Spiral Lift at Wine & Spirits Distribution Center in Florida
In the summer of 2009, we partnered with our Systems Integrator, W & H Systems of Carlstadt, New Jersey, to implement the 16th of our new class of High Capacity spiral conveyors.
W & H’s design at Premier Beverage’s new 550,000 square foot distribution center in Tampa, Florida utilizes the spiral as an “early-out” incline, transporting completed case picks of wine and spirits from the first level to a sorter on the third level.
The spiral adds to overall picking efficiencies by routing completed orders from the express pick zone directly to the sortation system, rather than transporting them through the second level.
The spiral saves the space and increased cost of turn-key implementation of the more common series of inclines and curves required to make the 25 foot elevation change required. The spiral is our model HC1700-600 and is 27 feet tall and runs at 150 feet per minute.
Congratulations to W & H Systems on another successful project, taking advantage of the latest spiral technology available from Ryson International.

Ryson High Capacity Mass Flow Spiral Conveyor
Last week Ryson had a FAT (Factory Acceptance Test) with one of our new high capacity mass flow spirals that is shipping to a Coca-Cola bottling plant in Niles, IL. The spiral features our 16″ mass flow slats with a capacity of up to 1200 bottles or cans per minute.
This impressive machine is a down stainless steel spiral with 8 turns feeding in at 16′-7″ and out at 4’0″. The mass flow spiral is equipped with extended in and our feed tangents to facilitate a smooth side transfer to and from the external conveyors.
The Ryson Mass Flow Spirals are based on the already proven and reliable Ryson Spiral Conveyor technology. Click here to download our Mass Flow Product Spotlight.

Download the Ryson Spiral Integration Guide
Ryson has developed a convenient quick reference guide for integrators on our website. The integrator’s guide can be used to familiarize oneself with a Ryson Spiral Conveyor and answer common questions when it comes time to integrate a spiral with an over-all system.
Ryson takes customer service and support seriously and this is an example of how we proactively try to ensure a smooth startup for you. You can also download the Integration and Maintenance guide here.
