their own axis as
well as on a common axis, and the speed of each can be
varied independent of the other. The
mixer is available in many sizes from a
½-gal laboratory unit to a 750-gal production model. The unit shown was designed for vacuum operation, includes

BAKING & SNACK / August 2009

PLASTIC SPIRAL BELTS
Ashworth's Advantage belts have
been tested and proven to have the
greatest airflow of all plastic spiral belts.
Testing proves the belts perform with
up to 370% less pressure drop than the
leading competitors' plastic belts. The

lower air pressure drop increases a spiral system's overall efficiency, decreasing dwell times and increasing the efficiency of evaporator fans. Ashworth's
unique belt design and construction
incorporates stainless-steel rods, as opposed to pliable plastic rods, to provide
the strength needed to increase the
open area of the plastic mesh. Cleaning characteristics are also improved.
Belts are available with turn radii of 1.5
or larger and are designed to operate
in harsh environments as low as -50°F
or as high as 180°F. Phone (866) 2041414; Web www.ashworth.com

CONVEYOR BELTING
W i r e
Belt Co.'s
Flat-Flex
XT belting
provides extra strength
and
support for longer belt life. XT belts are
designed with unique spaces that
increases the number of "z-bend"
joints, allowing XT to handle heavier loads. Similar to all Flat-Flex
style belts, XT offers lower belt mass
than competitive style belts, which
means lower power consumption,
faster processing and more product
throughput. Phone (603) 644-2500;
