Taconic PTFE Contact Grill Belts
High performance nonstick belts for industrial grilling
Taconic PTFE Contact Grill Belts
Product lineup overview
A1121 – Standard economy grade
A1121 is our standard, economy grade 13 mil offering. It provides excellent nonstick release, reliable performance and long service life at an attractive cost, making it a preferred choice for many contact grill applications.
A1085 – Enhanced coating for harsh environments
A1085 offers all the benefits of A1121 with a more robust nonstick coating. This 14 mil product is designed to withstand some of the harshest contact grilling environments thanks in part to its high tear strength, the best of all three products in this lineup.
A1060 – Premium high performance option
A1060 is our top of the line 12 mil product. It combines the best aspects of A1085 and A1121 while adding superior heat transfer and release properties, excellent thermal conductivity and durable anti wicking and staining characteristics for demanding production lines.
