Vibratory Conveyor
Alliance Industrial offers Vibratory Conveyor as a unique alternative to traditional belt or plastic chain conveyor. Vibratory Conveyor consists of a stainless steel trough tied to a base containing the actuating mechanism; the trough is declining and the vibration of the trough causes product, debris, etc. to vibrate towards the low end of the unit. A common use of Vibratory Conveyor is for cullet conveyor to dispose of refuse and broken product. Vibratory Conveyor is also good for handling packages and boxes in loading or unloading operations as there is no moving chain or belt to snag on packaging materials and cause tearing or holes.
Vibratory Conveyor is highly durable and low maintenance, making it ideal for heavy duty applications. For example, many glass house operations have a cullet dump at their lehr discharges. This dump chute is used in the event a partial or full furnace load must be recycled back to the furnace. Vibratory conveyor is a perfect match for this application. The stainless steel trough can handle the abuse of thousands of hot bottles dumping into it for days straight without having to worry about belting wearing out, and the use of vibration to convey the glass means that you do not have to worry about a sudden belt break in the middle of the operation.
