NNP Vibratory conveyor

• Used for gentle and controlled transport of delicate or fragile food products.
• Ideal for distributing products evenly across multiple processing lines or packaging stations.
• Commonly employed in snack food production, confectionery, and fruit/vegetable processing.
• Suitable for dewatering, screening, or spreading products prior to further processing.

Typical throughput

Throughput for this class of equipment varies significantly based on product density and desired feed rate, but units commonly handle several tonnes per hour.

Power supply

Vibratory conveyors of this type typically operate on a 3-phase industrial power supply, commonly 400V, 50Hz in the UK.

Construction material

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

Typical footprint

While specific dimensions vary, units with a conveying surface of this size commonly require a floor area of approximately 1.5m x 0.8m, plus access space.

Maintenance requirements

Maintenance typically involves periodic inspection of springs, drives, and bearings, along with routine cleaning.

Suitable product types

This equipment is well-suited for dry, granular, or small particulate food products, as well as some wet or sticky items with appropriate pan design.

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

  Vibratory conveyors offer gentler handling, easier cleaning, and fewer moving parts, making them ideal for fragile or sticky products and high hygiene environments. They also allow for multi-lane splitting, as seen on this unit.

• Can this conveyor handle different product types?

• Is this unit suitable for washdown environments?

• How is the lane splitting achieved?

• What kind of foundation is required for installation?

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.
