Grading Vibratory Conveyor

Grading Vibratory Conveyor

Grading vibratory conveyors are used to safely and hygienically separate product by size. As part of your manufacturing process it can be desirable to grade and separate undersize and oversize product. A KMG grading vibratory conveyor will be designed to use a suitable mesh or screen. This could be punched holes, bars, mesh or proprietary screens. A machine like this will always be designed and built to your specification, using our decades of grading experience.
Flavour Feed Vibratory Conveyor

Flavour Feed Vibratory Conveyor

The Flavour Feed Vibratory Conveyor, also known as the scarf feeder, is an extremely important component in the realm of snack food production. This unassuming yet indispensable machine plays a critical role in conveying seasoning or salt powder into the flavour drum, ensuring consistent and precise flavour application. This machine efficiently contributes to the production of perfectly seasoned snacks and it’s exactly what you need to make your snacks taste perfect.
Weigher Feed Vibratory Conveyor

Weigher Feed Vibratory Conveyor

KMG weigher feed vibratory conveyors are used to give manufacturers a controlled feed of product on to the multi-head weigher. KMG Systems design and manufacture weigher feed vibratory conveyors specifically for the food industry. With our 50 years of experience, we design our equipment to be hygienic, easy to clean and easy to maintain. We know that you will be operating to the highest hygiene standards and we take that into account with our designs.
FlowWeigher™

FlowWeigher™

The KMG FlowWeigher™, a vibratory flow rate measuring system, is engineered to address precision and accuracy to ensure product quality and optimise manufacturing processes with ground-breaking technology. It stands out as the only system that integrates a load cell directly beneath the vibratory tray that holds the product. This patented innovation enables the real-time measurement of the flow rate of even very light materials with exceptional accuracy.
Spigot Discharge Vibratory Conveyor

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.
Cooling Vibratory Conveyors

Cooling Vibratory Conveyors

Cooling vibratory conveyors are designed to cool product as it passes over the screen. The vibratory conveyor pictured has spigots incorporated in order to provide a flow of cooled air over the product. Other designs incorporate fans or vents. The number of spigots would depend on the size of the trough, volume of product and the degree of cooling required.
Spreader Vibratory Conveyor

Spreader Vibratory Conveyor

Spreader vibratory conveyors are designed to provide an even feed of conveyed product to downstream equipment which is typically a freezer or drier. The KMG Spreader vibratory conveyor will gently and efficiently transform a deep bed depth into a single layer of spread product. These conveyors can incorporate additional functionality including sieving, grading, screening and dewatering. They are ideal for use with cereals and snack products.
Mobile Vibratory Conveyors

Mobile Vibratory Conveyors

Sometimes space constraints can make a mobile vibratory conveyor an attractive option. Where access for maintenance or cleaning is limited, having a mobile vibratory conveyor can be a very effective solution. KMG mobile vibratory conveyors are designed to safely move in and out of their docking position. They are ergonomically designed for ease of use, with manual handling considerations as one of the main design considerations.

Choose KMG Vibratory Conveyors

vibratory conveyors

We consider our vibratory conveyors to be the building block which we use to build our seasoning and distribution systems. These systems safely and hygienically transport base product from process to seasoning and then on to packaging. We also offer special purpose machines which can be used for screening, dewatering, laning or fines removal Our integrated systems are renowned for excellent performance and our project management team liaise with you to ensure that the system which we deliver perfectly matches your needs and expectation. Our conveyors are either electro-magnetically or mechanically driven, depending on the base product characteristics and our experienced sales team will be able to offer the best system for your unique requirements.

High Quality Manufacture

All KMG equipment is designed and manufactured at our premises in the UK. The pan is manufactured from stainless steel, usually 304 grade although we can offer 316 for special products. The base and supports would be made either from mild steel (we would recommend this for packing areas and anywhere that isn’t washed down) or stainless steel which is ideal for seasoning areas which are frequently washed down. We can also meet your needs for inclined conveyors, achieving an uphill conveying angle up to 4 degree. Our vibratory conveyors run at natural frequency which means that they use less energy than a traditional lightbulb.

Our machines are designed to meet the strict hygiene standards required by the snacks, cereals and petfood industries. They are also robust enough to last for decades with minimal maintenance and service required. We manufacture most of our spares in house so we can guarantee to supply you promptly.

Expert Engineering Design

We start with our team of expert engineering designers who develop a details 3D model, taking into account the 4 pillars of the KMG Design Strategy. After receiving customer approval, the engineering designer issues detailed drawings to the workshop. KMG has invested in a wide range of capital equipment including sheet lasers, tube laser, MIG, TIG and laser welding sets, press brakes, CNC lathe and CNC mill. Sheet steel is laser cut and folded, and then welded together with in-house machined components to produce a completed machine. Our rigorous quality control checks mean all of our conveyors leave KMG in excellent condition. We like to keep control of the manufacturing process so that we can ensure on time delivery.

Our experienced designers know what to look for when designing our equipment. We take into account the bulk density of the conveyed product plus any special characteristic – is it sticky, dusty, dense, friable or brittle? We have the experience to incorporate ATEX and our in house control cabinets are all appropriately IP rated. If necessary we will incorporate inclined vibratory conveyors in order to gain some height or allow them to feed into each other without losing height. We also consider what happens to the product upstream and downstream from our system – will you require in-line storage? If you are interested in storage, have a look at our blog. Our in house automation software will integrate seamlessly with your process or packing equipment to ensure a smooth flow through your factory.

Safe and Hygienic

KMG Systems provide a safe and hygienic way to distribute large quantities of product through your snack manufacturing process. Our systems help to increase your productivity, as well as the quality of your overall product. We design our systems to be low energy, silent in operation, and cost-effective.

KMG is the global leader in the design of conveying and seasoning systems for the food industry. We have 50 years of experience and the best engineers in the industry. As vibratory conveyor manufacturers, we pride ourselves on our high quality, high performance equipment.

FAQs about Vibratory Conveyors

What are vibratory conveyors, and how do they work?
Vibratory conveyors use controlled vibrations to move materials along a path. These vibrations are generated by an unbalanced motor or drive, causing the material to move forward in a smooth, controlled manner.
