Driver Southall - Driver Southall Vibrating Conveyor

Applications & Use Cases

• Gentle transfer of delicate food products such as snacks, cereals, or confectionery.
• Distribution of bulk ingredients to multiple processing lines.
• Dewatering or de-oiling of products after washing or frying.
• Spreading products evenly for further processing like drying or freezing.
• Screening or grading of products based on size.

Typical Specifications

Typical capacity

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

Power supply

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

Bed material

For food processing applications, the bed is typically constructed from food-grade stainless steel (e.g., 304 or 316).

Vibration mechanism

This model specifies 'Electro Mag', indicating an electromagnetic drive system, which typically offers precise control over vibration amplitude and frequency.

Control

A standalone control panel is common, allowing for adjustment of vibration intensity and operational parameters.

Hygiene

Stainless steel construction and open designs are typical to facilitate easy cleaning and compliance with food safety standards.
