Pride Conveyance Systems’ Spiral Conveyor, which was being dismantled for shipment to a customer. It’s designed to accumulate cans when production equipment downstream malfunctions or during a can change. Spirals move cans in one direction as an elevator or both directions as bi-directional. This means the Spiral can hold up to 64,000 cans at any one time. The advantage to this is that
the modular execution strategy allows for the ease of installation with minimal downtime. This greater accumulation improves line efficiency, and an increase average output of up to 1%, with a rapid payback of capital investment. At a footprint of just 325 square feet, the Spiral promises fewer downed cans, and ensures more cans are out the door day-to-day. Pride’s service offerings include
full-service client lifecycle support for a growing install base of conveyance systems. Lifecycle support services with Pride include spare parts, technical support, conveyance assessments, retrofit and rebuild packages, as well as global field support. These services ensure continuous travel of cans throughout the entire process system with minimal downtime and interruption of can flow.
