Cox & Plant Vibratory Conveyor

• Transporting fragile or irregular-shaped food products without damage.
• Distributing bulk materials evenly to processing lines.
• Screening and separating fines from larger product streams.
• Cooling or drying products through air circulation during transport.
• Feeding multihead weighers or packaging machinery.

Typical throughput

Varies significantly based on product density and desired feed rate; for this class of equipment, typically suitable for low to medium volume applications.

Power supply

Commonly 400V, 3-phase, 50Hz for industrial applications in the UK, though smaller units might use single-phase.

Construction material

Typically stainless steel for food processing applications, ensuring hygiene and corrosion resistance.

Footprint

Relatively compact for its conveying length, often designed for integration into existing lines.

Suitable feed sizes

Capable of handling a wide range of particle sizes, from powders to small bulk items, depending on bed design.

Maintenance requirements

Generally low, primarily involving inspection of springs, drives, and ensuring cleanliness.

• What products are best suited for a vibratory conveyor?

  Vibratory conveyors are ideal for granular products, powders, fragile items, and products requiring gentle handling or even distribution. They are less suitable for sticky or very wet materials.

• How does a vibratory conveyor work?

• Can this type of conveyor be used for cooling or drying?

• What are the advantages of a vibratory conveyor over a belt conveyor?

• Is this unit suitable for washdown environments?

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.
