Case Study: Odom’s Tennessee Pride boosts sausage production with Span Tech conveyors

Odom’s Tennessee Pride ramps up sausage production to 5,600 sandwiches per minute with SpanTech

Odom's Tennessee Pride, a major private sausage maker, faced significant material handling challenges due to limited floor space in its Dickson, Tennessee plant. The company needed an efficient method to transport erected boxes from a second-floor storage area down to the ground-level production floor while maintaining a small equipment footprint and low noise levels. They partnered with Span Tech for a custom conveyor solution.

Span Tech designed and installed a system of seven custom conveyor lines, including their Designer System® and wedge conveyors, to transport materials between floors and to various packaging machines. The solution was so successful that Span Tech became Odom's sole supplier for material handling. The new system enabled a combined production capacity of 5,600 sandwiches per minute, resolving the plant's constraints and impressing personnel with its reliability and performance.
