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.

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.

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.

Hurricane FlagRyson manufacturing plant survived Hurricane Irene without much incident. Thank you for all your concern, thoughts and well-wishes. Some of our families are still without power, but everyone is OK and we were back to making spirals Monday morning.

We count our blessings that we were so fortunate avoiding the full fury of the storm, and pass our best to anyone still struggling from her effects. Ryson is having a record-brewking year, and are relieved that we are able to continue manufacturing spiral conveyors to keep up with delivery commitments – without missing a beat.

Ryson Spiral Conveyor with Optional Extended Infeed

Ryson Spiral Conveyor with Optional Extended Out-feed

Configuration options of Ryson Spiral’s in and out-feed tangents can provide great layout flexibility.

The Ryson Vertical Spiral Conveyor modular design allows the position and length of the in-feed tangent on up spirals and the out-feed tangent on down spirals to meet custom layout requirements. This provides great layout felxibility in tight spaces and accomodate conveyor line centerline offsets.

Extending the tangents can also eliminate short conveyor sections between the spiral and other system components. The extended tangent is powered by the spiral drive, and saves in the cost of integration and controls. Ryson’s proprietary design allows the extension to operate in any direction from the spiral.

This week Ryson is shipping a down spiral to a major beverage company with a curved extended out-feed which efficiently accommodates a centerline offset in a reconfigured packaging line. The integrator on this project is Foth Production Solutions.

Ryson Spiral  Extended in-feed configurations

The position and length of the in-feed tangent on up spirals and out-feed tangent on down spirals can be customized to meet specific layout requirements.

 

You can download a Ryson Size and Model Chart on www.ryson.com and you can specify any unique tangent requirements.

Ryson Mass Flow FAT

Factory Testing a new High Capacity Mass Flow Spiral Conveyor with lightweight aluminum bottles

An optional Factory Acceptance Test (FAT) is available to all our customers. Ryson always runs and tests each spiral before shipping from our Virginia manufacturing plant, but customers often want assurance that their products are handled as required on our spirals before leaving our factory.  Since travel to observe this isn’t always a viable option, Ryson is happy to videotape and photograph the test and post the video securely via the internet. Many of our customers take advantage of this time and money saving resource.

This week  a 1900-400 High Capacity Mass Flow Spiral Conveyor is shipping out to MillerCoors in Golden Colorado. The Spiral will lowerate their new aluminum bottles from de-palletizing to the filler. The customer was concerned about the stability and handling of the product since the bottles are tall and lightweight. They shipped us a skid-full so we could test the flow and stability of the product before final approval and shipping.

View a portion of the video we produced for the customer and Sidel, the integrator on this project. If you have any question about how Ryson could set up a video test for you, please give us a call at 757-898-1350 or visit www.ryson.com.
