Polar Systems Vibratory Conveyor

Applications & Use Cases

• Gentle transfer of delicate food products such as fruits, vegetables, and confectionery.
• Spreading and aligning products for further processing steps like inspection or packaging.
• Dewatering or de-oiling products by allowing liquids to drain through a perforated pan.
• Feeding multihead weighers or other dosing equipment with consistent product flow.

Typical Specifications

Typical throughput

For this class of equipment, throughput can vary significantly based on product density and desired transfer rate, commonly ranging from 500 kg/hr to 3000 kg/hr.

Power supply

Vibratory conveyors typically operate on a 3-phase electrical supply, commonly 400V, 50Hz in the UK.

Construction material

Units for food processing are almost exclusively constructed from stainless steel for hygiene and corrosion resistance.

Footprint

While specific dimensions vary, vibratory conveyors of this type commonly have a pan width between 200mm and 600mm, and lengths from 1000mm to 4000mm.

Vibration control

Adjustable vibration controls are commonly found, allowing for optimisation of product flow and gentle handling.

Maintenance requirements

Maintenance typically involves checking motor mounts, spring condition, and ensuring cleanliness, particularly for food contact surfaces.
