Product Overview |
|
The Vibratory Conveyor is the right unit for linear scrap removal from presses, lathes, machining centres and various items of process equipment. The principle behind the Vibratory Conveyor utilizes the ‘table cloth effect’ a slow acceleration in the forward stroke (material is transported forward) and a rapid return stroke (material will remain stationary), so ensuring movement in one direction only.
Due to its compact design, the
Vibratory Conveyor may be installed in confined, congested areas. Unlike many other transporters, shuttles or traditional conveyors, the Vibratory Conveyor does not need to be located in close proximity to the tool. The scrap removal trays can be located close to the ‘action’ but the Vibratory Conveyor power unit can be a safe distance away.
The
Vibratory Conveyor can be used with a long single tray stretching some 10 metres or more depending on width, but is also adaptable for multi-tray installations, such as in the Baxi example. The Vibratory Conveyors simple, robust and flexible design ensures safety, reliability, efficiency and cost effective choice.
The
Vibratory Conveyor is easily adaptable to meet your requirements. A selection of trays can be mounted on the unit. Common trays can be used for different tools and applications. The length of the trays presents no problem. If using trays over 3 metres, linear bearing supports can be provided.

The
Vibratory Conveyor transports parts along an assembly line or removes scrap from beneath machine tools, especially suited where conventional conveyors cannot be used.
Applications include Sheet Metalwork & Press industry, Food, Textiles, Automation, Pharmaceuticals, Agriculture, Machine Tools, Mining, Foundry & Casting work, Confectionery, Packaging, Electrical, Automotive, and associated manufacturing and process industries.
The concept of the electro mechanical Vibratory Conveyor was inspired by the needs of the pressing and blanking industry to have a robust, silent, reliable, safe and effective way to automate material removal. The Vibratory Conveyor utilizes the ‘table cloth effect’ a slow acceleration in the forward stroke (material is transported forward) and a rapid return stroke (material will remain stationary), so ensuring movement in one direction only. This reduces many inherent problems associated with conventional conveyor systems.
The electro-mechanical Vibratory Conveyors are a compact and robust unit, which were originally designed to remove scrap/parts from the underside of press tools.
Today, the
Vibratory Conveyors can be found in many other applications which are ideally suited for this method of transportation such as in casting, foundry, machine tools and pharmaceutical industries. Many of which have replaced conventional belt conveyors.

Baxi Potterton, Lancashire
Baxi Potterton – Because of limited space under the press tool, production was stopped every 30 minutes to empty scrap trays. Using the
Vibratory Conveyor this downtime has been eliminated, increasing production by nearly 20%. Staff are impressed by the Vibratory Conveyor, its ease of use and speedy tray removal during tool changing.
Denso Manufacturing, Yorkshire
Denso Manufacturing are using
Vibratory Conveyor with 4 trays located beneath a shallow tool. Benefits include reliability, low noise and more cost effective over the Pneumatic type used in the past. Denso employ two Vibratory Conveyor. One for scrap transportation forward and one in reverse.
Due to the Vibratory Conveyor being an Electro/Mechanical device it is clean, quiet and very robust, which in a press shop environment is very important. One typical application allows the vibratory conveyor to employ two trays at different heights, giving the option of the component being removed on the bottom tray and the scrap on the top tray.
The Vibratory Conveyor unit may be inverted to allow the scrap tray to be located in difficult to position areas of the press tool. This flexibility has endeared itself to engineers in the automotive industry, who have found scrap removal a particular problem in the past.
Due to the Electro/Mechanical Vibratory Conveyor being so robust, it's uptime frees up valuable time for service and toolmaker personnel to concentrate on more pressing activities
