GWA VST 120x1300mm Vibratory conveyor

• Moving bulk dry goods such as powders, granules, and small components horizontally over short to medium distances.
• Feeding processing machinery with a controlled flow of material in food, chemical, and pharmaceutical industries.
• Distributing products evenly across a width, for example, prior to packaging or further processing.
• Handling delicate products where gentle conveying is required to prevent damage or degradation.

Typical throughput

Varies significantly based on material density and desired feed rate; buyers should consult the seller for specific material handling capabilities.

Power supply

Commonly 3-phase industrial supply, typically 400V, 50Hz in the UK, though single-phase options can exist for smaller units.

Trough dimensions

This unit specifies 120mm width and 1300mm length, which indicates a relatively compact footprint for its class.

Material of construction

Often stainless steel for product contact parts in food/pharma, with mild steel (powder coated as described) for the frame.

Vibration mechanism

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

Adjustability

The powder-coated, height-adjustable frame offers flexibility for integration into existing production lines.

• What types of materials are suitable for this vibratory conveyor?

  Vibratory conveyors are well-suited for a wide range of free-flowing dry materials, including powders, granules, flakes, and small components. They are generally not ideal for sticky, wet, or very fine cohesive powders without specific modifications.

• How does a vibratory conveyor work?

• What are the benefits of using a vibratory conveyor over a belt conveyor?

• Is this unit suitable for food contact applications?

• What maintenance is typically required for a vibratory conveyor?

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.
