The Ryson modular spiral design has many advantages. One of the biggest advantages is our ability to perform a Spiral reconfigure quickly and economically. This can happen in the field, or in our manufacturing plant.
This is extremely advantageous in industries where line changes and layouts are inevitable. In a few days we will ship this spiral back to our Integrator Partner, Kaufman Engineered Systems. This 1500-400 spiral conveyor needed the discharge elevation to drop by 12″.
We evaluated the costs of sending our technician to their plant and us doing the work at our Virginia facility and it was more economical do it in our plant. The implementation schedule allowed the transit and production times required to make the change in house.
This example highlights two of our unique strengths in the market. One of the main features/benefits of our spirals is our proprietary modular design, allowing these kinds of quick modifications. It makes reconfiguring an existing spiral to conform to a new line layout a much easier and less expensive proposition. The other Strength is that we are customer service based, and go to great lengths to assure customer satisfaction, and work with them to find the best solution.
