Vibrationsförderer

Vibrationsförderer, also known as vibratory feeders or vibratory conveyors, are mechanical devices used to transport loose bulk materials. They operate by imparting a controlled vibration to a trough or pan, which in turn causes the material to move along the surface. This motion is typically a combination of forward and upward, followed by a backward and downward stroke, resulting in a net displacement of the material in the desired direction.

The vibration is usually generated by an unbalanced motor or a mechanical eccentric drive. The frequency and amplitude of the vibration are adjustable, allowing for precise control over the speed and volume of material flow. This makes vibrationsförderer suitable for a wide range of applications, including feeding, screening, cooling, and drying of various materials like powders, granules, and small parts.

These devices are commonly employed in industries such as manufacturing, mining, food processing, and pharmaceuticals. Their simple construction, reliability, and ability to handle delicate or abrasive materials make them a popular choice for material handling. Vibrationsförderer can be designed in various configurations, including open troughs, enclosed tubes, and screens, depending on the specific requirements of the application. Their maintenance is generally straightforward, contributing to their widespread use in automated production lines.
