Vibratory Conveyors & Scrap Shakers
Benefits of the Low Profile Vibratory Scrap Conveyor include:
- Very Cost Effective
- No Mechanical Springs
- Continuous cyclical motion ensures extremely low maintenance
- No air consumption '" Low noise typically below 70 dbA
- No conveyor belts to fail
- 4.5 metres/minute transport of product
- Swing away & quick release units
- Quick Clamps for fast tray removal
- Maximum weight of Trays '" 30Kg
- Quick clean Trays as demanded in the food industry.
The Vibratory Conveyor is the right unit for linear scrap removal from presses, lathes, machining centres and various items of process equipment. The principle behind the Vibratory Conveyor utilizes the 'table cloth effect' a slow acceleration in the forward stroke (material is transported forward) and a rapid return stroke material will remain stationary), so ensuring movement in one direction only.
Due to its compact design, the Vibratory Conveyor may be installed in confined, congested areas. Unlike many other transporters, shuttles or traditional conveyors, the Vibratory Conveyor does not need to be located in close proximity to the tool. The scrap removal trays can be located close to the 'action' but the Vibratory Conveyor power unit can be a safe distance away.
The Vibratory Conveyor can be used with a long single tray stretching some 10 metres or more depending on width, but is also adaptable for multi-tray installations,such as in the example top right Multiple Trays. The Vibratory Conveyors simple, robust and flexible design ensures safety, reliability, efficiency and cost effective choice.
The Vibratory Conveyor is easily adaptable to meet your requirements. A selection of trays can be mounted on the unit. Common trays can be used for different tools and applications. The length of the trays presents no problem. If using trays over 3 metres, linear bearing supports can be provided.
Optional Features Include:
The Vibratory Conveyor transports parts along an assembly line or removes scrap from beneath machine tools, especially suited where conventional conveyors cannot be used.
Applications include Sheet Metalwork & Press industry, Food, Textiles, Automation, Pharmaceuticals, Agriculture, Machine Tools, Mining, Foundry & Casting work, Confectionery, Packaging, Electrical, Automotive, and associated manufacturing and process industries.
The concept of the electro mechanical Vibratory Conveyor was inspired by the needs of the pressing and blanking industry to have a robust, silent, reliable, safe and effective way to automate material removal. The Vibratory Conveyor utilizes the 'table cloth effect' a slow acceleration in the forward stroke (material is transported forward) and a rapid return stroke (material will remain stationary), so ensuring movement in one direction only. This reduces many inherent problems associated with conventional conveyor systems.
Today, the Vibratory Conveyors can be found in many other applications which are ideally suited for this method of transportation such as in casting, foundry, machine tools and pharmaceutical industries. Many of which have replaced conventional belt conveyors.
