CONVEYOR DRIVES
OUTRUNNER DRIVE
Conveyor Drive With Top Running Chain Only
Outrunner Drives are used in continuous loop systems, Outrunner Spirals and Spiral 2.0 conveyors. They are placed in the horizontal curves of conveyors. Outrunner Drives are designed with top running chain only, eliminating the need for Span Tech’s standard drive and idler units. The conveyor chain is driven with sprockets that are powered by the gearmotor located below the conveyor running surface. It includes a unique guarded protection system which shuts down power when debris or a broken side link tries to enter the sprocket.

“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.
The sales and service personnel at Span Tech are always very professional and helpful throughout the entire process, from design phase, quoting, order processing and delivery of equipment. Quality equipment, professional service and knowledgeable personnel are why Arr-Tech’s choice for conveyor systems will always be Span Tech.
Paradise Tomato Kitchen has used Span Tech conveyors for our sanitary food pouch conveying systems for many years. These sanitary conveyors have provided the best cost of ownership, or the lowest net present value, of any processing conveyors we have used in our food manufacturing plants. These conveyors are easy to widen, lengthen or design for curves and angles to convey our flexible pouches between unit operations.
The quality of this product speaks for itself. Where the difference lies is in the quality of the organization. The whole Span Tech organization – Sales, Engineering, Service – works to serve customers’ needs, not just sell conveyors.
