Parts and Service

Quality and Service Come First at Ryson.

Ryson provides OEM spare parts, service support, manuals, training, and preventive maintenance resources to help keep spiral conveyors running reliably. Our support programs are built for operations that need dependable uptime, reduced downtime risk, and long equipment life. With stocked parts, startup kits included with every spiral shipped, and trained service support, Ryson helps maintenance and operations teams keep production moving.

Our products are designed for low maintenance and long service life, but every operation still needs a clear support path. The Ryson Parts and Service teams work together to help customers identify the right replacement parts, request technical documents, schedule service support, and plan preventive maintenance. For many stocked items, parts can usually ship the same day they are ordered.

This is also beneficial to our customers because it helps them familiarize themselves with the spiral components, and offers a tangible reference should they need to order additional spare parts. Click the contact button below, or call to get quotes on spare parts.

- Ask about our new maintenance contracts

Ryson service support helps customers troubleshoot issues, plan maintenance, and protect equipment reliability over time. Ask about maintenance contracts, field support options, and service guidance designed to improve uptime, safety, and total cost of ownership.

Only high quality components are used throughout.

Why are Ryson Spirals are low maintenance?

All bearings are lubricated for life.

The slats and carriers need no maintenance and can easily be replaced as single components without the use of special tools.

The chain is of heavy duty nickel plated construction, and needs infrequent lubrication.

The chain will stretch over time and needs to be shortened accordingly. The first shortening normally takes place after the first 200 hours of operation.

The chain must be in tension at all times. A special chain shortening section is provided to facilitate easy and fast shortening. (download chain shortening procedure)

All Ryson spirals are equipped with an automatic chain tensioning device where a proximity sensor is sensing the correct operating position of the device.

For more maintenance instruction, refer to the manual delivered with the equipment. The manuals are available in both a printed and electronic format.

Request Manual for your Ryson Machine

Ryson manuals are available in printed and electronic formats. If your maintenance team needs the correct operating, maintenance, or troubleshooting documentation for a specific machine, request the manual here so your team can work from the right reference materials.

Scheduled maintenance is always better than an unscheduled "OOPS".

Why invest in a Ryson Maintenance Contract?

Scheduled maintenance is usually more cost-effective than unexpected downtime. Ryson maintenance contract options are available on a quarterly, six-month, or annual basis and can include inspections, audits, reports, and recommended spare parts guidance to support long-term performance.

The Ryson Spirals require little maintenance.

Ryson Spirals require relatively little maintenance, but routine checks are still essential for safe and reliable operation. Daily, weekly, monthly, quarterly, and long-interval inspections help identify wear, protect chain performance, maintain safe operating conditions, and prevent avoidable downtime.

Key maintenance points include chain inspection, tension checks, transition roller checks, speed matching, guide rail positioning, safety-circuit verification, overload protection checks, jam-sensor functionality, chain and sprocket wear review, and periodic gearbox oil changes. The chain may need its first shortening after approximately 200 hours of operation, depending on use and tension conditions.

Inspect chain and replace any damaged or missing parts. Do not run the spiral with missing parts.

Check the chain tension. Shorten the chain when needed. The chain may have to be shortened within the first 200 hours of operation (see the chain shortening instructions in the manual).

The chain tension bar should operate at an angle between 0º and 6º. The chain needs to be shortened when the tension bar is at or below 0º (horizontal).

Spirals with spring tensioner – Check the spring compression. The compressed spring should measure 140 mm. The tensioner flag should operate between the red and the green markers.

Spirals with air operated tensioner – Check the tensioner air pressure. For the forward direction (up) the pressure should be set at 15 PSI, and the reverse direction (down) at 20 PSI. Larger units may need higher pressure to achieve proper tension – consult your owners manual.
Check the transition rollers and holders. All rollers should turn freely and be adjusted to the correct height for smooth transitions. All hardware should be tight.
Check speed matching. The in-feed, spiral and out-feed conveyors must be running at the same speed.
Check the guide rails for proper position. All hardware should be tight.

Check the chain tensioner and safety circuit for functionality. Fault out the slack chain proximity sensor. The spiral and the infeed conveyors should stop immediately and not automatically restart.
Check the overload protection device and safety circuit for functionality. Fault out the overload proximity sensor. The spiral and the in-feed conveyors should stop immediately and not automatically restart.
Check the outfeed jam sensor for functionality. Loads should not back up into a running spiral. The spiral and the infeed conveyors should stop immediately.

Check the chain and sprockets for wear and lubrication. Apply lubricant only when required, and apply sparingly to prevent dripping and buildup. Do not lubricate plastic parts. We recommend the use of a spray application (see photo) or a brush on method.

Change oil in the motor gearbox.
