A SpanTech Case Study
Rich Products Corporation, a major family-owned frozen food manufacturer, required durable and reliable conveyor systems capable of handling a high volume of diverse food products in their facilities. The challenge was to find a long-term material handling solution that would minimize maintenance and downtime. SpanTech provided custom conveyors and powered transfers to meet this need.
SpanTech implemented a conveyor system that included inclines, declines, horizontal bends, and diverts to transport cake pans and depanned cakes. The solution proved to be exceptionally long-lasting, with an inspection in 2008 confirming that equipment installed since 1994 was still running on its original chains and was capable of continuing for many more years. This resulted in major cost savings for Rich Products Corporation due to minimal maintenance and little to no downtime, showcasing the enduring reliability of SpanTech's systems.
