Cox and Plant Vibratory Conveyors

• Food processing lines for gentle product transfer, such as snacks, cereals, and frozen foods.
• Pharmaceutical production for precise handling of powders, granules, and tablets.
• Chemical industries for conveying dry bulk materials and fine chemicals.
• Recycling facilities for sorting and moving various waste streams.
• Packaging operations for feeding products into automated systems.

Typical throughput

Varies significantly based on material density and conveyor dimensions; buyers should consult the seller for specific unit capabilities.

Power supply

Commonly 400V, 3-phase, 50Hz for industrial applications in the UK, though smaller units may use single-phase.

Construction material

Typically stainless steel for food-grade and hygienic applications, or mild steel for general industrial use.

Bed width

For this class of equipment, bed widths commonly range from 300mm to over 1000mm, depending on application.

Conveyor length

Units can range from short transfer sections of 1 metre to long conveying lines exceeding 10 metres.

Vibration mechanism

Often driven by unbalanced motors or electromagnetic vibrators, providing controlled directional movement.

Maintenance requirements

Generally low, focusing on motor checks, spring integrity, and ensuring clean conveying surfaces.

• What types of products are best suited for vibratory conveyors?

  Vibratory conveyors are ideal for fragile, granular, powdered, or irregularly shaped dry bulk products that require gentle handling and minimal degradation during transfer.

• Can these conveyors handle wet or sticky products?

• Are spare parts readily available for Cox and Plant vibratory conveyors?

• How do I determine the correct size and type of vibratory conveyor for my needs?

• What are the typical installation requirements for these units?

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.
