What types of products are best suited for a vibratory conveyor?

Vibratory conveyors are ideal for dry, granular, free-flowing, and delicate products that require gentle handling and consistent flow without damage.

How does a vibratory conveyor work?

The conveyor trough is vibrated at a specific frequency and amplitude, creating a series of micro-hops that gently propel the product forward along the trough.

Can the speed of product flow be adjusted?

Yes, most vibratory conveyors offer adjustable speed control, typically via a variable frequency drive (VFD) for the motor or by adjusting the electromagnetic drive settings, allowing for precise flow rate management.

What are the hygiene considerations for this type of equipment?

Food-grade stainless steel construction, smooth welds, and easy-to-clean designs are standard. Many units feature quick-release mechanisms for trough removal to facilitate thorough cleaning.

Is this suitable for wet or sticky products?

While primarily used for dry products, some vibratory conveyors can handle slightly damp products. However, very wet or sticky items may adhere to the trough and reduce conveying efficiency.

Typical context for this category of equipment. Always confirm specifics with the seller.

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 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.

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.
