DuraLite® Belts & Sprockets

  • More carrying capacity
  • Improved efficiency
  • Stronger yet lighter weight
  • Easy to clean
  • Food safe

DuraLite belts really pull their weight for you. They deliver greater load-carrying capacity and smoother operating performance, resulting in dramatically fewer breaks or mishaps – thereby reducing plant downtime and service costs.

DuraLite provides the highest strength-to-belt weight ratio on today’s market – twice as strong as rod-only belts – and 35% stronger than standard 1″ x 1″ style belts. Our unique 3″ x 1″ interior mesh chills and freezes foods faster by improving air circulation and drainage, dramatically improving efficiency.

Additionally, a belt that’s up to 40% lighter means less wear on the belt and cage components, thereby saving energy while greatly reducing potential debris.

With turn ratios ranging from 1.0 to 2.8, DuraLite gives you the widest possible array for any one belt construction allowing one style to work for all spiral cage applications. It is easy to clean and food safe, perfect for breads, pies and tarts, pizza, ice cream and other ready-to-eat foods.

Made from stainless steel, the 3″ x 1″ interior mesh provides twice the open area of modular plastic belts. The sanitary materials used in the construction of DuraLite belts make them the food industry’s best choice for food safety and protection.
