Ashworth Bros., Inc., a specialist in conveyor systems, has launched a new bed liner for can washers that can extend the service life of conveyor belts by up to 12 years. The company indicates that this solution is beginning to gain acceptance within the packaging industry.
The liner eliminates metal-on-metal contact between the belt and the metal bed, reducing friction and wear. It is manufactured using engineered plastics resistant to chemicals, high temperatures, and abrasion, ensuring a more durable and reliable operation.
In addition to extending belt life, the system offers significant maintenance savings and minimizes the need for frequent replacement of critical components, improving efficiency and reducing costs for beverage manufacturers.
Ashworth positions this development as an innovative solution to optimize the production and maintenance of can washers, reinforcing its leadership in conveyor technology for the metal packaging industry.
