Need to split product flow while maintaining product pitch? It’s what we designed our high-speed switch to do, and at a speed that can’t be overlooked. We currently have high-speed switch conveyors splitting product flow at up to 275 fpm. Products are transferred along by a series of carriers which are supported by guide rods. Everything is powered by a pair of MonoSpan conveyor chains. Product flow can be split evenly (1 lane to 2, 2 lanes to 3, etc.) or can be programmed to divert a product whenever you need it!
At Span Tech, we are committed to delivering innovative conveyor solutions that enhance productivity, efficiency, and reliability in manufacturing and processing environments. Our High-Speed Switch Conveyors exemplify our dedication to quality and innovation, offering a versatile and efficient solution for high-speed sorting and product flow management. When you choose Span Tech, you’re investing in a conveyor system designed to provide consistent, high-performance results tailored to your specific needs.

“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.
