shaft

When two or more belts are driven on a common drive shaft and product alignment is critical, Ashworth Bros., Inc., must be notified at time of the purchase order is generated so that the belts will be matched. Slight differences in belt pitch can affect the alignment of the product over longer conveyor runs (typically 10ft (3m) or greater).  Replacement belts for these applications require that the order reference previous purchase orders.

Number of Sprockets

The minimum number of sprockets per shaft (x) can be calculated based on the following formula:

X = Belt Width / (A + B)

Where:

A = maximum allowable spacing between sprockets

B = overall sprocket width

Fractional values should be reounded up to the next whole number.

The Sprocket is Equally as Important as the Belt!

Manufactured in either UHMW polyethylene or T303 stainless steel, Cleatrac uses the perfect sprockets to positively drive mesh belting. Sprockets are available in a variety of sizes but special size sprockets may be manufactured to meet a customer’s needs. 

Positive drive provides true belt travel and minimum terminal diameters allow close transfer of product onto and off belt. Sprockets are bored oversize to allow lateral movement on the shaft compensating for changes in belt width due to temperature.

System Requirements

Application Notes

  • UHMW material type components have a 150°F (66°C) maximum operation temperature.
  • Molded acetal material type components have a 180°F (82°C) maximum operation temperature.

Tunnel Freezers

Use with caution as ice and snow accumulates in mesh opening or on the drive components, prohibiting sprocket teeth engagement.  Install a rotary brush, or similar cleaning method, near sprocket location to minimize debris.

Soft Dough Products

Use with caution as debris may accumulate in mesh openings or on the drive components, prohibiting sprocket teeth engagement. Install a rotary brush, or similar cleaning method, near sprocket location to minimize debris.

Elevated Temperatures

Thermal expansion of the belt width may adversely affect sprocket engagement with the belt openings.  If this is evident when the belt reaches application temperature, lock only the middle third of the sprockets onto the shaft so the outer sprockets can 'float' along the shaft, allowing for thermal expansion and contraction of the belt. Keep in mind that the shaft will have to be kept clean to allow sprockets to 'float'. For flour-based products in elevated temperatures, arrange the drive configuration such that a shield prevents debris from accumulating on the shaft and drive components.

Multiple Belts Driven by Common Drive Shaft

When two or more belts are driven on a common drive shaft and product alignment is critical, Ashworth Bros., Inc., must be notified at time of the purchase order is generated so that the belts will be matched. Slight differences in belt pitch can affect the alignment of the product over longer conveyor runs (typically 10ft (3m) or greater).  Replacement belts for these applications require that the order reference previous purchase orders.

Number of Sprockets

The minimum number of sprockets per shaft (x) can be calculated based on the following formula:

X = Belt Width / (A + B)

Where:

A = maximum allowable spacing between sprockets

B = overall sprocket width

Fractional values should be reounded up to the next whole number.

The Sprocket is Equally as Important as the Belt!

Manufactured in either UHMW polyethylene or T303 stainless steel, Cleatrac uses the perfect sprockets to positively drive mesh belting. Sprockets are available in a variety of sizes but special size sprockets may be manufactured to meet a customer’s needs. 

Positive drive provides true belt travel and minimum terminal diameters allow close transfer of product onto and off belt. Sprockets are bored oversize to allow lateral movement on the shaft compensating for changes in belt width due to temperature.

Nose Roll Sizing

The minimum recommended nose roll diameter for the Cleatrac® belts is 0.63" (15.9mm) for the CTB 30, 42, 48, and 60 mesh belts. Generally, use of nose rolls is not recommended with CTB 18 mesh belts.

Exception: If the application has a conveyor end-to-end distance of 10' (3 m) or less and the belt fits loosely around the conveyor, the minimum nose roll diameter may be decreased as follows:

System Requirements

Application Notes

  • UHMW material type components have a 150°F (66°C) maximum operation temperature.
  • Molded acetal material type components have a 180°F (82°C) maximum operation temperature.

Tunnel Freezers

Use with caution as ice and snow accumulates in mesh opening or on the drive components, prohibiting sprocket teeth engagement.  Install a rotary brush, or similar cleaning method, near sprocket location to minimize debris.

Soft Dough Products

Use with caution as debris may accumulate in mesh openings or on the drive components, prohibiting sprocket teeth engagement. Install a rotary brush, or similar cleaning method, near sprocket location to minimize debris.

Elevated Temperatures

Thermal expansion of the belt width may adversely affect sprocket engagement with the belt openings.  If this is evident when the belt reaches application temperature, lock only the middle third of the sprockets onto the shaft so the outer sprockets can 'float' along the shaft, allowing for thermal expansion and contraction of the belt. Keep in mind that the shaft will have to be kept clean to allow sprockets to 'float'. For flour-based products in elevated temperatures, arrange the drive configuration such that a shield prevents debris from accumulating on the shaft and drive components.

