New generation of Spiral Conveyors convey loads up or down in a continuous flow, thereby facilitating high throughput. The Ryson Spiral Conveyors have the smallest footprint available and therefore provide substantial space savings compared to conventional methods. The outside diameter varies from 4’-9” to 8’-6” depending on the size of load. The load capacity is 75 lbs. per linear foot of conveyor for speeds up to 200 FPM. The angle of incline is between 9 and 11 degrees which safeguards against loads sliding or tumbling during operation. Only one drive motor is needed, equating to substantial savings in controls and systems integration. Most spirals are shipped in one piece, pre-assembled and pre-tested, thereby drastically reducing time and cost of installation. The Ryson Spirals are of the chain slat type. The slats are supported by precision steel roller bearings which ride on a polyurethane guide surface. This proprietary low friction arrangement facilitates a smooth operation, high speed, low noise and long life. The Spirals can be delivered in powder painted carbon steel, stainless steel or washdown versions, suitable for food handling. Ideal for cold storage and freezer applications. The Ryson Spiral Conveyors are frequently used as elevators or lowerators in packaging lines. Also effective as continuous lifts between floors in multi-level order picking systems or any other vertical conveying application with limited space and need for high throughput. The new overlapping slats provide a smooth and efficient conveying surface suitable for a wide range of load types and sizes. Standard slat widths are 8”, 12”, 16”, 20” and 26”. The slats can also be furnished with friction inserts to accommodate slick products such as plastic totes or frozen items. An innovative modular design combined with modern high quality components makes the Ryson Spirals durable and maintenance friendly. This also allows Ryson to customize with ease and to find individual solutions for their customers.
