Vibrating Conveyor-DAHAN Vibration Machinery

What is a vibrating conveyor?

A vibrating conveyor is a type of mechanical conveying system that uses vibrations to move materials along a trough or conveyor pan. Vibrating conveyors are commonly used in industrial settings to transport bulk materials such as powders, granules, or pellets. They are particularly useful for handling materials that are fragile or prone to breakage, as the gentle vibrations prevent excessive impact or compression.

Vibrating conveyors can be customized to fit specific applications, with options for trough size, material type, and vibration frequency. They are versatile and energy-efficient, and require less maintenance than other types of conveyors. They are also a low-noise option for applications where noise levels need to be kept low.

Function of Vibrating Conveyor

The vibrating conveyor uses the vibration of the trough to quickly transport the material in the trough from the inlet to the outlet. It can be used to convey various materials in the form of lumps, granules or powders, at room temperature or high temperature. In addition, materials can also be screened, dehydrated, cooled or dried during the transportation process.

Common features include:

1. Feed: Feed material into processing equipment such as mixers, dryers or packaging machines.

2. Sorting and separating materials: It can be used to sort and separate materials by size or weight. Vibrating motion can help separate stuck-together materials or remove debris or foreign matter.

3. Unloading: used for unloading from the hopper or storage bin. Vibrating motion helps ensure all material is expelled from the container.

4. Conveying materials: Conveying materials from one location to another, such as moving materials from a processing stage to a storage area.

How does a vibrating conveyor work?

The vibrating conveyor uses two vibration motors as the excitation source. Using the principle of self-synchronization, when the vibration motors rotate in the opposite direction for two days, the balance frame at the bottom of the conveyor reciprocates, and the upper conveying is driven by the action of the main vibration spring and the guide leaf spring. The tank vibrates to realize the conveying of materials.

Benefits of Vibrating Conveyor

Gentle Handling

Operate with a gentle, low-impact motion that is ideal for handling fragile or delicate materials that might be damaged by other types of conveyors. The vibration helps to prevent sticking, clumping, or other types of material buildup that can occur with other conveyors.

Versatility

Vibrating conveyors can be used to move a wide range of materials, including powders, granules, pellets, and even irregularly shaped materials. They can also be customized to fit specific applications, with options for trough size, material type, and vibration frequency.

Energy Efficiency

Vibrating conveyors require less energy to operate than other types of conveyors, making them a more energy-efficient option. This is because the vibration motion used to move materials requires less force than other types of mechanical motion.

Low Maintenance

Are relatively simple to operate and require less maintenance than other types of conveyors. They have fewer moving parts, which means there are fewer components that can break down or require replacement.

Noise Reduction

The conveyor has two speeds, fast and slow, to adapt to different requirements for bulk transportation and packaging, which improves the utilization of equipment and gives full play to the multi-purpose performance of one machine.

Precise control

The vibrating conveyor can accurately control the conveying speed and amount of materials to ensure the accuracy of the production process.

Structure of the Vibrating Conveyor

The basic structure of the vibrating conveyor: vibrator, conveying trough (feeding pipe, carrier, tank body) and balance chassis (underframe), main vibration spring and vibration isolation spring, feeding device and unloading device.

1. Vibrator: The exciting force used to generate periodic changes is the power source to maintain the reciprocating motion of the vibrating conveyor. The size of the exciting force directly affects the amplitude of the conveying trough. According to different principles, it can be divided into motor type and electromagnetic type.

2. Conveying trough (feeding pipe, carrier, tank body) and balanced chassis (underframe): they are two vibrating bodies in the vibration system. The conveying trough carries materials and performs reciprocating motion to convey materials. To balance the inertial force of the tank, reduce the dynamic load on the foundation, etc.

3. Main vibration spring and vibration isolation spring: The main vibration spring and vibration isolation spring are the elastic components of the vibration system. Elastic elements sometimes also include link springs that transmit the exciting force. The function of the main vibration spring (resonance spring or energy storage spring) is to make the vibrating conveyor have a suitable near-resonant operating point (ie, frequency ratio), so that the kinetic energy and potential energy of the system vibration can be transformed into each other; the function of the vibration isolation spring is to support The vibration mechanism reduces the dynamic load transmitted to the foundation by the system, etc.

4. Feeding device and unloading device: It is used to control the feeding and discharging of the conveyor, and it is generally connected to the fixed part of the equipment by means of a soft connection.

Available Options

The customization options for vibrating conveyors allow them to be tailored to specific applications, ensuring optimal performance and efficiency. The ability to customize the design of the conveyor makes it a versatile and flexible solution for a wide range of industrial settings.

1. Trough Size: The size of the trough can be customized to fit the dimensions of the materials being transported. A larger trough can be used to transport larger volumes of materials, while a smaller trough can be used for more precise handling.

2. Material Type: The type of material used for the trough can be customized to fit the requirements of the application. Different materials may be used depending on the temperature, abrasiveness, or chemical composition of the materials being transported.

3. Vibration Frequency: The vibration frequency of the conveyor can be adjusted to fit the requirements of the application. Higher frequencies may be used for faster transport, while lower frequencies may be used for more precise handling.

4. Spring System: The spring system used to support the trough can be customized to fit the weight and stiffness of the materials being transported. A stiffer spring system may be used for heavier materials, while a more flexible system may be used for lighter materials.

5. Drive System: The drive system used to generate vibration can be customized to fit the requirements of the application. Different types of drive systems may be used depending on the power source available, the desired vibration frequency, or other factors.

6. Controls: The controls for the conveyor can be customized to fit the requirements of the application. Different types of controls may be used depending on the level of automation required, such as manual controls, programmable logic controllers (PLCs), or computerized systems.

7. Accessories: Various accessories can be added to the vibrating conveyor to enhance its functionality and performance. For example, side walls or covers can be added to contain the materials being transported, while discharge gates or chutes can be added to control the flow of materials.

Difference Between Belt Conveyor And Vibrating Conveyor

Comparison item	Belt conveyors	Vibrating Conveyor
Delivery method	Use flat belts or a series of rollers to move material along a fixed path. Belts or pulleys are driven by motors, which move the conveyor belt.	Vibration is used to move material along a trough or conveyor pan. The trough is mounted on a spring system and driven by an electric motor that causes the trough to vibrate.
Application	Belt conveyors sometimes damage or deform fragile materials due to the pressure or force of the belt or rollers	Uses gentle vibrations to move material, making it a better choice for handling fragile or breakable materials.
How to choose	Typically used for longer distances and heavier materials	Better suited for shorter distances and lighter materials.
