Curved Conveyor Systems
Optimize the Space You Have
Span Tech Standard Curved Conveyors optimize space and streamline production flow by enabling smooth directional changes without disrupting operations. Curved conveyor systems are ideal for industries requiring precision and flexibility, these conveyors handle tight spaces while maintaining product orientation during turns. With a tight turning radius, they are suited for food-grade, washdown, and manufacturing environments.
Made from durable materials like stainless, powder-coated steel, and anodized aluminum, each modular curve conveyor is customized to fit your facility's layout, ensuring optimal performance even in space-constrained areas.

Standard Curved Conveyor Features & Benefits
Smooth Precise Curves
Versatile Curve Angles
Durable Construction
Built with stainless steel, powder-coated steel, or anodized aluminum framing, the Standard Curved Conveyor withstands washdown, food-grade, and heavy manufacturing environments without sacrificing performance.
Seamless Integration with other Equipment
Modular components allow the Standard Curved Conveyor to connect directly with existing Span Tech conveyors, guide rails, and third-party machinery, minimizing changeover time on the line.
Modular & Customizable Design
Curve angle, framing material, and chain width can all be configured to match your facility's layout, so the conveyor is built around your process rather than the other way around.

FAQs About Span Tech's Curved Conveyor Systems
Are Curved Conveyors Customizable for Specific Industry Needs?
What Are the Maintenance Requirements for Curved Conveyors?
Span Tech's curved conveyors are built for low maintenance. Routine care comes down to periodically inspecting chain tension and wear, checking guide rails and wear strips for buildup or damage, and confirming drive and idler alignment. Because the modular chain is designed to run without traditional lubrication, washdown and food-grade lines can be cleaned on a standard sanitation schedule without extra downtime. Span Tech's Maintenance Videos and Troubleshooting resources walk through the specific inspection points for each configuration.
Can Curving Conveyors Be Integrated With Existing Conveyor Systems?
Yes. The modular design of our curved conveyors is built to connect with existing Span Tech conveyors as well as third-party equipment already on your line. Standard interfaces at drives, idlers, and transfer points mean a curved section can usually be added to an existing layout without a full line redesign, and framing can be matched to the rest of the system.
What Is the Minimum Turning Radius for a Curved Conveyor?
The absolute minimum centerline radius is 18.0 inches for aluminum framing and 21.0 inches for steel framing. Tighter radii are possible depending on chain width and product requirements — talk to a Span Tech engineer about your specific layout.
How Do I Know What Curve Angle I Need?
Curve angles range from a gentle 30 degrees to a full 180-degree turn, so the layout is built around your facility rather than a fixed catalog size. Share your floor plan and product specs with a Span Tech engineer to get a recommended configuration.
“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.