Multiple Belts Driven by Common Drive Shaft

When two or more belts are driven on a common drive shaft and product alignment is critical, Ashworth Bros., Inc., must be notified at time of the purchase order is generated so that the belts will be matched. Slight differences in belt pitch can affect the alignment of the product over longer conveyor runs (typically 10ft (3m) or greater).  Replacement belts for these applications require that the order reference previous purchase orders.

Number of Sprockets

The minimum number of sprockets per shaft (x) can be calculated based on the following formula:

X = Belt Width / (A + B)

Where:

A = maximum allowable spacing between sprockets

B = overall sprocket width

Fractional values should be reounded up to the next whole number.

The Sprocket is Equally as Important as the Belt!

Manufactured in either UHMW polyethylene or T303 stainless steel, Cleatrac uses the perfect sprockets to positively drive mesh belting. Sprockets are available in a variety of sizes but special size sprockets may be manufactured to meet a customer’s needs. 

Positive drive provides true belt travel and minimum terminal diameters allow close transfer of product onto and off belt. Sprockets are bored oversize to allow lateral movement on the shaft compensating for changes in belt width due to temperature.

Nose Roll Sizing

The minimum recommended nose roll diameter for the Cleatrac® belts is 0.63" (15.9mm) for the CTB 30, 42, 48, and 60 mesh belts. Generally, use of nose rolls is not recommended with CTB 18 mesh belts.

Exception: If the application has a conveyor end-to-end distance of 10' (3 m) or less and the belt fits loosely around the conveyor, the minimum nose roll diameter may be decreased as follows:

System Requirements

Application Notes

  • UHMW material type components have a 150°F (66°C) maximum operation temperature.
  • Molded acetal material type components have a 180°F (82°C) maximum operation temperature.

Tunnel Freezers

Use with caution as ice and snow accumulates in mesh opening or on the drive components, prohibiting sprocket teeth engagement.  Install a rotary brush, or similar cleaning method, near sprocket location to minimize debris.

Soft Dough Products

Use with caution as debris may accumulate in mesh openings or on the drive components, prohibiting sprocket teeth engagement. Install a rotary brush, or similar cleaning method, near sprocket location to minimize debris.

Elevated Temperatures

Thermal expansion of the belt width may adversely affect sprocket engagement with the belt openings.  If this is evident when the belt reaches application temperature, lock only the middle third of the sprockets onto the shaft so the outer sprockets can 'float' along the shaft, allowing for thermal expansion and contraction of the belt. Keep in mind that the shaft will have to be kept clean to allow sprockets to 'float'. For flour-based products in elevated temperatures, arrange the drive configuration such that a shield prevents debris from accumulating on the shaft and drive components.

Multiple Belts Driven by Common Drive Shaft

When two or more belts are driven on a common drive shaft and product alignment is critical, Ashworth Bros., Inc., must be notified at time of the purchase order is generated so that the belts will be matched. Slight differences in belt pitch can affect the alignment of the product over longer conveyor runs (typically 10ft (3m) or greater).  Replacement belts for these applications require that the order reference previous purchase orders.

Number of Sprockets

The minimum number of sprockets per shaft (x) can be calculated based on the following formula:

X = Belt Width / (A + B)

Where:

A = maximum allowable spacing between sprockets

B = overall sprocket width

Fractional values should be reounded up to the next whole number.

The Sprocket is Equally as Important as the Belt!

Manufactured in either UHMW polyethylene or T303 stainless steel, Cleatrac uses the perfect sprockets to positively drive mesh belting. Sprockets are available in a variety of sizes but special size sprockets may be manufactured to meet a customer’s needs. 

Positive drive provides true belt travel and minimum terminal diameters allow close transfer of product onto and off belt. Sprockets are bored oversize to allow lateral movement on the shaft compensating for changes in belt width due to temperature.

Nose Roll Sizing

The minimum recommended nose roll diameter for the Cleatrac® belts is 0.63" (15.9mm) for the CTB 30, 42, 48, and 60 mesh belts. Generally, use of nose rolls is not recommended with CTB 18 mesh belts.

Exception: If the application has a conveyor end-to-end distance of 10' (3 m) or less and the belt fits loosely around the conveyor, the minimum nose roll diameter may be decreased as follows:

System Requirements

Application Notes

  • UHMW material type components have a 150°F (66°C) maximum operation temperature.
  • Molded acetal material type components have a 180°F (82°C) maximum operation temperature.

Tunnel Freezers

Use with caution as ice and snow accumulates in mesh opening or on the drive components, prohibiting sprocket teeth engagement.  Install a rotary brush, or similar cleaning method, near sprocket location to minimize debris.

