Leading Edge® Performance Grid & Sprockets

- Wider belt widths
- Faster processing speeds
- Stronger and more durable
Leading Edge® Performance Grid belts were designed by Cambridge to process and move baked goods, meats, poultry, fish and prepared foods of all kinds. This belt’s versatility allows it to be used in a wide variety of light- and heavy-duty applications including heating, cooling, proofing and freezing at sustained speeds up to 240 feet per minute.
Available in a standard rod-only design or with spring temper stainless steel mesh overlay, Leading Edge Performance Grid belts allow exceptional flexibility around turns, yet maintain high levels of stability and performance. The pilot wear mark assures proper alignment of the rods and links, which causes the belt to run “square” and resist racking. They’re easy to clean and are available in standard (2.2) radius designs.
