Vibrating Conveyors

Vibrating conveyors consist of troughs or tubes flexibly supported and vibrated by mechanical or electrical means to convey objects or bulk materials; vibration takes place in an inclined, elliptical pattern to cause directional as well as upward movement of the material.The vibrating conveyor is used extensively where sanitation and low maintenance are paramount; they find applications in food and chemical, rubber, foundry, processing, and more industries. They can readily work under harsh conditions where dirt, heat, and corrosive materials are present.There are two basic types of vibrating conveyors: (1) the natural frequency types (those supported by heavy-duty stiff coil or leaf springs), and (2) forced vibration types (those supported by rocker arms or rods pivoted at the trough and at the base connections).
