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 High Capacity Vertical Spiral Conveyor

Factory acceptance photo for heavy pales of cat litter on a high capacity spiral conveyor

With a 3600 load capacity the Ryson High Capacity Spiral Conveyors are perfect for vertical conveying of heavy loads. This week we are shipping a high capacity 1700-400 spiral conveyor to handle pails of cat litter weighing 55 lbs each. The spiral also has a custom curved extended infeed to optimize the filling line layout in a very tight production area, eliminating the need for an ancillary “connector” conveyor. This 4 3/4 turn spiral will convey plastic pails from the filling area at floor level to a palletizer on the mezzanine level.

The integrator, Arrowhead Conveyor Systems, realized that the vertical transport of  this kind of  weight  was a perfect application for the Ryson High Capacity Spiral Conveyors. The spiral will ship in once piece after the spiral has been pre-tested and run for 8 hours in our plant.

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.

Ryson Tall Multiple Entry Spiral ConveyorA new 220,000 sq ft addition to the Gildan Activewear’s Eden North Carolina facility houses a ten-aisle, five-level order picking system. Each aisle is equipped with a 34 foot tall Ryson High Capacity Multiple Entry Spiral Conveyor. Each Vertical Spiral Elevator has four intermediate induction conveyors enabling entry from the four elevated picking levels. This new modern facility will greatly improve Gildan’s order picking operation and leave plenty of space for growth.

These high capacity spiral conveyors have 24″ wide slats and operate at 120 fpm. The heavy duty one-inch chain easily handles the load requirements. Only one drive motor is required, resulting in savings in energy, controls and system integration. The outside diameter of the spiral conveyors are 7′ – 10″ and all ten spirals were delivered fully assembled and ready to run.

A special thanks goes to Gildan for being so accommodating and allowing us to document their impressive operation. Visit www.ryson.com to learn more about the Multiple Entry Spiral Conveyors. Download a PDF brochure here.

Tall Ryson Spiral Coneyor

Ryson tests ALL their spirals prior to shipping, even if they don't fit in our building.

All Ryson Spiral Conveyors are shop tested in our manufacturing plant prior to shipping. This includes running them for 8 hours at the customer specified speed. This ensures that when a Ryson Spiral Conveyor arrives on site,  it is ready to run. Most Ryson Spirals are assembled and shipped in one piece, drastically reducing time and cost of installation.

Our manufactuging facility has enough headroom to stand spiral conveyors that are up to 27 feet in height. Taller spirals need to be tested outside. That was the case with one of our High Capacity Spirals we shipped to a customer the other day.

It may seem a little extreme, but it is part of our commitment to quality of product and satisfaction of customer.

Ryson has been busy in 2009 - In addition to having a successful year of production and service, we have added three new specialized spiral conveyors to our arsenal of vertical conveying solutions.

Dual Track Spiral Conveyors: Two tracks operate independently within one spiral structure. Both tracks can go up or down, and can optionally be reversible. This is incredibly useful if space is extremely limited and you need to convey items up and down, handle two streams using the same footprint, or move products to and from multiple levels.

Custom solutions for your vertical conveying challenges - Ryson

Custom solutions for your vertical conveying challenges - Ryson

High Capacity Spiral Lifts: The new Ryson High Capacity Spirals are in response to our customers need to go higher and handle more weight. This is particularly useful in multi-level order picking systems and the beverage industry as cartons of product are getting bigger and bigger – The Ryson High Capacity Spiral conveyors are in a class of their own – Nothing else comes close.

Multiple Entry Spiral Conveyors: Is a solution for multi-tiered product flow that facilitates flow from multiple levels on to one spiral. Multi level order picking systems are a prime candidate for this practical vertical conveying solution.

We are looking forward to 2010 and applying our new machines and concepts to meet more of our customer’s needs. With that, we’d like to wish you the happiest of Holidays and a Fantastic New Year, filled with passion and success for you all!  – The Ryson Spiral Team
