Ryson International always welcomes our system integrators to bring their clients to our manufacturing plant to perform final inspections (FAT- Factory Acceptance Test). It is another step we take to ensure customer satisfaction and confidence in our product.

Factory Acceptance Test of a New Ryson Spiral Conveyor

Ryson Service Manager and Customer Look over a New Spiral Before Final Shipment

This week we hosted Kimberly-Clark for a pre-shipment inspection of two new spiral conveyors handling bundles of diapers. Ryson’s spiral lifts are perfectly suited to handle fragile packaging, but often the customer wants to see the handling first-hand. The visit also allowed their engineer to inspect the spirals conveyors in operation, review our integration/installation guidelines, preventative maintenance procedures and to ensure our machines meet their requirements.

It was time well spent and we received the following feedback. “Thank you for hosting my Visit. I really appreciated the flexibility and hospitality of your team. The overall equipment design was very good and I can tell there is a high degree of commitment to customer service. I look forward to receiving the photos and temperature data. Please pass along my thanks and appreciation to the rest of the team.”

Ryson spiral conveyors support sustainability in many ways. The most obvious efficiency is against the traditional incline conveyor. The space savings is quite evident from the two comparative illustrations below. The spiral conveyor solution on the right layout needs  fewer motors making it 133% more efficient. With corresponding savings in energy costs, that can save substantial energy plant-wide. In addition, it saves on integration costs by simplifying wiring and safety controls.

Ryson incline conveyor

Ryson Spiral Conveyors require less floorspace, fewer controls and only one drive motor.

The proprietary rolling friction design of the slat chain makes the spiral conveyor extremely efficient. All Ryson products require little maintenance and have a very low noise level.  All bearings are sealed for life and do not need subsiquent lubrication. All Ryson products are modular in design and are easily convertible in the field to meet emerging needs. Visit www.ryson.com for additional information on Vertical Spiral Conveyors.

Spiral Lift at Wine & Spirits Distribution Center

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.

Stainless Ryson Mass Flow Spiral Conveyor

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.
