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.

Unique Application for Vertical Mass Flow: 2 lines on one Spiral.

By Spiral-Team High Capacity Spiral Conveyor, Integrators, Mass Flow Spiral Conveyor, Ryson, Ryson News, Specialty Spiral Conveyors No Comments »
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.

High Capacity Spirals Installed in Australia

By Spiral-Team High Capacity Spiral Conveyor, Integrators, Ryson, Ryson News, Specialty Spiral Conveyors No Comments »
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.

Ryson Introduces Latin American Support with Spanish Micro-Sites

By Spiral-Team Integrators, Ryson, Ryson News No Comments »

Ryson Logo for Spanish Micro SiteRyson has enjoyed growth in the Latin American market recently and would like to recognize our international system integrators as a critical part to our success. To help bridge the gap and gain exposure, Ryson has created an all-spanish micro website with two reputable Latin American industrial publications: El Empaque and Reportero Industrial.

These sights are a great asset to Ryson International for two main reasons. The first is that it is a direct way to get Ryson exposure to the Latin segment. The microsite will also take on a support role to our existing customers and integrators, with complete product literature, integration guides and maintenance manuals in spanish. It will also help reinforce Ryson’s commitment to customer service and support.

If you or one of your customers need some Ryson information in Spanish, everything is available at ElEmpaque.com and ReporteoIndustrial.com It’s a great resource to download Ryson Spanish PDFs.

Two Packaging Lines Into One Spiral with Multiple Infeeds

By Spiral-Team High Capacity Spiral Conveyor, Ryson, Ryson News, Specialty Spiral Conveyors No Comments »

Since being introduced to the market some 18 months ago, the Ryson High Capacity Spirals with multiple infeeds have been installed in distribution centers and packaging lines all over North America.  The multiple entry spiral conveyor is truly a viable and cost-effective solution for multi-tiered product flow.

Heavy Duty Multi Infeed Spiral Conveyor

We recently were approached by our OEM integrator, JEM International – of Shawnee, Kansas to elevate 40 lb. paper bags of a powdered pharmaceutical additive from two lines. The first line feeds in at an elevation of 1′ – 6″ and the second line feeds in perpendicular to the first line at an elevation of 2′ – 0″.  The outfeed is at 16′ – 0″. The challenge was that the customer only had space for one spiral conveyor after the filling operation. The Ryson solution included a high capacity spiral conveyor with an additional floor level induction conveyor.

Multiple Entry and High Capacity Spiral Conveyors from Ryson International, Inc.

By Spiral-Team Ryson, Ryson News, Ryson Videos, Specialty Spiral Conveyors, Spiral Conveyor, Trade Shows No Comments »

The Ryson High Capacity Spiral Conveyors are designed in response to our customers’ need to go higher and handle more weight.

These high capacity vertical spirals handle double the capacity of our regular spirals and ship in one piece which will drastically reduce the time and cost of installation. Ryson Spiral Conveyors need less floor space than conventional vertical conveyors and are faster and more reliable than any elevator or lift. The load capacity is 75 lbs. per linear foot of conveyor for speeds up to 200 FPM.  The total weight capacity in the spiral at any one time is 3600 lbs.  Only one drive motor is required, resulting in substantial savings in energy, controls, and system integration.

Multiple Entry Spirals.

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 entering from different levels colliding in the spiral.

Ryson High Capacity Vertical Spiral Conveyors handle double the capacity of our standard spirals and the Multiple Entry Spirals allow loads to enter the spirals from several different elevations, both are perfect for multi-tiered pick modules in warehousing and distribution.
