Polar Systems Vibratory conveyor

• Gentle transfer of delicate food products such as fruits, vegetables, and confectionery.
• Spreading and aligning products for further processing steps like inspection or packaging.
• Dewatering or de-oiling products by allowing liquids to drain through a perforated pan.
• Feeding multihead weighers or other dosing equipment with consistent product flow.

Typical throughput

For this class of equipment, throughput can vary significantly based on product density and desired transfer rate, commonly ranging from 500 kg/hr to 3000 kg/hr.

Power supply

Vibratory conveyors typically operate on a 3-phase electrical supply, commonly 400V, 50Hz in the UK.

Construction material

Units for food processing are almost exclusively constructed from stainless steel for hygiene and corrosion resistance.

Footprint

While specific dimensions vary, vibratory conveyors of this type commonly have a pan width between 200mm and 600mm, and lengths from 1000mm to 4000mm.

Vibration control

Adjustable vibration controls are commonly found, allowing for optimisation of product flow and gentle handling.

Maintenance requirements

Maintenance typically involves checking motor mounts, spring condition, and ensuring cleanliness, particularly for food contact surfaces.

• What types of products are best suited for a vibratory conveyor?

  Vibratory conveyors are ideal for granular, fragile, or irregularly shaped products that require gentle handling and consistent flow, such as cereals, snacks, frozen vegetables, or small baked goods.

• Can this conveyor handle wet products?

• Is it possible to integrate this with existing production lines?

• What are the benefits of adjustable vibration controls?

• What is the typical lifespan of a vibratory conveyor?

Buyers typically value conveyor systems for their reliability and longevity when well-maintained. Key considerations when purchasing used units include belt condition, motor functionality, frame integrity, and available spare parts. Industry sentiment emphasises the importance of verifying operational history and cleanliness standards, particularly for food handling applications. Common strengths include robust construction, relatively straightforward maintenance requirements, and cost savings versus new equipment. Reputable manufacturers' models tend to hold their value well and integrate readily into existing production lines.
