VIBRATORY CONVEYORS
Advantages at a Glance
- Low-Maintenance & Continuous Operation: Because there are few moving parts, vibratory conveyors require minimal maintenance. They can help ensure your production line continuously operates over extended periods.
- Gentle and Even Conveying: Vibratory conveyors can ensure the risk of product damage remains low.
- Wide Variety of Applications: Vibratory conveyors can be optimized for various materials and flow rates. Grains? Yes. Logs? Yes. Green woodchips? Yes.
- Solid Construction: The conveyors are robustly built, enhancing their durability and longevity in demanding environments.
BioMass Materials
VibraPro’s vibratory conveyors are designed to accommodate a diverse range of materials. For example, their adaptability extends across wood products, recycling, industrial manufacturing, biomass, hemp, cannabis, and agriculture, among other industries. Our conveyors cater to a broad spectrum of material-handling needs.
Three Classes
Light Duty
VibraPro Light Duty Conveyors come equipped with carbon fiber Leaf Spring Plates that provide support and movement. With Trough pan thickness ranging from 1/8" to 1/4". Lighter duty performance comes with 12" to 30" width. Available in both balanced and unbalanced.
Medium Duty
VibraPro Medium Duty Conveyors are equipped with thicker metal leaf springs that absorb and help propel the trough. Trough pan thickness range from 1/8" to 3/8" with pan widths of 12" to 20'. Available in both balanced and unbalanced.
Heavy Duty
VibraPro Heavy Duty Conveyors come equipped with coil sprigs and arms for greater support and increased force transfer. Conveyor pan thickness can range from 1/4" -1/2", with custom thickness available. Trough width range from18" to 20'. Available in both balanced and unbalanced.

Balanced vs Unbalanced Conveyors
Balanced
Unbalanced
Unbalanced
Balanced vibrating conveyors have a greater mass frame that is isolated from the customer’s main support structure. The heavier frame softens the reaction forces that are created from the motion of the conveyor trough. The reduced motion of the conveyor frame is then isolated from the surrounding structure.
The trough is mounted to the frame using several springs, typically fiberglass (light duty) or coil (heavy duty), and driven using a belt-driven, shaft-mounted eccentric drive connection to the conveyor trough. Conveyors are tuned with the number of springs to run at a specific speed and the eccentric drive connection controls the amount of throw. An elastomeric coupling between the eccentric and the trough helps to reduce the power requirements to run the conveyor and protect the trough connection from stresses that could bring on failure.
These units are useful for screening, classifying, fluidizing, and de-watering. Maintenance on this conveyor is periodic bearing lubrication, belt inspection, and overall unit inspection.

Unbalanced vibrating conveyors are required to be mounted securely to a solid structure, typically a customer’s concrete slab that can absorb the reaction forces that are created from the motion of the conveyor trough.
The trough is mounted to the anchored frame using several springs, typically fiberglass (light duty) or coil (heavy duty), and driven using a belt-driven, shaft-mounted eccentric drive connection to the conveyor trough. Conveyors are tuned with the number of springs to run at a specific speed and the eccentric drive connection controls the amount of throw. An elastomeric coupling between the eccentric and the trough helps to reduce the power requirements to run the conveyor and protect the trough connection from stresses that could induce failure.
