  • Spiral Conveyors

  • Ryson is the number one manufacturer of spiral conveyors in the USA.
    Our spirals are based on a new and innovative technology, offering many features and benefits. Ryson Spirals need less floor space than conventional conveyors and are faster and more reliable than any elevator or lift.

    Small Footprint:
    A proprietary low friction chain slat arrangement allows Ryson Spirals to operate within a small footprint, saving valuable floor space.

    High Throughput:
    The spirals convey loads up or down in a continuous flow, facilitating high throughput. The spirals can operate at speeds up to 200FPM and are optionally reversible.

    One Drive:
    Only one drive motor is required, resulting in substantial savings in energy, controls and systems integration.

    Easy to Install:
    Most spirals are shipped in one piece, pre-assembled and pre-tested, drastically reducing time and cost of installation.

    Low Maintenance:
    Ryson Spirals are designed for low maintenance and long life. Only high quality components are used throughout. All bearings are sealed for life and need no further lubrication. The chain is of heavy duty nickel plated construction and needs only infrequent lubrication. The slats need no maintenance and can easily be replaced as single components without the use of special tools.

    Proprietary Chain Slat Arrangement
    This innovative design enables a low friction operation. The slats are supported by precision steel roller bearings which ride on a polyurethane wear surface. This arrangement effectively takes up the side forces created by a tight radius and at the same time increases the load carrying capacity of the chain up to 75 lbs. per foot. This furthermore facilitates high speed, low noise and long life.

        Ryson Spiral Conveyors need less floor space than conventional conveyors and are faster and more reliable than any elevator or lift.

        Modular Design
        An innovative modular design allows Ryson to customize with ease and modify in the field to accommodate emerging needs. All spirals are made to order and are available in 4 basic configurations ( A, B, C and D), accommodating most requirements relating to the location of the in and out feed tangents. All configurations can operate up or down in a clockwise or counterclockwise rotation.

        Small Footprint
        The spiral diameter is determined by the size of the loads (length, width and height) to be handled. A broad range of sizes allows the Ryson Spiral Conveyors to be viable in the manufacturing, packaging, bottling, order picking, distribution, and warehousing operations of most industries.

        Overlapping Slats
        重叠的板条提供一个光滑的efficient conveying surface suitable for a wide variety of load types and sizes for speeds up to 200 fpm. The slats are made of a fiberglass reinforced nylon and are available in widths of 8″, 12″, 16″, 20″, 24 and 26″. The slats can also be furnished with friction inserts to accommodate slick products such as plastic totes or frozen items.

          • Custom Solutions

          • The position and length of the in-feed tangent on up spirals and out-feed tangent on down spirals can be customized to meet specific layout requirements. Samples are shown below (A-EX, B-MA and C-EX). A horizontal section is provided at in and out feed to assure smooth transition between conveyors. All Ryson Spirals are available in powder coated carbon steel, stainless steel, washdown, and freezer versions.

          • Built In Protection

          • All Ryson Spirals are equipped with an automatic chain tensioning device and built in overload protection. The chain tensioning device is spring operated and a proximity sensor is sensing the correct operating position of the device. The overload protection device has an adjustable torque arm arrangement which is connected to the drive motor. A proximity sensor will sense when the device pivots during an overload condition and cause the motor to stop.

          • Controls

          • Most of our spirals are shipped without controls because they are normally integrated into an overall conveyor control system. The spirals always include an inverter duty gear motor and two proximity sensors, one for the automatic chain tensioner and the other for the overload protection device.

            A Variable Frequency Drive (VFD) is required for the proper operation of the spiral. Ryson offers several controls options including :

            • Stand alone control panel with interface capabilities
            • Prewired motor disconnect
            • Proximity sensors prewired to a central junction box
            • Prewired missing slat detection sensors.

        • Mass Flow Spirals

        • The Ryson Mass Flow Spirals are designed to handle full and empty bottles, cans, jars and other similar containers.
          The Ryson Mass Flow Spiral Conveyors are ideal for canning and bottling operations where units need to be conveyed vertically in mass. Products are conveyed up or down in a continuous mass flow. Ryson Spirals have a small footprint and provide considerable space savings compared to conventional methods.

          The Mass Flow Spirals are based on the already proven and reliable Ryson Spiral technology. Only one drive motor is needed, equating to substantial savings in controls and systems integration. All Ryson Spirals are designed for low maintenance and long life. Many spirals operate 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.

          The Mass Flow Spirals are equipped with extended in and outfeed tangents to facilitate smooth side transfer to and from external conveyors. They can be delivered with 10”, 12”, 16” or 20” wide slats with capacities of up to 2,000 units per minute. They are also available in powdered coated carbon steel, stainless steel and washdown versions.

            • Dual Track Spirals

            • The new Ryson Dual Track Spiral Conveyors are the ultimate in space savings.
              Two tracks operate independently within one spiral structure. Both tracks can go up or down, and can optionally be reversible.

              Only one drive motor is required for each track, resulting in substantial savings in energy, controls and systems integration. The dual spiral conveyors build on the already proven Ryson Spiral Technology and are designed for low maintenance and long life. Ryson Spiral Conveyors need less floor space than conventional conveyors and are faster and more reliable than any elevator or lift.

              Models with dual 8”, 12”, 16” or 20” wide slats are available. Some site assembly is required for models with 16” and 20” wide slats.

              Standard Configurations
              The dual spirals are available in 4 basic standard configurations (A, B, C and D) and will accommodate most requirements relating to the location of the in and out feed tangents. All configurations can operate up or down in a clockwise or counterclockwise rotation.

              Custom configurations
              The position and length of the infeed-tangent on up spirals and the outfeed-tangent on down spirals can be customized to meet specific layout requirements. This is possible for all standard configurations. The following depict samples of common customizations:
              • C-EX configuration matches the centerline of the top and bottom conveyor centerlines. Centerline offsets can also be accommodated.
              • B-MA is an example of modified in or outfeed angle. The modified angle is normally 45 or 30 degrees, but other angles can be provided.
              • A-EX show extended in or outfeed tangents which can be straight or curved and can accommodate centerline off-sets.

              The two tracks of the Dual Track Spiral Conveyors do not have to feed in and out of the spiral at the same elevations, and can be applied very effectively to multi-level order picking modules or similar applications.外面的跟踪服务第一级和我nner track the second level. In the examples to the right, the space savings is considerable if you consider that you get two spirals in one compact footprint.

              • Vertical Accumulation Buffers

              • The Ryson Vertical Accumulation Buffer is an efficient use of overhead space.
                Overhead space is efficiently used for overhead dynamic storage or buffering while preserving valuable floor space.

                The Ryson Vertical Accumulation Buffers utilize one reversible spiral or combine two or more spirals for up and down movement. Most conveyable products can be handled, including bottles, cans, pails, bags, bundles, totes, containers and wrapped or unwrapped items.

                The accumulation buffers build on the already proven Ryson Spiral technology featuring low maintenance and long life. The buffers are available with 8”, 12” 16”, 20” or 24” wide slats and can be delivered in powder coated, stainless steel or washdown versions.

                Dynamic Buffering
                The Ryson Accumulation Buffers can be used to provide dynamic storage where products need time for cooling, drying or curing. Additional dynamic buffer storage capacity can be obtained by adding pairs of spirals.

                The Ryson Accumulation Buffers can also be used to take up surges between manufacturing processes and can provide dynamic buffering during shorter production or packaging line interruptions. This will reduce downtime and increase productivity. Some products can be merged back into the production or packaging lines directly from the accumulation buffer while others will need additional merging devices – depending on type of product and speed of operation.
