- Typical throughput
- Varies significantly based on product density and desired speed, but for this class of equipment, it commonly ranges from hundreds of kilograms to several tonnes per hour.
- Power supply
- Units of this type typically require a 3-phase electrical supply, commonly 400V, 50Hz in the UK.
- Bed material
- For food processing applications, the vibratory bed is typically constructed from food-grade stainless steel (e.g., 304 or 316) to ensure hygiene and corrosion resistance.
- Vibration mechanism
- Commonly driven by electromagnetic vibrators or unbalanced motor drives, providing controlled amplitude and frequency for product movement.
- Footprint
- While the bed dimensions are provided, the overall footprint will be larger due to the drive mechanism, support frame, and control panel.
- Maintenance requirements
- Typically low, focusing on regular cleaning, inspection of springs/isolators, and checking electrical connections and motor bearings.
- Suitable product types
- Highly versatile, suitable for a wide range of dry, granular, powdered, or small piece products, and some wet products depending on bed design.
