High-Speed Switch

Need to split product flow while maintaining product pitch? That is what SpanTech's High-Speed Switch is designed to do, and at a speed that can’t be overlooked. SpanTech has high-speed switches splitting product flow at up to 200 fpm.

Product is transferred along a series of sliding carriers, each of which slides freely on a pair of stainless steel carrier rods. Carrier rods are supported between and driven by a pair of our MonoSpan conveyor chains.

Once the flow is split, the product pitch in each output lane will be two times the original pitch for a 1-to-2 lane switch, three times the original pitch for a 1-to-3 lane switch, etc.

Features:

• Many configurations are possible, including 2-to-4 lane switching, converging and sorting applications
• The product will exit at with the same orientation at which it entered
• Rated for continuous, 24 hours/day operation
• Designed for rigid or bagged (not bulk) product
• Lane divider/merge designed to split a flow of products into two, three, or four lanes of output while maintaining product pitch.
• Product flow can be split at high speeds — Span Tech systems are currently in place successfully running at over 200 fpm.
• Many configurations are possible, including 2-to-4 lane switching, sorting applications, and more.
• 50/50 split achievable without the use of logic components.
