How do Mobile Vibratory Conveyors work?

Mobile vibratory conveyors are typically used where space constraints prevent effective access for cleaning and maintenance. Although KMG vibratory conveyors rarely need maintenance, it still happens sometimes! And in a food environment, access for cleaning and hygiene is essential.

KMG mobile vibratory conveyors can be designed to either to roll or pivot out of position.

A rolling mobile vibratory conveyor will incorporate suitably sized castors, suitable for use in a food factory, positioned to make moving the conveyor as comfortable, safe, and ergonomic as possible. Well considered grab rails and handles are included. In addition, an easy to use locking mechanism is necessary to securely hold the conveyor in place when it is in operation.

A pivoting vibratory conveyor is designed to turn on a single point near its infeed end. The bearings and post are rated to take the load of the conveyor producing a large offset in the centre of gravity. Specification of the bearings also take into account the necessary damping of the movement for smooth and controlled manual operation.
