The balance knitting net (including reinforced types) driven by sprockets, patented by Ashworth in 1988 and spread worldwide.
In 1988, we obtained a patent and subsequently provided manufacturing technology licenses to domestic manufacturers in Japan, contributing to the development of the domestic market. • The extremely compact nose bar allows for transport at a minimum distance of 5.1mm, reducing product loss rates. • The precisely woven mesh responds stably to changes in ambient temperature, ensuring accurate transport of products. • The combination of highly durable stainless steel belts and ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene sprockets (stainless steel options are also available) guarantees a long lifespan while minimizing maintenance time compared to single-layer products and those from other companies. • The balanced woven design makes cleaning and disinfection easy, which can also reduce associated costs. • We can provide sprockets, shafts, support bearings, and filler rolls with stock items that meet industry-standard widths (please refer to the chart).
