Omni-Pro 150

Ashworth Bros., Inc. has introduced a 1½-inch pitch Omni-Pro® link to extend the Omni-Pro® line of spiral/turn-curve conveyor belts. The 1½-inch pitch Omni-Pro 150 retains the same design features that allow the belt to minimize cage bar wear, maintenance costs and downtime in your most demanding high-tension spiral applications. “Expanding the Omni-Pro® line reflects Ashworth’s commitment to meet today’s processing demands,” comments Marty Tabaka, Ashworth’s Sales Director. He continues, “Now everyone who has relied on the trusted performance of Omni-Grid can benefit from the advantages of Omni-Pro®.”

Omni-Pro® is one of the strongest belts on the market today and the Omni-Pro 150 withstands spiral/turn-curve tensions of 400 pounds (136 kg) for 100,000 cycles vs. competing belts that rate for 50,000 cycles. The increased strength of the Omni-Pro® comes from the new 360° buttonless weld technology utilizing a “zero tension” design which allows a higher load bearing capacity. Unlike a traditional bridge weld, the 360° buttonless weld is free from surface imperfections and crevices which improves hygienic characteristics by eliminating the possibility of bacteria entrapments. Omni-Pro’s state-of-the-art link design includes a patented “protrusion leg” preventing welds from contacting spiral cage bars and permits the belt to run smoother with less system wear. Each link is formed with a patented coining process to prevent break-in wear, reducing belt elongation and increasing belt life. Turn ratios range from 1.6 to 2.5 and belt widths are available in even widths from 24 to 60 inches.
