Vibtec Vibratory conveyor

• Gentle transfer of delicate food products such as cereals, snacks, or fresh produce.
• Distribution of ingredients within a processing line, ensuring even spread.
• Dewatering or de-oiling applications for products like fried snacks or washed vegetables.
• Feeding multi-head weighers or packaging machines with consistent product flow.
• Sorting and separating based on size or density when combined with screens.

Typical throughput

For this class of equipment, throughput commonly ranges from 500 kg/hr to 3,000 kg/hr, depending on product density and desired transfer speed.

Power supply

Units of this type commonly operate on single-phase (230V) or three-phase (400V) electrical supplies, with the listed unit being single-phase.

Construction material

Vibratory conveyors in food processing are typically constructed from food-grade stainless steel (e.g., 304 or 316) for hygiene and corrosion resistance.

Footprint

The overall footprint for mobile vibratory conveyors commonly varies, but the conveying surface typically ranges from 1m to 3m in length and 150mm to 500mm in width.

Vibration mechanism

These units commonly utilise electromagnetic vibrators or unbalanced motor drives to create the conveying action.

Maintenance requirements

Maintenance for vibratory conveyors typically involves checking motor bearings, spring elements, and ensuring all fasteners are secure.

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

  Vibratory conveyors are ideal for dry, granular, or delicate products that require gentle handling and consistent flow, such as cereals, nuts, seeds, and certain fresh produce.

• Can this conveyor be used for liquids or very sticky products?

• What are the benefits of a mobile frame for this type of equipment?

• How easy is it to clean a vibratory conveyor?

• What safety features should I look for?

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.
