Advantages
Where can ThermoDrive trough belts deliver value for you?
Product Containment
ThermoDrive trough solutions help prevent product loss by ensuring that bulk products like liquids, powders, and unstable products are consistently, reliably contained. Available in natural, U, or V configurations, these belts deliver total product containment with no need for fixed sidewalls, which means fewer accessories and simpler cleaning on your belt.

Inclines
Elevating bulk product while minimizing product loss or carry-over is a major challenge. ThermoDrive trough belts help you optimize incline conveyance with belt-surface profiles that provide better control on your products, eliminating the need for flights in many applications. Incline trough belts can be designed either with or without flights and are compatible with scrapers and other accessories.
Retrofits
Retrofits are often complex, expensive, and time consuming. The ThermoDrive Trough Retrofit Set provides a fast, simple, cost-effective method for converting your existing troughed conveyors to ThermoDrive technology. Retrofits can be performed in less than day, with remote support as needed.
