Cox and Plant Vibratory conveyor

• Transporting delicate or irregular-shaped food products without damage.
• Moving bulk dry goods such as grains, powders, or granules in processing lines.
• Distributing products evenly for further processing like sorting or packaging.
• Handling waste products or by-products in a sanitary manner.
• Conveying materials in environments requiring high levels of hygiene, such as food or pharmaceutical production.

Typical throughput

Throughput for this class of vibratory conveyor typically ranges from a few hundred kilograms to several tonnes per hour, depending on material density and desired speed.

Power supply

Units of this type commonly require a 3-phase electrical supply, typically 400V, 50Hz, which is standard for industrial equipment in the UK.

Construction material

For food processing applications, vibratory conveyors are typically constructed from food-grade stainless steel to ensure hygiene and corrosion resistance.

Footprint

The overall footprint will be larger than the internal conveyor dimensions, accounting for the drive mechanism and support frame, commonly adding 20-50% to the length and width.

Maintenance requirements

Maintenance for vibratory conveyors typically involves checking motor mounts, spring condition, and ensuring the conveying surface is clean and free from obstructions.

Suitable feed sizes

This type of conveyor is suitable for a wide range of particle sizes, from fine powders to larger discrete items, provided they do not bridge or jam.

• What are the advantages of a vibratory conveyor over a belt conveyor?

  Vibratory conveyors offer gentler handling for delicate products, are easier to clean, and have fewer moving parts, leading to lower maintenance in some applications. They are also well-suited for hot, abrasive, or sticky materials.

• Can this conveyor handle wet products?

• Is speed control typically available on these units?

• What kind of installation considerations are there?

• Are spare parts readily available for Cox and Plant equipment?

Food processing conveyor systems are valued for their reliability and cost-effectiveness when purchased used. Buyers typically prioritise checking belt condition, motor functionality, and overall structural integrity before purchase. Industry sentiment favours these systems for their durability and relatively straightforward maintenance requirements. Common strengths include adaptability to various production environments and long operational lifespans when properly maintained. Buyers should verify sanitation compliance and spare parts availability for their specific model before committing to purchase.
