The Ryson Wide Trak Spiral Conveyor can handle a variety of load sizes, big and small with their 30” or 36” wide slats. The Wide Trak Spiral Conveyor is capable of handling double the weight capacity of our standard spirals, and can provide an elevation change of up to 40 feet with only a single drive. This helps reduce over-all power consumption and simplifies integration. They are ideal for warehousing and order picking operations.
The Wide Trak Spirals can also optionally be configured to allow loads to enter and exit the spirals at several intermediate elevations. Special proprietarty induction and divert conveyors feature individually adjustable conveying surfaces to match the spiral pitch, assuring a safe and reliable product transfer.
Our modular design can be customized with ease or can be modified economically in the field to accommodate changing needs. All Ryson spirals are made to order and are come in 4 basic configurations, fulfilling most requirements relative to the location of the in and out feed tangents.
All Spiral Conveyor configurations can be designed to operate up or down in a clockwise or counterclockwise rotation and can also optionally be reversible. The position and length of the infeed tangent on up spirals and out feed tangent on down spirals can be engineered to meet specific layout requirements.
Our innovative belt enables a low rolling friction operation without any sliding movements or wear strips. The conveying surface is pulled by a heavy duty steel roller chain. The slats are supported by precision steel roller bearings which ride on a polyurethane surface. This arrangement effectively takes up the side forces created by a tight radius. It also increases the load carrying capacity of the belt up to 75 lbs per linear foot. This enables the spirals to start and stop fully loaded and can handle speeds up to 200 fpm. The slats are overlapping which provides a reliable and safe conveying surface. One that gently handles the loads without scarring or shifting their orientation.
