Surface Options
Which belt surface option best meets your needs?
Nub Top
The ThermoDrive Nub Top belt surface provides superior product control to help prevent product loss and carry-over. It’s especially well suited for slippery products, sticky products, and moderate or steep inclines. By trapping air underneath the product, Nub Top belts enable improved release for bulk products like raw potato fries and ground beef patties.
Ribbed V-Top
The ThermoDrive Ribbed V-Top belt allows you to elevate bulk product, without flights, on inclines with angles up to 30 degrees. Suitable for small, delicate products like frozen berries or pizza toppings, its design helps decrease lost or damaged products by preventing them from sliding or rolling back.
