Conveyor Dynamics products

Conveyor Dynamics specializes in the manufacturing of vibratory feeders designed to accommodate a range of material handling needs. These feeders are offered in various sizes from 8 to 20 feet in length and can be customized with different trough designs to suit specific requirements. The design flexibility allows for the inclusion of replaceable wear-resistant liners, dust and fume hoods, removable transition spouts, and load cells, enhancing their versatility and functionality. Built to handle a variety of materials effectively, these vibratory feeders ensure efficient operation in industrial environments. Custom trough configurations are available for unique specifications, making these feeders a versatile solution for diverse material processing applications.

The Casting Accumulator/Cooling Conveyors are engineered to efficiently manage cast production, accommodating up to an hour or more of output and facilitating effective cooling. These systems utilize a clever air flow method where air is directed through a lower plenum and across a bed of castings before being expelled through the top dust hoods. This design allows for the transition and dwell time of the castings to be automatically regulated. The innovative trough design in these units can expand in both length and width, refraining from the need for numerous casting crates. This space-saving solution minimizes forklift traffic and labor associated with moving casting crates, enhancing overall operational efficiency.

Sorting conveyors are engineered to facilitate the easy separation of components from extraneous materials, such as distinguishing cast parts from gates, runners, and sprues. Typically featuring a gull wing design for maintaining separation, these conveyors can be customized for specific applications. They may include multiple lane troughs, curves, and chutes to enhance sorting efficiency. The equipment is characterized by a low or flat vertical stroke, optimizing time for tasks such as auditing, inspection, and sorting. Users can leverage variable speed controls to tailor process and feed rates to accommodate different parts. Furthermore, options such as sound absorption linings and pneumatic or hydraulic side/end gates help minimize noise pollution and allow seamless transition of tote boxes without necessitating a shutdown of the unit.

Transfer Conveyors are specialized material conveying units intended to facilitate seamless movement of products between conveyors or machinery, such as a DIDION Rotary Drum. These systems are designed with an incline conveyor mechanism that ensures a smooth transfer by synchronizing speeds between connected conveyors. The downstream conveyor is typically calibrated to operate at a marginally higher travel rate, enabling efficient directional changes, including 90-degree turns. Such capabilities are essential in maintaining a continuous and uninterrupted flow of materials, which is crucial in industrial settings where precision and timing are vital. These conveyors serve a critical role in optimizing operational efficiency within various automated processes.

Furnace charging feeder conveyors are designed to meter melt stock into electric furnaces or Cupola charging buckets. They are usually mounted on a powered indexing carriage that retracts after the load is discharged. These units are designed to hold a specific amount of material (such as 10 tons) which is weighed via load cells. The crane operator views a large digital readout score board with the weight as the conveyor is being loaded. This provides accurate measuring of each batch of material for precision melt control.
