Cox and Plant Vibratory conveyor

• Transporting fragile or irregular-shaped food products without damage.
• Distributing ingredients evenly across processing lines.
• Dewatering or screening products using integrated mesh sections.
• Moving bulk materials in pharmaceutical or chemical processing.
• Feeding multi-head weighers or packaging machinery.

Typical throughput

Varies significantly based on product density and conveyor dimensions; commonly ranges from hundreds of kilograms to several tonnes per hour for this class of equipment.

Power supply

This unit is listed as 1-phase. Vibratory conveyors typically require a single-phase or three-phase electrical supply, often 230V or 400V, depending on motor size and region.

Material of construction

Often stainless steel (as described for this unit) for hygiene and corrosion resistance, particularly in food and pharmaceutical applications.

Footprint

The described unit has a pan length of 1700mm and width of 750mm. Overall footprint will be slightly larger to accommodate the drive mechanism and frame, typically adding 100-300mm to each dimension.

Vibration mechanism

Commonly driven by eccentric weights on electric motors or electromagnetic vibrators, providing controlled directional movement.

Screening capability

Units like this can be fitted with removable mesh screens (as described) for grading, dewatering, or fines removal.

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

  Vibratory conveyors are ideal for granular, powdered, or small bulk products, especially those that are fragile, sticky, or require gentle handling. They are also effective for products needing dewatering or screening.

• How easy is it to clean a stainless steel vibratory conveyor?

• Can the conveying speed be adjusted?

• What maintenance is typically required for a used vibratory conveyor?

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

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.
