As 2011 comes to a close, Ryson would like to wish you a fun, safe, meaningful and prosperous New Year!
We look forward to building more spiral conveyors and developing deeper relationships with our customers, integrators and vendors. Heartfelt well wishes to you all.
Cheers! – The Spiral Team
Happy Holidays from Ryson. From all our employees, we would like to wish you the merriest of seasons.
Ryson has had a record-breaking year and would like to thank you. We realize that our service record and commitment to excellence is what keeps customers and integrators coming back whenever they need vertical conveying. So it is because of people and companies like you that have contributed to our success.
We invite you to stay up-to-date with Ryson developments by subscribing to our newsletter, or following our blog. The blog is searchable, and is becoming a valuable database of product developments and unique applications for spiral conveyors. We also have a Ryson YouTube Channel that shows spiral applications from the field – both valuable resources for project engineers.
If we can help you in any way, please don’t hesitate to contact us.
Season’s Greetings and Best wishes for 2012! – The Ryson Spiral Team.

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.
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.
As this year draws to an end, Ryson is reflecting back and recognize we have been incredibly fortunate this year. In fact, we have had our best year to date.
Our employees take deep pride in our company and the spiral conveyors we hand-craft. It is also gratifying that our customers are happy with our products and services. It is because of you that we are growing, allowing us to fill more niches and conveying solutions we hadn’t even anticipated.
So in addition to counting our blessings for the growth and success of our company, we are thankful to you. Our customers. We would like to wish you a truly happy Thanksgiving and a very long list of things you are thankful for. – The Spiral Team
In the shop this week we are finishing a tall high capacity spiral conveyor. The HC 1700-400 (16″ wide slats) is going to a large consumer products manufacturer in Mexico. The spiral will become part of a system where products from 9 different packaging lines are conveyed overhead to an adjacent building. The spiral then declines variable sized packages 28 feet down to floor level at a speed of 200 FPM. From there they go to sortation and palletizing prior to shipping. The integrator on the project is C & A Systems out of Mexico.
The robust high capacity design gives Ryson the ability to go taller – and with more weight, while staying with our proven proprietary modular design. The total weight capacity in the spiral lift at any one time is 3600 lbs. Only one drive motor is required, resulting in substantial savings in energy, controls and system integration. Most models are shipped totally pre-assembled, which will minimize the implementation costs at their destination.

Ryson’s sales team is dedicated to getting you fast and reliable spiral conveyor quotes. Most quote requests are responded to within a 24 hour window. This service is a priority because we realize you are often under the gun in turning your system proposals around.
The form is clear and concise, allowing you to fill in the details pertinent to an accurate vertical conveyor quote from us. Details such as infeed height, outfeed height, load size, speed requirements and other information is requested so Ryson can suggest the most effective spiral conveyor model for you.
Custom needs and requirements such as custom tangents, and extended infeeds can also be relayed in the notes. Our engineering staff is always available to work with you to find a custom solution.
If you would like to streamline your quoting process with Ryson, we encourage you to enter your specifics on our website at www.ryson.com/spiral-RFQ.htm. You can alternatively download our Digital Request For Spiral Quotation Form, which you can simply fill out and e-mail back to us.
The Ryson Spiral conveyor can be manufactured to operate in a freezer environment down to -30 degrees. The spiral conveyor is a logical choice for declining frozen product to a robotic palletizer or downstream packaging line. When compared to other methods like belt declines and vertical case lowerators, the Ryson Spiral design is very reliable for this harsh environment. The blue slats are a proprietary compound developed by Ryson to operate in low temperatures and not be brittle.
Ryson Spiral Conveyors can be configured to operate effectively in freezer environments.
We recently shipped a special cold spiral for handling large tubs of Ice Cream in a freezer (minus 10 degrees F) at a large Ice Cream manufacturer in the Midwest by our Systems Integrator, Engineered Packaging Systems of Addison, Illinois. The above photo was taken in our manufacturing plant during testing prior to shipping. This spiral joins many other Ryson spirals in use in sub-zero environments across North America.
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.

PackExpo will take place in Las Vegas in a few weeks. We welcome you to visit our booth and learn about the latest in vertical conveying solutions and how Ryson Spiral Conveyors can reduce your operating cost and the cost of ownership.
Ryson will be exhibiting our standard unit load vertical spiral conveyor that can convey cases, totes and other packages vertically in a very small footprint. Our Mass Flow unit will aslo be running at the show – it is becoming very popular in the bottling industry as it can convey bottles, cans and jars vertically in a mass flow. Ryson will also display our new induction conveyor which allows spiral entry at multiple elevations.
If you plan on attending, please stop by our booth. You may also contact us to set up a private demonstration or meeting. Read more about Ryson’s Booth at Pack Expo.
