Cox and Plant Vibratory conveyor

• Transporting fragile food products such as crisps, biscuits, or cereals without damage.
• Moving granular or powdered materials in chemical or pharmaceutical processing.
• Distributing components in assembly lines for non-food manufacturing.
• Dewatering or screening products when equipped with appropriate mesh decks.
• Feeding multihead weighers or packaging machines in automated lines.

Typical throughput

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

Power supply

Units of this type commonly operate on a 3-phase electrical supply, typically 400V, 50Hz in the UK.

Construction material

As indicated, this unit is stainless steel, which is standard for food-grade and hygienic applications, offering corrosion resistance and ease of cleaning.

Footprint

The internal conveyor dimensions are 1100mm x 300mm; however, the overall footprint will be larger to accommodate the drive mechanism and support frame.

Drive mechanism

Vibratory conveyors typically use electromagnetic or unbalanced motor drives to create the directional conveying motion.

Maintenance requirements

Maintenance commonly involves checking drive components, springs, and ensuring all fasteners are secure. Regular cleaning is essential, especially in food processing environments.

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

  Vibratory conveyors are ideal for dry, granular, powdered, or fragile products that require gentle handling. They are less suitable for sticky, oily, or very fine dusty materials without specific modifications.

• Can this conveyor be used for inclined transport?

• Is this unit suitable for washdown environments?

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

• How is the conveying speed adjusted?

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.
