Cox And Plant Vibratory Conveyor

Applications & Use Cases

• Sorting and grading of various food products, such as vegetables, fruits, and snacks.
• Gentle conveying of delicate items, minimising damage during transport.
• Dewatering or de-oiling products after washing or frying processes.
• Distributing ingredients evenly to subsequent processing stages.
• Removing fines or small debris from bulk food products.

Typical Specifications

Typical throughput

Throughput for this class of vibratory conveyor typically ranges from 500 kg/hr to several tonnes/hr, depending on product density and deck configuration.

Power supply

Units of this type commonly require a 3-phase electrical supply, typically 400V, 50Hz, with power consumption varying based on motor size and conveyor length.

Construction material

Food-grade vibratory conveyors are almost exclusively constructed from stainless steel (e.g., 304 or 316) for hygiene and corrosion resistance.

Deck configuration

This equipment often features single or multi-deck designs, with mesh or perforated screens for separation, commonly ranging from 5mm to 20mm aperture.

Footprint

For this class of equipment, overall dimensions can vary significantly, but a unit with a 2500mm x 500mm conveying surface would typically have an overall length of around 2.7m to 3m and a width of 0.7m to 0.9m, including drive mechanisms.

Vibration mechanism

Vibratory conveyors commonly utilise eccentric weights on electric motors or electromagnetic drives to generate the conveying motion.

Frequently Asked Questions

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

  Vibratory conveyors are ideal for granular, free-flowing, or delicate products that require gentle handling, sorting, or dewatering. They are less suitable for sticky or very fine powders.

• How difficult is it to integrate a used vibratory conveyor into an existing line?

• What maintenance is typically required for a vibratory conveyor?

• Can the mesh size be changed on a two-deck vibratory conveyor?
