Cox & Plant Vibratory Conveyor

• Transporting fragile or irregularly shaped food products without damage.
• Moving dry bulk materials such as grains, powders, or granules in processing lines.
• Distributing products evenly for further processing, such as sorting or packaging.
• Separating fines or unwanted particles from a main product stream.

Typical throughput

Varies significantly based on product density and trough dimensions, commonly ranging from 500 kg/hr to several tonnes/hr for this class of equipment.

Power supply

Typically 400V, 3-phase, 50Hz for industrial applications in the UK, with power requirements depending on conveyor length and load.

Construction material

Commonly stainless steel (grades 304 or 316) for food processing applications, ensuring hygiene and corrosion resistance.

Footprint

Dependent on length and width, but generally requires a linear space plus clearance for the drive mechanism. Buyers should confirm exact dimensions with the seller.

Vibration mechanism

Often driven by unbalanced motors or electromagnetic vibrators, providing controlled directional movement.

Suitable feed sizes

Effective for a wide range of particle sizes, from fine powders to larger discrete items, typically up to 100mm, depending on trough design.

• What are the main advantages of a vibratory conveyor?

  Vibratory conveyors offer gentle product handling, minimal maintenance due to few moving parts, and are easy to clean, making them suitable for hygienic environments.

• Can this conveyor handle different types of products?

• What maintenance is typically required for a vibratory conveyor?

• Is this unit suitable for food contact applications?

• How is the conveying speed controlled?

Buyers typically value conveyor systems for their reliability and longevity when well-maintained. Key considerations when purchasing used units include belt condition, motor functionality, frame integrity, and available spare parts. Industry sentiment emphasises the importance of verifying operational history and cleanliness standards, particularly for food handling applications. Common strengths include robust construction, relatively straightforward maintenance requirements, and cost savings versus new equipment. Reputable manufacturers' models tend to hold their value well and integrate readily into existing production lines.
