Cooling Vibratory Conveyors

How do Cooling Vibratory Conveyors work?

Cooling vibratory conveyors work by arranging for a flow of cooled air to pass through the conveyed product. The product will typically be conveyed along a specially designed trough which incorporates a suitable screen and has provision for a cool air supply..

The design of screens is an art form of its own. It is essential that the screen allows conveyed product to pass over its surface without getting caught in the screen or being abraded by the screen. Careful selection of screening material and assessment of the conveyed product characteristics is vital. Some questions to resolve include – is the product Sticky? Brittle? Friable? Dusty? Oily? Dense? Light? The answers to these questions will inform our recommended screening material and type.

Careful thought needs to be given to the air supply – there needs to be a steady, laminar, supply of cool clean air, directed across the entire width of the conveyor. Our expert designers have a number of airflow models which we use to optimise the cool air feed.