Soft Dough Products

Use with caution as debris may accumulate in mesh openings or on the drive components, prohibiting sprocket teeth engagement. Install a rotary brush, or similar cleaning method, near sprocket location to minimize debris.

Elevated Temperatures

Thermal expansion of the belt width may adversely affect sprocket engagement with the belt openings.  If this is evident when the belt reaches application temperature, lock only the middle third of the sprockets onto the shaft so the outer sprockets can 'float' along the shaft, allowing for thermal expansion and contraction of the belt. Keep in mind that the shaft will have to be kept clean to allow sprockets to 'float'. For flour-based products in elevated temperatures, arrange the drive configuration such that a shield prevents debris from accumulating on the shaft and drive components.

Multiple Belts Driven by Common Drive Shaft

When two or more belts are driven on a common drive shaft and product alignment is critical, Ashworth Bros., Inc., must be notified at time of the purchase order is generated so that the belts will be matched. Slight differences in belt pitch can affect the alignment of the product over longer conveyor runs (typically 10ft (3m) or greater).  Replacement belts for these applications require that the order reference previous purchase orders.

Number of Sprockets

The minimum number of sprockets per shaft (x) can be calculated based on the following formula:

X = Belt Width / (A + B)

Where:

A = maximum allowable spacing between sprockets

B = overall sprocket width

Fractional values should be reounded up to the next whole number.

The Sprocket is Equally as Important as the Belt!

Manufactured in either UHMW polyethylene or T303 stainless steel, Cleatrac uses the perfect sprockets to positively drive mesh belting. Sprockets are available in a variety of sizes but special size sprockets may be manufactured to meet a customer’s needs. 

Positive drive provides true belt travel and minimum terminal diameters allow close transfer of product onto and off belt. Sprockets are bored oversize to allow lateral movement on the shaft compensating for changes in belt width due to temperature.

Nose Roll Sizing

The minimum recommended nose roll diameter for the Cleatrac® belts is 0.63" (15.9mm) for the CTB 30, 42, 48, and 60 mesh belts. Generally, use of nose rolls is not recommended with CTB 18 mesh belts.

Exception: If the application has a conveyor end-to-end distance of 10' (3 m) or less and the belt fits loosely around the conveyor, the minimum nose roll diameter may be decreased as follows:

System Requirements

Application Notes

  • UHMW material type components have a 150°F (66°C) maximum operation temperature.
  • Molded acetal material type components have a 180°F (82°C) maximum operation temperature.

Tunnel Freezers

Use with caution as ice and snow accumulates in mesh opening or on the drive components, prohibiting sprocket teeth engagement.  Install a rotary brush, or similar cleaning method, near sprocket location to minimize debris.

Soft Dough Products

Use with caution as debris may accumulate in mesh openings or on the drive components, prohibiting sprocket teeth engagement. Install a rotary brush, or similar cleaning method, near sprocket location to minimize debris.

Elevated Temperatures

Thermal expansion of the belt width may adversely affect sprocket engagement with the belt openings.  If this is evident when the belt reaches application temperature, lock only the middle third of the sprockets onto the shaft so the outer sprockets can 'float' along the shaft, allowing for thermal expansion and contraction of the belt. Keep in mind that the shaft will have to be kept clean to allow sprockets to 'float'. For flour-based products in elevated temperatures, arrange the drive configuration such that a shield prevents debris from accumulating on the shaft and drive components.

Multiple Belts Driven by Common Drive Shaft

When two or more belts are driven on a common drive shaft and product alignment is critical, Ashworth Bros., Inc., must be notified at time of the purchase order is generated so that the belts will be matched. Slight differences in belt pitch can affect the alignment of the product over longer conveyor runs (typically 10ft (3m) or greater).  Replacement belts for these applications require that the order reference previous purchase orders.

Number of Sprockets

The minimum number of sprockets per shaft (x) can be calculated based on the following formula:

X = Belt Width / (A + B)

Where:

A = maximum allowable spacing between sprockets

B = overall sprocket width

Fractional values should be reounded up to the next whole number.

The Sprocket is Equally as Important as the Belt!

Manufactured in either UHMW polyethylene or T303 stainless steel, Cleatrac uses the perfect sprockets to positively drive mesh belting. Sprockets are available in a variety of sizes but special size sprockets may be manufactured to meet a customer’s needs. 

Positive drive provides true belt travel and minimum terminal diameters allow close transfer of product onto and off belt. Sprockets are bored oversize to allow lateral movement on the shaft compensating for changes in belt width due to temperature.

Nose Roll Sizing

The minimum recommended nose roll diameter for the Cleatrac® belts is 0.63" (15.9mm) for the CTB 30, 42, 48, and 60 mesh belts. Generally, use of nose rolls is not recommended with CTB 18 mesh belts.

