COMMONLY USED IN THESE INDUSTRIES
Elevate Efficiency with Innovative Spiral Conveyor Solutions
For elevation change with a minimal footprint, spiral conveyor systems are ideal. The cost-effective, compact units are not only strong, but gentle as well. No pressure is applied to the product, so even delicate items can pass through it without damage.
TWO DESIGN OPTIONS FOR SPIRALS:
Outrunner Spiral (The Original Span Tech Spiral)
Span Tech’s Outrunner Spiral Conveyor is a cutting-edge system designed to move products vertically through a spiral configuration with unparalleled efficiency and precision.
Spiral 2.0 (New Sleeker More Economic Design)
The new Spiral 2.0 from Span Tech is designed with both versatility and cost efficiency in mind. Span Tech’s new Spiral design was developed for when the robustness of the standard Outrunner Spiral isn’t necessary and when simple spiral applications can be utilized.

FAQs About Spiral Conveyor Systems
What are spiral conveyors?
A spiral conveyor is a vertical material handling system designed to move products efficiently between multiple elevations while maintaining a compact footprint. Unlike traditional inclined conveyors, a spiral conveyor rotates in a continuous spiral, allowing materials to be transported vertically while saving valuable floor space. It is commonly used in industries like food, beverage, pharmaceutical, e-commerce, and distribution for smooth, efficient product flow.
How does a spiral conveyor work?
A spiral conveyor utilizes a rotating belt that moves products vertically through a continuous spiral path. As the conveyor’s belt rotates, it gently lifts or lowers items depending on the direction of movement. Thanks to its compact and stable design, a spiral conveyor can transport products between floors without applying pressure, making it ideal for delicate or irregularly shaped items. This design maximizes vertical space while ensuring smooth and consistent product flow, no matter the application or industry.
What’s the difference between a helical and spiral conveyor?
Are Spiral Conveyors Customizable for Specific Industry Needs?
Yes, spiral conveyors are highly customizable. They can be tailored to meet specific operational requirements, including varying belt widths, speeds, and materials. This flexibility allows them to be adapted for different types of products and operational needs, ensuring that they fit seamlessly into existing systems and processes.
What Are the Maintenance Requirements for Spiral Conveyors?
Spiral conveyors are designed for low-maintenance operation thanks to their efficient design and fewer moving parts. However, regular maintenance is essential to ensure optimal performance and longevity. Key maintenance steps include:
- Inspect and adjust belt tension to prevent slippage or misalignment.
- Lubricate bearings, drive components, and moving parts to reduce wear.
- Monitor and replace worn parts, such as the chain or drive sprockets, as required.
- Perform routine cleaning to ensure debris doesn't interfere with smooth operation, especially in food-grade applications.
- Schedule regular system inspections to identify and resolve potential issues early.
This proactive care ensures smoother performance, less downtime, and minimal repairs.
Can Spiral Conveyors Be Integrated With Existing Conveyor Systems?
Absolutely. Spiral conveyors can be seamlessly integrated with existing conveyor systems. Their modular design allows for easy incorporation into current material handling setups. This integration capability ensures that spiral conveyors can enhance existing workflows without the need for extensive modifications or overhauls of current systems.
“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.
