Ryson Mass Flow Vertical ConveyorThe Ryson Mass Flow Spiral Conveyors are gaining acceptance in the bottling industry. It’s ability to handle cans, jars and bottles – full and empty, makes it a versatile machine perfect for the food and beverage industry.

The design is based on the already proven Ryson Spiral technology and feature extended in and outfeed conveyor to enable smooth side transfer to and from external conveyors. The standard slat width for the High Capacity Mass Flow Spirals are 12”, 16” and 20” with capacities of up to 800, 1,200 2,000 units per minute respectively. The spirals are available in powder coated carbon steel, stainless steel and washdown versions.

Below is a video of a stainless steel high capacity mass flow spiral conveyor with 16″ wide slats. running a shop test with 12 oz empty glass bottles at a rate of 1,200 bottles per minute. This 11 1/2 turn spiral conveyor has an elevation change of 17′ – 0″ with a decline angle of 4.2 degrees. A spiral with this configuration could easily bring empty bottles from a de-palletizer to a high speed filler.

tall ryson Stainless wash-down SpiralA 22 foot tall stainless steel washdown Ryson Spiral Conveyor is in the process of being installed at a major food manufacturer in Michigan. The spiral is 8 1/4 turns and will convey single serve microwavable meals down from a spiral freezer in a single file to a packaging line at floor-level.

This application offers substantial savings compared to conventional spiral freezer methods. Products are conveyed down to floor level on the outside the freezer. This design allows the cost savings of both a smaller freezer and only having to use one up spiral freezer. Traditionally, a larger freezer would be required to house a a pair of the more expensive freezer spirals.

All Ryson Spiral Conveyors are made to order and are manufactured in a wide range of sizes and configurations. All our vertical conveyors can operate up and/or down in a clockwise or counterclockwise rotation. All Ryson Spirals are available in powder coated carbon steel, stainless steel, washdown, stainless hybrid and freezer versions.

The integrator on this project is Selectpack out of Michigan.