Exception: If the application has a conveyor end-to-end distance of 10' (3 m) or less and the belt fits loosely around the conveyor, the minimum nose roll diameter may be decreased as follows:

System Requirements

Application Notes

  • UHMW material type components have a 150°F (66°C) maximum operation temperature.
  • Molded acetal material type components have a 180°F (82°C) maximum operation temperature.

Tunnel Freezers

Use with caution as ice and snow accumulates in mesh opening or on the drive components, prohibiting sprocket teeth engagement.  Install a rotary brush, or similar cleaning method, near sprocket location to minimize debris.

Soft Dough Products

Use with caution as debris may accumulate in mesh openings or on the drive components, prohibiting sprocket teeth engagement. Install a rotary brush, or similar cleaning method, near sprocket location to minimize debris.

Elevated Temperatures

Thermal expansion of the belt width may adversely affect sprocket engagement with the belt openings.  If this is evident when the belt reaches application temperature, lock only the middle third of the sprockets onto the shaft so the outer sprockets can 'float' along the shaft, allowing for thermal expansion and contraction of the belt. Keep in mind that the shaft will have to be kept clean to allow sprockets to 'float'. For flour-based products in elevated temperatures, arrange the drive configuration such that a shield prevents debris from accumulating on the shaft and drive components.

Multiple Belts Driven by Common Drive Shaft

When two or more belts are driven on a common drive shaft and product alignment is critical, Ashworth Bros., Inc., must be notified at time of the purchase order is generated so that the belts will be matched. Slight differences in belt pitch can affect the alignment of the product over longer conveyor runs (typically 10ft (3m) or greater).  Replacement belts for these applications require that the order reference previous purchase orders.

Number of Sprockets

The minimum number of sprockets per shaft (x) can be calculated based on the following formula:

X = Belt Width / (A + B)

Where:

A = maximum allowable spacing between sprockets

B = overall sprocket width

Fractional values should be reounded up to the next whole number.

The Sprocket is Equally as Important as the Belt!

Manufactured in either UHMW polyethylene or T303 stainless steel, Cleatrac uses the perfect sprockets to positively drive mesh belting. Sprockets are available in a variety of sizes but special size sprockets may be manufactured to meet a customer’s needs. 

Positive drive provides true belt travel and minimum terminal diameters allow close transfer of product onto and off belt. Sprockets are bored oversize to allow lateral movement on the shaft compensating for changes in belt width due to temperature.

Nose Roll Sizing

The minimum recommended nose roll diameter for the Cleatrac® belts is 0.63" (15.9mm) for the CTB 30, 42, 48, and 60 mesh belts. Generally, use of nose rolls is not recommended with CTB 18 mesh belts.

Exception: If the application has a conveyor end-to-end distance of 10' (3 m) or less and the belt fits loosely around the conveyor, the minimum nose roll diameter may be decreased as follows:

System Requirements

Application Notes

  • UHMW material type components have a 150°F (66°C) maximum operation temperature.
  • Molded acetal material type components have a 180°F (82°C) maximum operation temperature.

Tunnel Freezers

Use with caution as ice and snow accumulates in mesh opening or on the drive components, prohibiting sprocket teeth engagement.  Install a rotary brush, or similar cleaning method, near sprocket location to minimize debris.

Soft Dough Products

Use with caution as debris may accumulate in mesh openings or on the drive components, prohibiting sprocket teeth engagement. Install a rotary brush, or similar cleaning method, near sprocket location to minimize debris.

Elevated Temperatures

Thermal expansion of the belt width may adversely affect sprocket engagement with the belt openings.  If this is evident when the belt reaches application temperature, lock only the middle third of the sprockets onto the shaft so the outer sprockets can 'float' along the shaft, allowing for thermal expansion and contraction of the belt. Keep in mind that the shaft will have to be kept clean to allow sprockets to 'float'. For flour-based products in elevated temperatures, arrange the drive configuration such that a shield prevents debris from accumulating on the shaft and drive components.

Multiple Belts Driven by Common Drive Shaft

When two or more belts are driven on a common drive shaft and product alignment is critical, Ashworth Bros., Inc., must be notified at time of the purchase order is generated so that the belts will be matched. Slight differences in belt pitch can affect the alignment of the product over longer conveyor runs (typically 10ft (3m) or greater).  Replacement belts for these applications require that the order reference previous purchase orders.

Number of Sprockets

The minimum number of sprockets per shaft (x) can be calculated based on the following formula:

X = Belt Width / (A + B)

Where:

A = maximum allowable spacing between sprockets

B = overall sprocket width

Fractional values should be reounded up to the next whole number.

The Sprocket is Equally as Important as the Belt!

