Dual Track Spiral Conveyors

With dual track spiral conveyors, tracks operate independently within a single spiral tower. Tracks can raise or lower the load, and can optionally be reversible.

A single drive motor is required for each track, resulting in substantial savings in energy, controls and systems integration. Since you can conveyor twice the load in the same footprint, the dual track systems require even less floor space than a single track spiral.

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.

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.

Most spirals are shipped without controls because they are normally integrated into an overall conveyor control system.

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.
