Riley Automation Vibratory conveyor

• Gentle transfer of delicate food items such as cereals, snacks, or confectionery.
• Distribution of bulk ingredients to multiple processing lines.
• De-watering or de-oiling of products after washing or frying.
• Spreading products evenly before further processing like drying or freezing.
• Sorting and separating different sized food particles.

Typical throughput

Varies significantly based on product density and desired transfer rate, but units of this size commonly handle several hundred kilograms per hour.

Power supply

Units like this typically require a 3-phase electrical supply, commonly 400V, 50Hz in the UK.

Construction material

For food processing applications, stainless steel construction is standard for all product contact parts, as indicated by this unit.

Vibration control

Adjustable vibration is a common feature, allowing for optimisation based on product characteristics and desired conveying speed.

Footprint

While the conveyor section is 1700mm x 300mm, the mobile frame will add to the overall footprint, typically requiring a clear area of approximately 2000mm x 800mm.

Maintenance requirements

Generally low, focusing on regular cleaning, inspection of springs or drive mechanisms, and lubrication where applicable.

• What types of products are suitable for vibratory conveyors?

• What should I consider regarding 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.
