KMG EMC2 Vibratory Conveyor

Applications & Use Cases

• Gentle transfer of delicate food products such as snacks, cereals, and baked goods.
• Distribution of bulk ingredients like nuts, seeds, and dried fruit within a processing line.
• Feeding packaging machines with consistent product flow.
• Sorting and screening operations for various food items.

Typical Specifications

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.
