Case Study: COBE BCT boosts production efficiency with Span Tech custom conveyors

COBE BCT boosts production with SpanTech and 13,900+ hours of chain runtime

COBE BCT, a medical equipment manufacturer, faced challenges with slow production rates and significant ergonomic problems in their assembly process for apheresis kits. Their existing system caused operator fatigue and lacked efficiency. Seeking an innovative partner, they engaged Span Tech to design a custom conveyor solution that could operate within their clean room environment.

Span Tech implemented a custom conveyor system using their Designer System and MonoSpan conveyors. The revolutionary design featured tilted pallets for improved operator ergonomics and tightly curved conveyors to maximize floor space. The solution drastically reduced cycle times, increased both productivity and quality, and nearly eliminated unplanned downtime. The conveyors accumulated over 13,900 hours of run-time without chain replacement, demonstrating exceptional reliability and a minimal annual maintenance cost for COBE BCT.
