Reliability and Predictability

Simplified Operation

With no take-up or tensioning devices to manage, the patented ThermoDrive tensionless belt system offers simple and reliable conveyance, especially compared to tension-driven belts. Only ThermoDrive technology allows food processors to drive a loose belt reliably and predictably on a conveyor, resulting in reduced mistracking and improved belt life.