Manufactured in either UHMW polyethylene or T303 stainless steel, Cleatrac uses the perfect sprockets to positively drive mesh belting. Sprockets are available in a variety of sizes but special size sprockets may be manufactured to meet a customer’s needs. 

Positive drive provides true belt travel and minimum terminal diameters allow close transfer of product onto and off belt. Sprockets are bored oversize to allow lateral movement on the shaft compensating for changes in belt width due to temperature.

Nose Roll Sizing

The minimum recommended nose roll diameter for the Cleatrac® belts is 0.63" (15.9mm) for the CTB 30, 42, 48, and 60 mesh belts. Generally, use of nose rolls is not recommended with CTB 18 mesh belts.

Exception: If the application has a conveyor end-to-end distance of 10' (3 m) or less and the belt fits loosely around the conveyor, the minimum nose roll diameter may be decreased as follows:

System Requirements

Application Notes

  • UHMW material type components have a 150°F (66°C) maximum operation temperature.
  • Molded acetal material type components have a 180°F (82°C) maximum operation temperature.

Tunnel Freezers

Use with caution as ice and snow accumulates in mesh opening or on the drive components, prohibiting sprocket teeth engagement.  Install a rotary brush, or similar cleaning method, near sprocket location to minimize debris.

Soft Dough Products

Use with caution as debris may accumulate in mesh openings or on the drive components, prohibiting sprocket teeth engagement. Install a rotary brush, or similar cleaning method, near sprocket location to minimize debris.

Elevated Temperatures

Thermal expansion of the belt width may adversely affect sprocket engagement with the belt openings.  If this is evident when the belt reaches application temperature, lock only the middle third of the sprockets onto the shaft so the outer sprockets can 'float' along the shaft, allowing for thermal expansion and contraction of the belt. Keep in mind that the shaft will have to be kept clean to allow sprockets to 'float'. For flour-based products in elevated temperatures, arrange the drive configuration such that a shield prevents debris from accumulating on the shaft and drive components.

Multiple Belts Driven by Common Drive Shaft

When two or more belts are driven on a common drive shaft and product alignment is critical, Ashworth Bros., Inc., must be notified at time of the purchase order is generated so that the belts will be matched. Slight differences in belt pitch can affect the alignment of the product over longer conveyor runs (typically 10ft (3m) or greater).  Replacement belts for these applications require that the order reference previous purchase orders.

Number of Sprockets

The minimum number of sprockets per shaft (x) can be calculated based on the following formula:

X = Belt Width / (A + B)

Where:

A = maximum allowable spacing between sprockets

B = overall sprocket width

Fractional values should be reounded up to the next whole number.

The Sprocket is Equally as Important as the Belt!

Manufactured in either UHMW polyethylene or T303 stainless steel, Cleatrac uses the perfect sprockets to positively drive mesh belting. Sprockets are available in a variety of sizes but special size sprockets may be manufactured to meet a customer’s needs. 

Positive drive provides true belt travel and minimum terminal diameters allow close transfer of product onto and off belt. Sprockets are bored oversize to allow lateral movement on the shaft compensating for changes in belt width due to temperature.

Nose Roll Sizing

The minimum recommended nose roll diameter for the Cleatrac® belts is 0.63" (15.9mm) for the CTB 30, 42, 48, and 60 mesh belts. Generally, use of nose rolls is not recommended with CTB 18 mesh belts.

Exception: If the application has a conveyor end-to-end distance of 10' (3 m) or less and the belt fits loosely around the conveyor, the minimum nose roll diameter may be decreased as follows:

System Requirements

Application Notes

  • UHMW material type components have a 150°F (66°C) maximum operation temperature.
  • Molded acetal material type components have a 180°F (82°C) maximum operation temperature.

Tunnel Freezers

Use with caution as ice and snow accumulates in mesh opening or on the drive components, prohibiting sprocket teeth engagement.  Install a rotary brush, or similar cleaning method, near sprocket location to minimize debris.

Soft Dough Products

Use with caution as debris may accumulate in mesh openings or on the drive components, prohibiting sprocket teeth engagement. Install a rotary brush, or similar cleaning method, near sprocket location to minimize debris.

Elevated Temperatures

Thermal expansion of the belt width may adversely affect sprocket engagement with the belt openings.  If this is evident when the belt reaches application temperature, lock only the middle third of the sprockets onto the shaft so the outer sprockets can 'float' along the shaft, allowing for thermal expansion and contraction of the belt. Keep in mind that the shaft will have to be kept clean to allow sprockets to 'float'. For flour-based products in elevated temperatures, arrange the drive configuration such that a shield prevents debris from accumulating on the shaft and drive components.

Multiple Belts Driven by Common Drive Shaft

When two or more belts are driven on a common drive shaft and product alignment is critical, Ashworth Bros., Inc., must be notified at time of the purchase order is generated so that the belts will be matched. Slight differences in belt pitch can affect the alignment of the product over longer conveyor runs (typically 10ft (3m) or greater).  Replacement belts for these applications require that the order reference previous purchase orders.

