Easiweigh Vibratory conveyor

• Transporting fragile or delicate food products without damage, such as cereals, snacks, and confectionery.
• Distributing products evenly to multi-head weighers or packaging machines.
• Handling dry, granular, or powdered ingredients in a controlled manner.
• Sorting and separating products based on size or density through screens or perforations.

Typical throughput

Throughput for this class of equipment varies significantly based on product density and desired feed rate, commonly ranging from a few hundred kilograms to several tonnes per hour.

Power supply

Units of this type commonly require a 3-phase electrical supply, typically 400V, 50Hz, to power the vibratory motors.

Construction material

For food processing applications, vibratory conveyors are almost exclusively constructed from food-grade stainless steel, often 304 or 316 grade.

Pan design

Dimple pan designs are common, intended to reduce product sticking and improve flow characteristics, particularly for moist or sticky items.

Variable speed control

Variable speed functionality is a standard feature, allowing operators to adjust the conveying speed to suit different products and production requirements.

Footprint

The total length of vibratory conveyors can vary widely, but for units of this type, lengths typically range from 1 to 3 metres, with widths dependent on the application.

• What are the main benefits of a vibratory conveyor in food processing?

  Vibratory conveyors offer gentle product handling, precise flow control, and are easy to clean, making them ideal for maintaining product integrity and hygiene standards in food applications.

• Is this unit suitable for wet products?

• How is the conveying speed adjusted?

• What maintenance is typically required for a vibratory conveyor?

• Can this conveyor be integrated with other 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.
