Vibratory conveyors are used for material handling purposes in a myriad of diverse industries including the food industry, chemical industry, pharmaceutical industry, mining industry and many more. The following points indicate the benefits that vibratory conveyors bring to the table for industrial users.
Versatility where needed
Essentially, vibratory conveyors are primarily used to transport items. Nevertheless, these conveyors can perform some essential extras when other processes are integrated into the production line. Besides transporting items, vibratory conveyors can help sort, dewater, spread, separate, pellet, and sieve material using multiple decks on a single unit.
An added advantage of vibratory conveyors is that their design can be tailored to align material handling with other machines (e.g. pallet wrappers) in the production line. This way, you can perform many other material handling processes while conveying, saving you time and costs involved in performing different tasks separately.
Low maintenance demand
As compared to conventional belt conveying systems, vibratory conveyors have relatively fewer moving parts. No belts, bearings, motors, pulleys, drive arms, etc. means that you will have less maintenance work to perform. Using reliable drives like electro-magnetic drives and eccentric shaft drives, vibratory conveyors can run steadily to provide smooth conveying, which in turn minimises material deterioration, especially when you are dealing with fragile products.
Since vibratory conveyors are highly reliable machines requiring minimal maintenance attention, you can significantly cut down on loss of production time. Their low-maintenance operation makes them a good investment, especially over the long term.
Sturdy construction
The basic design of vibratory conveyors is often simple, rugged and compact to ensure efficient transportation of bulk products with minimal strain on the system. These mechanical machines are normally installed to move horizontally to maintain a low profile. All these design features make vibratory conveyors suited for conveying hard-to-handle products, particularly where minimal headroom is available.
What is more, vibratory conveyors can be suitably selected for light, medium-duty, or heavy-duty material handling jobs and even operation in hostile conditions, e.g. handling of chemical products.
Quiet operation
Great strides have been made to ensure noise reduction in many modern vibratory feeders. Today's manufacturers have designed a number of ways to curb against this problem. Manufacturers use high-performance drive units to facilitate smooth operation and minimise vibration levels. Acoustic coatings and polyamide bowls can also be used to achieve similar benefits.
As a result, you might not have to spend a lot of money on costly enclosures, which can be limited to noisy parts only.
