Conveyors Span Tech supplies conveyors for a variety of applications, including sorting and merging, moving products to different levels within a plant, and transferring and gathering products. It says the technologies can help customers increase their production capacity, streamline operations, expand R&D and testing operations, and better manage their inventory.
What’s new? Sheet metal supports, in lieu of the traditional tubular conveyor supports, which require complex welding and higher material costs, and come with sanitation challenges. Compatible with all standard Span Tech conveyor widths and chain types, the sheet metal supports can be bolted onto drive, bed or idler frames, allowing for easy conversion between configurations.
Benefits Faster lead times, and improved cost-effectiveness and hygiene. The new supports offer a streamlined design option to complement standard conveyor tubing supports. Unlike tubular supports, which have internal voids that trap moisture and bacteria, Span Tech’s sheet metal supports feature a one-piece design that is easier to clean and more resistant to contamination. According to the company, they are strong and durable, eliminate unnecessary fabrication steps and reduce material waste.
