Compact Vertical Spiral Conveyors Tackle Small Loads
Ryson's (ryson.com) new Narrow Trak spiral conveyors are equipped with 6- or 9-inch wide nesting slats that provide a flat conveying surface without gaps. These spirals can run at speeds in excess of 200 fpm. The nesting slats have the capacity to end-transfer small cartons and packages or side-transfer small bottles or containers in a single file or in a continuous mass flow.
The Narrow Trak spirals offer a larger elevation change capacity than what is currently available in the small package marketplace, states the company. The spiral conveyors are a good alternative to side gripper conveyors because they can run at high speeds and don't need to be adjusted for varying product sizes.