Number of Sprockets

The minimum number of sprockets per shaft (x) can be calculated based on the following formula:

X = Belt Width / (A + B)

Where:

A = maximum allowable spacing between sprockets

B = overall sprocket width

Fractional values should be reounded up to the next whole number.

The Sprocket is Equally as Important as the Belt!

Manufactured in either UHMW polyethylene or T303 stainless steel, Cleatrac uses the perfect sprockets to positively drive mesh belting. Sprockets are available in a variety of sizes but special size sprockets may be manufactured to meet a customer’s needs. 

Positive drive provides true belt travel and minimum terminal diameters allow close transfer of product onto and off belt. Sprockets are bored oversize to allow lateral movement on the shaft compensating for changes in belt width due to temperature.

Nose Roll Sizing

The minimum recommended nose roll diameter for the Cleatrac® belts is 0.63" (15.9mm) for the CTB 30, 42, 48, and 60 mesh belts. Generally, use of nose rolls is not recommended with CTB 18 mesh belts.

Exception: If the application has a conveyor end-to-end distance of 10' (3 m) or less and the belt fits loosely around the conveyor, the minimum nose roll diameter may be decreased as follows:

System Requirements

Application Notes

  • UHMW material type components have a 150°F (66°C) maximum operation temperature.
  • Molded acetal material type components have a 180°F (82°C) maximum operation temperature.

Tunnel Freezers

Use with caution as ice and snow accumulates in mesh opening or on the drive components, prohibiting sprocket teeth engagement.  Install a rotary brush, or similar cleaning method, near sprocket location to minimize debris.

Soft Dough Products

Use with caution as debris may accumulate in mesh openings or on the drive components, prohibiting sprocket teeth engagement. Install a rotary brush, or similar cleaning method, near sprocket location to minimize debris.

Elevated Temperatures

Thermal expansion of the belt width may adversely affect sprocket engagement with the belt openings.  If this is evident when the belt reaches application temperature, lock only the middle third of the sprockets onto the shaft so the outer sprockets can 'float' along the shaft, allowing for thermal expansion and contraction of the belt. Keep in mind that the shaft will have to be kept clean to allow sprockets to 'float'. For flour-based products in elevated temperatures, arrange the drive configuration such that a shield prevents debris from accumulating on the shaft and drive components.

Multiple Belts Driven by Common Drive Shaft

When two or more belts are driven on a common drive shaft and product alignment is critical, Ashworth Bros., Inc., must be notified at time of the purchase order is generated so that the belts will be matched. Slight differences in belt pitch can affect the alignment of the product over longer conveyor runs (typically 10ft (3m) or greater).  Replacement belts for these applications require that the order reference previous purchase orders.

Number of Sprockets

The minimum number of sprockets per shaft (x) can be calculated based on the following formula:

X = Belt Width / (A + B)

Where:

A = maximum allowable spacing between sprockets

B = overall sprocket width

Fractional values should be reounded up to the next whole number.

The Sprocket is Equally as Important as the Belt!

Manufactured in either UHMW polyethylene or T303 stainless steel, Cleatrac uses the perfect sprockets to positively drive mesh belting. Sprockets are available in a variety of sizes but special size sprockets may be manufactured to meet a customer’s needs. 

Positive drive provides true belt travel and minimum terminal diameters allow close transfer of product onto and off belt. Sprockets are bored oversize to allow lateral movement on the shaft compensating for changes in belt width due to temperature.

Nose Roll Sizing

The minimum recommended nose roll diameter for the Cleatrac® belts is 0.63" (15.9mm) for the CTB 30, 42, 48, and 60 mesh belts. Generally, use of nose rolls is not recommended with CTB 18 mesh belts.

Exception: If the application has a conveyor end-to-end distance of 10' (3 m) or less and the belt fits loosely around the conveyor, the minimum nose roll diameter may be decreased as follows:

System Requirements

Application Notes

  • UHMW material type components have a 150°F (66°C) maximum operation temperature.
  • Molded acetal material type components have a 180°F (82°C) maximum operation temperature.

Tunnel Freezers

Use with caution as ice and snow accumulates in mesh opening or on the drive components, prohibiting sprocket teeth engagement.  Install a rotary brush, or similar cleaning method, near sprocket location to minimize debris.

Soft Dough Products

Use with caution as debris may accumulate in mesh openings or on the drive components, prohibiting sprocket teeth engagement. Install a rotary brush, or similar cleaning method, near sprocket location to minimize debris.

