Triple S Dynamics - Form / Function for Vibratory Conveyors
The key to horizontal motion conveying is the action of the conveyor upon the inertia of the conveyed materials. During the slow advance of the conveyor’s cycle, material is at a relative rest on the conveying surface. The quick return segment of the cycle gently slides the conveying surface under the material bed. Repeating this cycle 200 – 300 times per minute serves to smoothly convey the material up to forty feet per minute along the length of the conveying surface.
Benefits of this motion include:
- Discourages build-up of materials on the surface
- Typically scours the pan clean so there’s less time required between production cycles for cleaning
- Exterior surfaces of the conveyor can be easily accessed for wipe down cleaning
- Cleaning under the conveyor is easier because typically there are no support frames or springs
- Mechanical simplicity over screws or drag conveyors.
- Requires significantly less maintenance.
- Safer conveying with no chains, screws, sprockets, rollers, idlers, or other moving parts located outside of the sealed and guarded drive unit
Based on its unique design that features a self-contained drive unit that has no outbound moving parts, the horizontal motion conveyor is virtually maintenance-free. Compared to conventional vibrating conveyors, powered by springs and convey material through impact on the conveyed material, the horizontal motion conveyor provides gentle transportation. And based on its relatively slow rotational speed, a typical drive unit will usually deliver more than ten years of life between service intervals, with only periodic lubrication required. Finally, since these conveyors utilize no springs or counterweights, they do not require the periodic tuning that is part of an ongoing maintenance program for conventional vibrating systems.
For materials that require transportation without compaction or segregation, the horizontal motion conveyor provides an ideal system. The “en masse” conveying method provided by the horizontal motion assures that mixtures will be delivered as originally blended, and fine particles will remain evenly distributed throughout the entire product bed – meaning retention of seasonings, coatings and breadings; prevention of oily fines build-up; and elimination of food product segregation.
