VAV Vibratory conveyor

• Used for controlled feeding and conveying of bulk materials in food processing.
• Suitable for handling delicate products requiring gentle transport.
• Often integrated into packaging lines for product distribution.
• Applied in sorting and screening operations for various dry goods.

Typical throughput

Varies significantly based on material density and desired feed rate; buyers should consult the seller for specific performance data.

Power supply

Commonly requires a standard industrial electrical supply, typically 3-phase, though single-phase options exist for smaller units.

Construction material

For this unit, the stainless steel frame indicates suitability for hygienic environments, such as food or pharmaceutical processing.

Footprint

The stated dimensions of 1100mm x 300mm refer to the conveying surface; overall footprint will be slightly larger due to the frame and drive mechanism.

Hopper capacity

The 200L hopper suggests a batch feeding or buffer capacity, useful for maintaining a consistent flow to the conveyor.

Maintenance requirements

Typically low, focusing on regular cleaning, inspection of springs/isolators, and lubrication of motor bearings if applicable.

• What types of materials can this vibratory conveyor handle?

  Vibratory conveyors are well-suited for a wide range of dry, granular, powdered, or small lumpy materials. They are less ideal for sticky or very wet products.

• Is this unit suitable for food contact applications?

• How is the conveying speed adjusted?

• What are the typical installation requirements?

• Can this conveyor handle abrasive materials?

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.
