LOW PROFILE IDLER
Low Profile Idlers Can Eliminate the Need for External Transfers
In today’s fast-paced manufacturing and distribution environments, efficiency is paramount. Span Tech’s Low Profile Idler is an innovative solution designed to enhance your conveyor system’s performance by reducing transfer gaps and accommodating tight spaces, ensuring smooth and reliable product handling.
This slim-design idler can eliminate the need for transfer devices at the conveyor infeed or discharge. It moves product as small as 4 1/2 inches without stalling or using a transfer bridge. Existing conveyors can be directly retrofitted with the Low Profile Idler – if your product changes, your conveyors can change with it.

“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.

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.