Elevated Temperatures

Thermal expansion of the belt width may adversely affect sprocket engagement with the belt openings.  If this is evident when the belt reaches application temperature, lock only the middle third of the sprockets onto the shaft so the outer sprockets can 'float' along the shaft, allowing for thermal expansion and contraction of the belt. Keep in mind that the shaft will have to be kept clean to allow sprockets to 'float'. For flour-based products in elevated temperatures, arrange the drive configuration such that a shield prevents debris from accumulating on the shaft and drive components.

Multiple Belts Driven by Common Drive Shaft

When two or more belts are driven on a common drive shaft and product alignment is critical, Ashworth Bros., Inc., must be notified at time of the purchase order is generated so that the belts will be matched. Slight differences in belt pitch can affect the alignment of the product over longer conveyor runs (typically 10ft (3m) or greater).  Replacement belts for these applications require that the order reference previous purchase orders.

Number of Sprockets

The minimum number of sprockets per shaft (x) can be calculated based on the following formula:

X = Belt Width / (A + B)

Where:

A = maximum allowable spacing between sprockets

B = overall sprocket width

Fractional values should be reounded up to the next whole number.

The Sprocket is Equally as Important as the Belt!

Manufactured in either UHMW polyethylene or T303 stainless steel, Cleatrac uses the perfect sprockets to positively drive mesh belting. Sprockets are available in a variety of sizes but special size sprockets may be manufactured to meet a customer’s needs. 

Positive drive provides true belt travel and minimum terminal diameters allow close transfer of product onto and off belt. Sprockets are bored oversize to allow lateral movement on the shaft compensating for changes in belt width due to temperature.

Nose Roll Sizing

The minimum recommended nose roll diameter for the Cleatrac® belts is 0.63" (15.9mm) for the CTB 30, 42, 48, and 60 mesh belts. Generally, use of nose rolls is not recommended with CTB 18 mesh belts.

Exception: If the application has a conveyor end-to-end distance of 10' (3 m) or less and the belt fits loosely around the conveyor, the minimum nose roll diameter may be decreased as follows:

System Requirements

Application Notes

  • UHMW material type components have a 150°F (66°C) maximum operation temperature.
  • Molded acetal material type components have a 180°F (82°C) maximum operation temperature.

Tunnel Freezers

Use with caution as ice and snow accumulates in mesh opening or on the drive components, prohibiting sprocket teeth engagement.  Install a rotary brush, or similar cleaning method, near sprocket location to minimize debris.

Soft Dough Products

Use with caution as debris may accumulate in mesh openings or on the drive components, prohibiting sprocket teeth engagement. Install a rotary brush, or similar cleaning method, near sprocket location to minimize debris.

Elevated Temperatures

Thermal expansion of the belt width may adversely affect sprocket engagement with the belt openings.  If this is evident when the belt reaches application temperature, lock only the middle third of the sprockets onto the shaft so the outer sprockets can 'float' along the shaft, allowing for thermal expansion and contraction of the belt. Keep in mind that the shaft will have to be kept clean to allow sprockets to 'float'. For flour-based products in elevated temperatures, arrange the drive configuration such that a shield prevents debris from accumulating on the shaft and drive components.

Multiple Belts Driven by Common Drive Shaft

When two or more belts are driven on a common drive shaft and product alignment is critical, Ashworth Bros., Inc., must be notified at time of the purchase order is generated so that the belts will be matched. Slight differences in belt pitch can affect the alignment of the product over longer conveyor runs (typically 10ft (3m) or greater).  Replacement belts for these applications require that the order reference previous purchase orders.

Number of Sprockets

The minimum number of sprockets per shaft (x) can be calculated based on the following formula:

X = Belt Width / (A + B)

Where:

A = maximum allowable spacing between sprockets

B = overall sprocket width

Fractional values should be reounded up to the next whole number.

The Sprocket is Equally as Important as the Belt!

Manufactured in either UHMW polyethylene or T303 stainless steel, Cleatrac uses the perfect sprockets to positively drive mesh belting. Sprockets are available in a variety of sizes but special size sprockets may be manufactured to meet a customer’s needs. 

Positive drive provides true belt travel and minimum terminal diameters allow close transfer of product onto and off belt. Sprockets are bored oversize to allow lateral movement on the shaft compensating for changes in belt width due to temperature.

Nose Roll Sizing

The minimum recommended nose roll diameter for the Cleatrac® belts is 0.63" (15.9mm) for the CTB 30, 42, 48, and 60 mesh belts. Generally, use of nose rolls is not recommended with CTB 18 mesh belts.

Exception: If the application has a conveyor end-to-end distance of 10' (3 m) or less and the belt fits loosely around the conveyor, the minimum nose roll diameter may be decreased as follows:

System Requirements

Application Notes

  • UHMW material type components have a 150°F (66°C) maximum operation temperature.
  • Molded acetal material type components have a 180°F (82°C) maximum operation temperature.

