Hygiene Benefits

These belts are built with sanitation in mind—Ashworth “builds in hygiene.” Their patented weld process delivers a corrosion-resistant, mechanically smooth, and stable belt surface that's easy to clean, improves strength, reduces wear, and enhances belt life by eliminating bacterial harborage zones/

Temperature Performance

Ashworth hybrid plastic belts (e.g., Advantage®, Omni Lite®) operate reliably across extreme temperature ranges, from as low as –58°F (–50°C) up to 220°F (104°C)—making them ideal for freezing, spiraling, and demanding environments. Plastic modular belts also offer excellent thermal resilience and product release during thermal cycles and transfers.

Ashworth Plastic Conveyor Belt Product Range

Advantage® Hybrid Belting

The Advantage® Hybrid Belt combines the strength and stability of stainless steel with the hygienic, non-stick surface of plastic modules. Its patented open-grid design maximizes airflow for faster cooling, freezing, and proofing while ensuring easy product release to prevent sticking and product damage. This makes it ideal for high-sanitation food processing environments such as bakery proofers, blast freezers, and spiral coolers. With operating ranges from sub-zero to low heat, Advantage® delivers consistent belt tracking, reduced maintenance, and extended belt life.

SpiralSurf® Belts

SpiralSurf® belts are engineered for lotension spiral conveyors, turn-curve systems, and straight-run applications. Their low-tension, lightweight construction reduces drive power requirements and minimizes wear on both the belt and conveyor components. The open-grid surface allows excellent air circulation, making them well-suited for proofing, cooling, and freezing in bakery and protein processing environments. With their durable polymer construction, SpiralSurf® belts offer excellent resistance to moisture, corrosion, and thermal stress, ensuring consistent performance in demanding production cycles.

ChemGuard® All-Plastic Belts

Built entirely from chemically resistant polymers, ChemGuard® belts are the go-to solution for operations requiring frequent caustic washdowns or exposure to harsh cleaning agents. Their connector-less, rod-free construction eliminates metal contamination risk and removes potential harborage points for bacteria or chemical carryout. This design makes them particularly effective in canning, where strict hygiene and corrosion resistance are essential. ChemGuard® delivers long service life, easy cleaning, and superior sanitation compliance without sacrificing strength or stability.

Prestoflex

Prestoflex® belts are designed for maximum flexibility and rapid maintenance. Their connector-less modular design allows individual sections to be replaced without disassembling the entire belt, reducing downtime and labor costs. Ideal for bottling, packaging, and light-duty food applications, Prestoflex® belts feature a smooth, non-porous surface that resists product buildup and ensures quick, thorough cleaning. Their lightweight composition makes them easy to install, and their open-grid configuration offers excellent drainage for wet applications.

Omni-Lite® Metal-Backed Plastic Belts

The Omni-Lite® belt merges lightweight, low-mass plastic modules with a stainless-steel backing for exceptional strength and load-bearing capacity. This hybrid design is perfect for high-capacity spiral freezers, blast chillers, and heavy-load conveyors where both hygiene and structural integrity are crucial. The plastic surface offers easy product release and is resistant to sticking, while the metal frame ensures dimensional stability and precise belt tracking under continuous operation. Omni-Lite® belts perform reliably across wide temperature ranges and are engineered for long-term durability.
