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.

 

Leading Edge® Performance Grid Specifications

Belt Pitch: 1" (25.4 mm) nominal
Materials: Stainless steel throughout
Belt Turning Radius: 2.2 x belt width
Special Construction: Integral side plate/link for product retention

Superior design and construction deliver increased service life:

  • Available in a rod-only design or with a variety of spring temper stainless steel mesh overlays.
  • Overall width up to 52 inches.
  • Travels at speeds of 240 feet per minute and higher.
  • Tangential tension rating of at least 450 lbs.
  • Double compression welds increase belt strength and minimizes weld fatigue and breakage.
  • Flattened, oblong (.192″ x .226″) high-tensile crimped rods ensure that belts run flat and true.
  • Designed to eliminate belt tenting, rod bending and rod racking.
  • Design prevents system jam-ups, excessive belt tension and early belt failure.
