Ryson’s Modular Design allows you to repurpose our Spiral to fit into a different layout.
To repurpose, Ryson offers a cost-effective way to get the most out of one of our Spiral Conveyors. Our modular design allows an existing spiral to be modified. Often in the field – to fit a new layout or a design change.
In this case our Integrator partner Willcox & Allen was tasked with replacing an old belt curve. But they only had a shoestring budget.
They decommissioned this antiquated decline conveyor and found an old after-market Ryson Spiral to replace it with.
The only problem was that the orientation didn’t line up with their conveying line… Reconfigure option:
The used Ryson 1600-500 Spiral was shipped to our Virginia plant to be reconfigured and refurbished before shipping to the end user in the Southwest.
The spiral was turned into a 90 degree configuration (B) from a straight through (A) configuration. The spiral was also over 11 years old, so we also refreshed it with a new chain assembly.
All this work was done for a fraction of the cost of a new Spiral. This story therefore highlights a big benefit of our modular design and is one the reasons our products can help you reduce your over-all cost of ownership.