Tunnel Freezers

Use with caution as ice and snow accumulates in mesh opening or on the drive components, prohibiting sprocket teeth engagement.  Install a rotary brush, or similar cleaning method, near sprocket location to minimize debris.

Soft Dough Products

Use with caution as debris may accumulate in mesh openings or on the drive components, prohibiting sprocket teeth engagement. Install a rotary brush, or similar cleaning method, near sprocket location to minimize debris.

Elevated Temperatures

Thermal expansion of the belt width may adversely affect sprocket engagement with the belt openings.  If this is evident when the belt reaches application temperature, lock only the middle third of the sprockets onto the shaft so the outer sprockets can 'float' along the shaft, allowing for thermal expansion and contraction of the belt. Keep in mind that the shaft will have to be kept clean to allow sprockets to 'float'. For flour-based products in elevated temperatures, arrange the drive configuration such that a shield prevents debris from accumulating on the shaft and drive components.

Multiple Belts Driven by Common Drive Shaft

When two or more belts are driven on a common drive shaft and product alignment is critical, Ashworth Bros., Inc., must be notified at time of the purchase order is generated so that the belts will be matched. Slight differences in belt pitch can affect the alignment of the product over longer conveyor runs (typically 10ft (3m) or greater).  Replacement belts for these applications require that the order reference previous purchase orders.

Number of Sprockets

The minimum number of sprockets per shaft (x) can be calculated based on the following formula:

X = Belt Width / (A + B)

Where:

A = maximum allowable spacing between sprockets

B = overall sprocket width

Fractional values should be reounded up to the next whole number.

The Sprocket is Equally as Important as the Belt!

Manufactured in either UHMW polyethylene or T303 stainless steel, Cleatrac uses the perfect sprockets to positively drive mesh belting. Sprockets are available in a variety of sizes but special size sprockets may be manufactured to meet a customer’s needs. 

Positive drive provides true belt travel and minimum terminal diameters allow close transfer of product onto and off belt. Sprockets are bored oversize to allow lateral movement on the shaft compensating for changes in belt width due to temperature.

Nose Roll Sizing

The minimum recommended nose roll diameter for the Cleatrac® belts is 0.63" (15.9mm) for the CTB 30, 42, 48, and 60 mesh belts. Generally, use of nose rolls is not recommended with CTB 18 mesh belts.

Exception: If the application has a conveyor end-to-end distance of 10' (3 m) or less and the belt fits loosely around the conveyor, the minimum nose roll diameter may be decreased as follows:

System Requirements

Application Notes

  • UHMW material type components have a 150°F (66°C) maximum operation temperature.
  • Molded acetal material type components have a 180°F (82°C) maximum operation temperature.

Tunnel Freezers

Use with caution as ice and snow accumulates in mesh opening or on the drive components, prohibiting sprocket teeth engagement.  Install a rotary brush, or similar cleaning method, near sprocket location to minimize debris.

Soft Dough Products

Use with caution as debris may accumulate in mesh openings or on the drive components, prohibiting sprocket teeth engagement. Install a rotary brush, or similar cleaning method, near sprocket location to minimize debris.

Elevated Temperatures

Thermal expansion of the belt width may adversely affect sprocket engagement with the belt openings.  If this is evident when the belt reaches application temperature, lock only the middle third of the sprockets onto the shaft so the outer sprockets can 'float' along the shaft, allowing for thermal expansion and contraction of the belt. Keep in mind that the shaft will have to be kept clean to allow sprockets to 'float'. For flour-based products in elevated temperatures, arrange the drive configuration such that a shield prevents debris from accumulating on the shaft and drive components.

Multiple Belts Driven by Common Drive Shaft

When two or more belts are driven on a common drive shaft and product alignment is critical, Ashworth Bros., Inc., must be notified at time of the purchase order is generated so that the belts will be matched. Slight differences in belt pitch can affect the alignment of the product over longer conveyor runs (typically 10ft (3m) or greater).  Replacement belts for these applications require that the order reference previous purchase orders.

Number of Sprockets

The minimum number of sprockets per shaft (x) can be calculated based on the following formula:

X = Belt Width / (A + B)

Where:

A = maximum allowable spacing between sprockets

B = overall sprocket width

Fractional values should be reounded up to the next whole number.

The Sprocket is Equally as Important as the Belt!

Manufactured in either UHMW polyethylene or T303 stainless steel, Cleatrac uses the perfect sprockets to positively drive mesh belting. Sprockets are available in a variety of sizes but special size sprockets may be manufactured to meet a customer’s needs. 

Positive drive provides true belt travel and minimum terminal diameters allow close transfer of product onto and off belt. Sprockets are bored oversize to allow lateral movement on the shaft compensating for changes in belt width due to temperature.
