- Typical throughput
- For this class of equipment, throughput can vary significantly based on product density and desired feed rate, typically ranging from 500 kg/hr to several tonnes/hr.
- Power supply
- Units of this type commonly operate on a 3-phase electrical supply, typically 400V, 50Hz, with motor power generally between 0.5 kW and 2.2 kW.
- Construction material
- Vibratory conveyors for food processing are almost exclusively constructed from food-grade stainless steel to meet hygiene standards.
- Footprint
- The length of vibratory conveyors varies widely; for a unit with a 1600mm trough, the overall footprint will be slightly larger to accommodate the drive system and support frame.
- Vibration mechanism
- Typically, these conveyors use eccentric weights or electromagnetic drives to create the vibratory motion.
- Maintenance requirements
- Maintenance is generally low, focusing on regular cleaning, inspection of springs/isolators, and lubrication of drive components if applicable.
