Utilizing Overhead Space

High Throughput

Ryson Spiral Conveyors offer relaible vertical conveying at rates up to 200 feet per minute. They can also handle heavy items - up to 75 lbs per linear foot. Our Spirals can start and stop fully loaded - up to 3600 lbs.

Intermediate Induction

Our High Capacity Spirals can optionally be configured to allow loads to enter and exit the spirals at several intermediate elevations. Special induction and divert conveyors have individually adjustable conveying surfaces to match the spiral pitch, assuring a safe and reliable product transfer.

Modularity

All Ryson Spiral Conveyors are made to order and come in a wide range of sizes and configurations.Our innovative modular design allows Ryson to customize with ease and modify in the field to accommodate emerging needs.

Replacing Old Equipment:

Ryson Spiral Conveyors are often specified to replace older belt curves or gravity conveyors because the require less maintenance, have a smaller footprint and handle the product much more reliably. They can also be installed in very tight areas. While most spirals are delivered fully assembled, the highly modular design of Ryson spirals allows them to be reassembled in-place for challenging installation where existing equipment or building structures prevents moving a fully assembled spiral into place.

Order Picking Operations:

To minimize floor space operations, order picking operations frequently stack picking operations in levels. Ryson Spiral Conveyors with inductions and diverts are ideally suited to providing the vertical transportation of product between these levels. Loads can be fed to the proper level at one end of a pick module and merged at the other end for delivery to shipping. Utilizing Spirals with inductions and diverts minimizes the floorspace required for vertical transportation freeing up more space for picking operations.

Cold Storage and Freezer Environments

Ryson Spiral Conveyors are increasingly used for freezer applications, for example in distribution centers for frozen foods. These spirals can function at low temperatures because their carrying surfaces roll on bearings. Some materials are replaced with low-temperature components, and lubricants are adjusted to suit the cold environment. Heaters may be needed for some electronics. With extensive experience, Ryson has developed spirals that operate effectively in freezing conditions, down to -40°F, making them unique in the USA.

Early Out Efficiency:

Ryson Spiral Conveyors can be used to increase efficiency of a pick module by routing completed orders directly to the sorter. The most commonly ordered SKUs are placed on the lower level of the pick module, and if the case order is complete, it can bypass the rest of the pick module with an “early out” conveyor. This can result in substantial energy savings and efficiency.

Wide Trak

The Ryson Wide Track models are the largest High Capacity Spirals we manufacture and offer the widest conveying surface. These have quickly been adopted at facilities like home improvement stores where there are a wide range of product sizes and many SKUs are quite large and heavy. The load capacity of all of our High Capacity model’s is 75 lbs. per linear foot of conveyor and can operate at speeds up to 200 FPM. The total weight capacity in the spiral at any one time is 3600 lbs. - and the spirals can be stopped and started fully loaded.

Multiple Infeed

All of our High Capacity and Wide Track models can optionally be equipped to induct, or divert loads out of the spiral at intermediate levels. Special proprietary induction and divert conveyors have individually adjustable conveying surfaces to match the spiral’s pitch, assuring a safe and reliable product transfer.

High Capacity

Our High Capacity models are designed to carry heavier loads and can be configured to have different sized conveying surfaces ranging from 12” to 36”. The clever – and efficient - design of our chain-slat arrangement allows the transport of different sized units without need to make adjustments. This is a perfect feature for operations like pick modules – where package sizes can vary greatly.
