The spur conveyor is mainly characterized because it is straight, that is, it cannot make sharp curves during the run, normally it has no vertical inclination but a slight inclination can be used if necessary as long as there is no risk of the trays, boxes or bottles tipping over or falling. In addition, a great advantage is that it can be designed to withstand high temperatures during the production process.
