Winchester/VA. Ashworth has begun production of their eye-link belt at their US manufacturing facility in Winchester, VA. Eye-link belting, long favored by European processors, has an extensive history of production by Ashworth at their facility in the Netherlands. The introduction of Ashworth Eye-Link into the US belting market gives US customers and facilities the chance to employ these belts and achieve the benefits of cleanliness, durability and utility that European customers have long enjoyed.

Ashworth's Eye-Link belts are lightweight, positively driven, straight running conveyor belts that feature an inherently strong design that naturally tracks straight. Eye-links make up the flat, even surface for smooth product conveyance, and the overall construction provides a rigid structure that resists side-to-side deflection while enabling the belt to handle thousands of pounds of tension. Ashworth Eye-Link belts are positively-driven by rollers, sprockets or a chain edge. Our longest-lasting design, the roller drive system, uses grooved rollers to positively engage the belt across its entire width to increase tension capabilities and drastically increase the life of the belt.

Suited for a wide range of applications, Ashworth Eye-Link belts are available in numerous configurations of pitch spacing, wire diameter, and mesh designs that range from being very open for maximum cleanability to very tight for small product conveyance. Additionally, numerous options are available such as cross flights, side plates, chain edges, and additional bar links for increased strength. For decades processors have utilized Ashworth Eye-Link belts in dryers, fryers, baking ovens, cooling and freezing tunnels, blanching machines, pasteurization tunnels for breweries and the canning industry, and industrial washing and drying tunnels.
