Gough Vibratory conveyor

• Gentle transfer of delicate food products such as cereals, snacks, and 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 cooling.
• Screening and sorting of granular materials to remove fines or oversized particles.

Typical throughput

For this class of equipment, throughput can range from several hundred kilograms to a few tonnes per hour, depending on product density and desired feed rate.

Power supply

Commonly found on units of this type, single-phase (1Ph) or three-phase (3Ph) electrical connections are typical, often 230V or 400V.

Construction material

Stainless steel contact parts are standard for food processing applications, ensuring hygiene and corrosion resistance.

Vibration mechanism

Typically driven by eccentric weights or electromagnetic vibrators, allowing for controlled product movement.

Control

Variable speed control is a common feature, enabling adjustment of product flow and residence time.

Footprint

Overall length for this type of conveyor can vary significantly, but units are designed to integrate into existing lines. Buyers should verify specific dimensions with the seller.

• What types of products are suitable for a vibratory conveyor?

  Vibratory conveyors are ideal for dry, free-flowing, granular, or delicate products that require gentle handling, such as cereals, nuts, seeds, snacks, and some frozen items.

• Can this conveyor handle wet or sticky products?

• How easy is it to clean a vibratory conveyor?

• What maintenance is typically required for a vibratory conveyor?

• Can the discharge height be adjusted?

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.
