Ryson Custom Engineered Extended Infeed to minimize production layout

Every Ryson Spiral Conveyor is custom built. Infeed and discharge elevations and angle of incline/decline are taken into account when our engineering team starts to design each spiral. Other factors, including load weight and size are also taken into consideration. Our Spiral team works closely with our customers and integrators to ensure a smooth installation and product flow during operation.

Our manufacturing plant recently shipped a stainless steel – hybrid wash-down – spiral conveyor with a custom engineered extended infeed. Our Integrator  - Kaufman Engineered Systems – needed to align the Ryson Spiral Conveyor into their line layout.  We were able to save them the expense of having to utilize a separate short section of powered conveyor to connect to their packer.

This concept also reduces energy consumption and simplifies integration, because the extended section is driven by the spiral’s drive motor. The spiral conveyors will be handling cases of yogurt coming out of a packer at a name brand yogurt facility.

If you have a project that could benefit from the small footprint of a Ryson Spiral Conveyor, you can find out more information at www.ryson.com. If you fill out the get more information form, our sales team with promptly follow up with you.

Recently our Service Manager traveled to St. John’s Newfoundland to provide start-up assistance on a Ryson Spiral delivered to the Canadian Postal Service. The Engineer was so satisfied with the service, he wrote this telling commentary: “Thanks once again for the excellent support on the Ryson spiral this weekend. You went well above and beyond. Thanks for all the extra help that you provided with the Hytrol as well. Looking forward to seeing your plc code….” Ronald S. Power, Officer Postal Systems Engineering RE&T Atlantic.

One of the most frequent service related questions we receive is “how do we shorten the chain?” During operation, the chain in the spiral conveyor will stretch. Provisions are made for a fast and easy chain shortening method. We have a detailed step-by-step document to help you with our fast and easy chain shortening method. If you suspect that your spiral may need a chain adjustment, you can download this document, or read more about it online the the service section of the ryson website. If you have any questions or concerns with any of your Ryson Equipment, please don’t hesitate to contact our dedicated service department.

Ryson Spiral Conveyor with Additional Input

Multiple entry spirals allow more than one production line to use a single spiral

Ryson has always been about saving space by elevating products in a smaller footprint than conventional methods. That’s been taken to a new level with our new multi-infeed spirals.

This week, we shipped two of our high capacity 400 spirals (16” wide slat surface) to a west coast food and beverage manufacturer, who utilized an over/under conveyor feeding the spirals at separate elevations. This design not only allows for one less spiral in each system, it also accommodated a more compact conveyor layout in the production area. The result is considerable savings in space and equipment cost.

A video factory acceptance test was performed for our integrator partners on this job: Nercon Engineering & Mfg. Co. of Oshkosh, Wisconsin. If you would like additional information on the Ryson Spiral Conveyors, or how our Multi-Infeed spiral can do the work of many, contact us, or visit our website: www.ryson.com.

Every Ryson Spiral Conveyor is Custom Built to Customer Application Requirements

Every Ryson Spiral Conveyor is made to Order.

Every Ryson spiral is made to order to fit your specific application. Variables such as change in elevation, load size and stability, conveying speed, in and out feed angles, throughput volume, weight and orientation requirements are all considered when our proposal team comes up with spiral solutions and pricing. 

Ryson has six standard slat widths ranging from 8″ to 26″. The spiral footprint depends on the width of the slat. Slat widths take your product size and or volume requirements into consideration. The angle of incline or decline depends on two major variables – the change in elevation required and the unit stability. Naturally a stable product with a low center of gravity can traverse at a greater angle.

The modular design of the Ryson Spiral Conveyors enables any in-feed and out-feed tangent, allowing you to fit a vertical lift spiral into your line with the smallest possible footprint. Any Ryson Vertical Spiral can be designed to go up or down and can optionally be made reversible. We also work closely with our integrators and offer other options, including special safety considerations, controls, pre-wiring and other options to facilitate integration. All Ryson Spirals are available in powder coated carbon steel (any RAL color), stainless steel, washdown and freezer versions.

Please check out our RFQ form for more information about our spiral conveyors. If you fill in the application specifics, our Ryson proposal team will quickly reply with a spiral recommendation and pricing. You can read more about The Ryson Spiral Conveyors on www.ryson.com.

Mass Flow With Lane Divider

High Capacity Mass Flow Spiral Conveyor With Lane Divider to Run Two Production Lines at the Same Time

This week we shipped one of our new high capacity mass flow spiral conveyors with 20″ wide slats to Lindy’s Italian Ice’s production facility in North Carolina. The spiral will convey cups of Italian Ice from a spiral freezer down to the floor level. 

This application is interesting in that the cups come out of the freezer with two different flavors at the same time, which need to be conveyed in separate lanes. The two lanes are fed on to the spirals’s extended infeed which is equipped with a center lane divider ensuring separation of the two flavors in the spiral decline. The products are then discharged from  both sides of the spiral’s extended outfeed and conveyed to separate cartoners.

This spiral freezer and associated mass flow vertical conveyor enabled the customer to increase the production rate drastically. By using 2 lanes within one Ryson Spiral they also significantly reduced the cost of equipment.

Because of the size of the 2300-500 model high capacity spiral a stepped-deck flatbed trailer was used to ship the spiral. One of our Yorktown-based technicians met the trailer at it’s destination to supervise the unloading and set-up of the spiral, which took a day and a half.

The 20″ wide  slat mass flow model can handle capacities up to 2,000 bottle cans or jars per minute are also available in powder coated carbon steel, stainless steel and washdown versions. For more information on Ryson’s High Capacity Mass Flow Spiral Conveyor, please visit www.ryson.com. Our integration partner on this project was Garvey Corporation.

Installing Tall High Capacity Spiral

Installing a tall Ryson High Capacity Spiral Conveyor in a distribution center in Australia.

Four high capacity spiral conveyors are currently being installed in a large distribution warehouse for electronic products in Austrailia. These spiral elevators will service several order picking levels. The Tallest spiral feeds in product at 2′ – 6″ and discharges at 29′ – 0″. The Ryson High Capacity Spiral Conveyors easily handle the tall height requirements with only one drive. The 24″ wide slats will be able to handle loads with variable sizes and weights. There is also an intermediate high-speed induction conveyor at the 12′ – 6″ elevation to accommodate an additional order picking level with the same spiral conveyor unit. The induction conveyor adds additional operational flexibility and reduces the number of vertical conveyors required.

Two-Ryson-Spirals The Ryson Spirals are very easy to install and most spirals are shipped in one piece, pre-tested which drastically reduces the time and cost of installation.  These spirals were loaded fully assembled into 40′ containers and shipped as ocean freight to Australia. A member of our service team traveled down under to supervise the installation and provide maintenance training to ensure the longevity of the vertical conveyors. The integrator on this project is Bastian Material Handling.
