Ryson brought the new Multiple Entry Spiral Conveyor to exhibit this year at NA2010. Systems integrators and end users alike were impressed with the design and immediately saw the potential for multi-tiered product flow with a very small footprint.

The Multiple Entry Spirals allow loads to enter the spirals from several different elevations. A new high speed induction conveyor provides controlled spiral entry. The conveyor belts are individually adjustable to match the spiral pitch. Traffic controls are required to prevent loads from different levels colliding in the spiral.

The Ryson spiral can operate bidirectionally and becomes an efficient dynamic accumulation buffer when used in conjunction with a pick-n-place robot.

Ryson Spiral used for dynamic buffering

Ryson Spiral Conveyor used in a Dynamic Buffering System.

In the sample above, two conveyors run side by side and parallel to the spiral in/outfeed conveyor. One conveyor handles products from the filler and the other convey empty cases. A Delta pick-n-place robot located in front of the spiral loads products into the empty cartons or feeds the spiral when needed. The spiral conveyor provides vertical accumulation and buffers any imbalances in the flow of products or supply of cartons. The spiral is reversible and accumulates products during over-supply and purges during times of under-supply, where the robot will load the cartons directly from the spiral. This dynamic buffering system compensates for intermittent operating interruptions and significantly improves overall production efficiency.

Ryson Spiral Conveyor at Booth at NA2010

Ryson Booth at NA2010

The North American Material Handling and Logistics show was a great showing for Ryson. We had a pime booth location, right at the entrance and generated a lot of buzz even before the attendees were allowed to enter in the mornings. Counltess times “are you giving rides on your spiral” was heard, but it was hard for someone not to notice our large red high capacity spiral running as you passed bye.

The show was also a great opportunity for Ryson to reach out to our integrators and customers. Existing customers and prospects alike got a first hand demonstration of our latest innovations and models. The trade shows are one of the best ways to connect with our customers, and reaffirm that Ryson Spirals are on the cutting edge of vertical transportation.

It is also flattering when an existing customer, comes up to us just to thank us for a job well done.

If we didn’t see you in Cleveland, hope to see you at the next show.
