KMG EMC2 Vibratory conveyor

• Gentle transfer of delicate food products such as snacks, cereals, and baked goods.
• Distribution of bulk ingredients like nuts, seeds, and dried fruit within a processing line.
• Feeding packaging machines with consistent product flow.
• Sorting and screening operations for various food items.

Typical throughput

For this class of equipment, throughput can vary significantly based on product density and desired feed rate, typically ranging from 500 kg/hr to several tonnes/hr.

Power supply

Units of this type commonly operate on a 3-phase electrical supply, typically 400V, 50Hz, with motor power generally between 0.5 kW and 2.2 kW.

Construction material

Vibratory conveyors for food processing are almost exclusively constructed from food-grade stainless steel to meet hygiene standards.

Footprint

The length of vibratory conveyors varies widely; for a unit with a 1600mm trough, the overall footprint will be slightly larger to accommodate the drive system and support frame.

Vibration mechanism

Typically, these conveyors use eccentric weights or electromagnetic drives to create the vibratory motion.

Maintenance requirements

Maintenance is generally low, focusing on regular cleaning, inspection of springs/isolators, and lubrication of drive components if applicable.

• What types of products are best suited for a vibratory conveyor?

  Vibratory conveyors are ideal for dry, granular, free-flowing, and delicate products that require gentle handling and consistent flow without damage.

• How does a vibratory conveyor work?

• Can the speed of product flow be adjusted?

• What are the hygiene considerations for this type of equipment?

• Is this suitable for wet or sticky products?

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.
