ABOUT GK VIBRATORY CONVEYORS

Versatile, Efficient Material Handling for
Light, Medium, or Heavy-Duty Applications.

More than Just Conveying

Versatile vibratory conveyors by General Kinematics do more than just move materials. The inherent motion of continuously tossing and throwing material forward creates the opportunity to perform one or more processes along the way.

Custom Engineered for you Application

Our highly qualified staff of application engineers and equipment design specialists is always available to help you with value-added custom equipment design services. We focus on custom-engineered solutions, working closely with customers to assure that our vibratory conveyors and other ancillary equipment are precisely tailored to fit the most exacting process requirements.

Dependent upon your application, vibratory conveyors can be engineered and constructed with custom trough designs to handle hot, heavy, and / or abrasive materials in the foundry, steel, cement, recycling, and other industries. Optional materials of construction may include mild or abrasion resistant steel, stainless steel, or special alloys. Special patterns, perforations, and trough thicknesses can also extended via the use of conservative design parameters.

What Makes Vibratory Conveyors Work?

Vibratory conveyors normally consist of the following elements:

A trough of varying length and dimensionality
to carry material.
Mounting base for the conveyor and its machinery.
Stabilizer links that support the conveyor trough
above the base.
Reactor spring system tuned to match drive speed.

Natural frequency conveying moves materials smoothly and efficiently in a gentle series of "throws and catches." Spring systems are custom engineered and tuned to the weight of the conveying trough an material. This produces a system that resonates at the most desired natural frequency. Most important, when the conveyor operates near its natural frequency, more than Nintey Percent of the driving force is provided by the spring system. The eccentric drive provides only the additional energy lost because of friction.

Since each spring functions as an individual drive, all forces are uniformly distributed along the unit. No large destructive stresses appear at the trough connection, and power requirements are kept to a minimum. Equally important, there is a built in compensation for load surges - with smooth, even product flow.
