Spigot Discharge Vibratory Conveyor
Spigot discharge vibratory conveyors are generally used to provide an even feed onto a multi head weigher; or within a covered system, to provide a hermetically sealed feed to a downstream conveyor or process. They are ideal if your product is particularly free flowing, for example chocolate flake, pellets, lentils, or coffee beans. We have even used them for larger products such sausages.

How do Spigot Discharge Vibratory Conveyors work?
Spigot discharge vibratory conveyors taper to a spigot at the discharge end. This has several significant benefits.
- It enables a sealed connection to a downstream process or conveyor. This is particularly valuable in a dusty environment, for example when conveying cereals, or when a product is particularly sensitive to the environment, hygroscopic products, or irritants.
- It provides enhanced flexibility between two vibratory conveyors and ultra-clean transfers
- Provide an even feed into a multi head weigher
FAQs about Spigot Discharge Vibratory Conveyor
What is the Spigot Discharge Vibratory Conveyor used for?
It ensures a consistent, hermetically sealed feed into downstream equipment, for instance, delivering product evenly onto multi-head weighers or into sealed process lines. Ideal for free-flowing powders and small products like pellets, cereals, chocolate flakes, coffee beans, and even larger items such as sausages.
What materials are the spigot conveyor constructed from, and why does it matter?
Built with a bespoke design to suit your specific application, the conveyor uses 304-grade stainless steel with synergic welding. This combination ensures hygiene, strength, and ease of cleaning, making it both food-safe and durable.
How does the spigot feature improve production hygiene and control?
The tapered design leading to a spigot allows for airtight connections to downstream conveyors or machinery, reducing dust escape and product contamination. It also facilitates ultra-clean transfers and precise feeding.
Is the spigot discharge conveyor energy-efficient and easy to maintain?
Yes, it is designed for ultra-low power consumption, minimal maintenance, and long-lasting reliability. The rugged construction keeps downtime and running costs low.
Can this conveyor be supplied with special features like covers or screens?
Certainly, it can be customised with protective covers or screens to further contain product or suit-specific line layouts. These options enhance versatility while maintaining hygiene standards.
