Spiral conveyors
Vertical throughput,
in under three feet.
A compact, continuous-flow spiral that carries up to 50 lbs per linear foot — and gives you back the floor space a conventional incline would have eaten.

Stainless beams with drainage channels, stainless fasteners and shafts, welded or strip-assembled — built to survive frequent, aggressive cleaning.
Stainless conveyorsWho we are
CarrylineUSA conveyor equipment, automated conveyor systems and integration. Since 2003 we have solved some of the industry's toughest handling and automation challenges.
CarrylineUSA, a division of Innovative Manufacturing Services, Inc., provides system integration and automation, material handling equipment, electrical controls and technical services for manufacturers across a wide range of industries. Our solutions are available throughout the United States, Canada and Mexico.
Our South Central Kentucky facility is a 28,000-square-foot stocking center for components, a build center for conveyors and complete systems, and a factory acceptance testing floor. The people who quote your project are the people who build it.
"We Convey Excellence" in all that we do. Let us help you meet your ROI goals by providing the best value for your investment dollars.

Where it started
CarryLine AB invented the plastic side-flexing chain conveyor in Kungälv, Sweden.

Two decades of engineered handling and automation solutions across the USA.

Every panel is built to the standard in our own shop.
What we do
Three capabilities, one accountable team.
Most plants buy conveyor from one vendor, controls from another and integration from a third. We do all three, which is why the handoffs don't fail.
Conveyor systems
Plastic chain, aluminum and stainless steel conveyors — plus spirals, alpines and grip conveyors for when the floor space runs out.
Automation & controls
Electrical controls design, PLC programming, HMI screen development and field service — built around Allen-Bradley, Siemens, Omron and more.
Components & parts
Chains, slide rails, aluminum profiles, brackets, guide rails and traffic control accessories — stocked in Kentucky, shipped fast.
Spiral conveyors
When the only space left is up.
The CarrylineUSA spiral is a compact vertical solution built from standard components and a special chain design. We customize the infeed and discharge heights and lengths around your material handling path.
Some models need less than three feet of manufacturing floor space — so you get an efficient conveyor and reclaim real estate for everything else.
- Loads up to 50 lbs per linear foot
- Chain widths of 83 mm, 140 mm and 220 mm
- Speed range from 2 to 165 FPM
- Aluminum or stainless steel construction
- Continuous flow, minimal maintenance
Controls
Reliability is designed in, not inspected in.
Our controls engineers develop the advanced, integrated control units that keep every material handling process moving. We make sure all the components in your handling or automation system are fully compatible — ensuring reliability, productivity and safety.
We design and build to the requirements of UL 508A, the Underwriters Laboratories standard for industrial control panels, every time — using the component brands you require: Allen-Bradley / Rockwell Automation, Siemens, Omron, Mitsubishi and Automation Direct.
Industries served
Experience where the tolerances are tight.
From clean-room catheter packaging to snuff cartons moving at speed, we have solved the handling problem before.
CarrylineUSA designed a top of the line, first of its kind double helix spiral conveyor. CarrylineUSA allowed me to collaborate with the design closely and was responsive to my feedback, unlike other companies I've worked with in the past. The spiral conveyor has been in continuous operation for over 2 years now and we still haven't had an issue, which I think speaks for itself.
Chris StineProcess Engineer, JM Smucker
I've been more than pleased with our CarrylineUSA conveyor. They provided us with a cost competitive solution for pallet transfer in a difficult line layout. The system was also very easy to retrofit when our layout changed earlier this year. I highly recommend CarrylineUSA conveyor and will continue to look for opportunities to use them in the future.
Brad AllenEngineer, Sumitomo Electric Wiring Systems
Happy to report the dual spiral conveyors are performing flawlessly during acceptance testing, and at the customer site. Your team delivered the equipment as promised, and exceeded our expectations on delivery. We sourced multiple other spiral conveyor manufacturers and they all declined to accept the project due to the complexity and level of difficulty. This project would not have been possible without the creativity and unique design solutions by CarrylineUSA.

Insights
Notes from the people who build the line.
Conveyor designing & how you can have the best
We design in 3D with SolidWorks — so you see the real footprint, and we catch the clashes before anything is cut.
How to get more out of your spiral conveyor
Minimum centerline diameters of 2.62 ft, seven chain styles, and configurable helical tiers — what actually makes a spiral work for you.
How to maximize floor space & increase productivity
The smaller spiral footprints occupy less than three feet of floor — and ten industries are already using them to reclaim their plants.
Let's design the line around your product.
Send us your product size, throughput target and floor plan. Our engineers will come back with a layout, a footprint and a number.
