TWO DESIGN OPTIONS FOR SPIRALS:
OUTRUNNER SPIRAL:
The original Span Tech Spiral design! The Outrunner Spiral has been tried and tested for decades and proven itself as a highly effective conveyor option for vertical product handling. Its robust and durable design makes it perfect for larger products that need to dwell, cure or proof in the production process.
SPIRAL 2.0:
The new Spiral 2.0 from Span Tech is designed with both versatility and cost efficiency in mind, making it an ideal solution for industries ranging from food and beverage to pharmaceuticals, packaging, and beyond.

“It made our life a whole lot simpler and easier” when speaking about EZGUIDE Adjustable Guiderail
SpanTech’s EZGuide rail system has greatly improved change over times on our bottle filling line. We fill a wide range of bottle sizes and styles. The EZGuide system makes it easier and quicker to adjust between larger and smaller containers. One great feature is the lack of protruding rods from the sides of the conveyors. We are looking at installing this rail system on more filling lines in the near future.
I feel like Span Tech offered us more diversity, custom conveyors, especially for the products that we run and how we run them.
