Vibrating Conveyors

Vibrating Conveyors
Versatile Movement Carman Vibrating Conveyors can solve your most difficult material handling problems. The versatility of our vibrating conveyors means your bulk materials can be moved at the speed you want, in the volume you need. You’ll get efficient flow rates, low power use and minimum maintenance demands. Carman Vibrating Conveyors are moving foods, chemicals, mined materials, wood products, tobacco, foundry materials, metals... virtually any bulk material you can think of.
Versatile Handling Ability
Carman Vibrating Conveyors will work in hostile environments (inside and outside) and with all types of hard-to-handle materials. High Temperature - Carman conveyors handle high temperature materials to 1000°C, and work in environments to 200°C Severe Impact - Carman’s heavy duty designs will absorb severe impacts routinely. Corrosive Materials - Corrosion resistant conveying troughs are available to provide years of trouble-free service. Abrasive Materials - Abrasive material applications are ideally suited for Carman Vibrating Conveyors. Dust Tight - Carman Vibrating Conveyors can be designed as dust-tight enclosures to coney and process simultaneously. Food Grade - Stainless steel designs with polished internal welds and easily cleanable external surfaces.
Applications

Standard Duty Vibrating Conveyor
Carman Standard Duty Vibrating Conveyors handle light and medium density materials at capacities to 40 TPH and conveying speeds up to 60 FPM. Extruded one-piece fibreglass leaf springs of infinite-life design and a torsion bushed, positive arm drive are standard.
Heavy Duty Vibrating Conveyor
Carman Heavy Duty Vibrating Conveyors will meet the most rugged demands if industry. Capacities exceeding 500 TPH with 90 FPM conveying speeds are possible. Steel coil drive springs and a rubber piston positive arm drive are standard.
Reactive Counterbalance
	The single mass reactive counterbalance shown at left requires very little additional power to operate. It is positively driven and includes isolation springs. This economical design reduces transmitted forces by 85 to 95%.
Dynamic Counterbalance
	The dynamic counterbalance design shown at left consists of a separate spring-mass system identical to the conveyor trough. It is positively driven 180 out-of-phase with trough and effectively cancels 90% of the trough’s dynamic forces.
Dynamic Counterbalance with Isolation
	This design includes a dynamically counterbalanced conveyor mounted on isolation springs. Transmitted reaction forces are reduced by 98%.
Remove Transmitted Vibrations
All Vibrating conveyors generate dynamic reaction forces which will be transmitted into your support structure unless compensated for in conveyor design. Carman offers several types of counterbalance techniques to reduce these transmitted forces.
Foundry Industry
	Poured molds are transferred to a rotary sand/casting separator by this 1.2m wide by 23m long conveyor. Circular discharge eliminates sand spillage and prevents casting blockage.
Foundry Industry
	This 900mm by 6m accumulating conveyor, the first of three in the cooling system, transfers and cools castings at a controlled rate from a shakeout to the cleaning area of a major southern foundry. Heavy duty features include natural frequency steel coil spring system, high temperature pan construction and piston drive.
Forest Products Industry
	A Movable splitter distributes wood chips in adjustable proportions to either of two chip screeners at a 150 TPH capacity. Accurate distribution is assured by the use of a magnetic separator mounted over a stainless steel trough section. This 1.2m wide by 21m long conveyor includes dynamic counterbalancing and isolation to simplify installation and minimise dynamic force transmission to its supporting structure.
Rubber Industry
	This 750mm wide by 11m long water-cooled heavy-duty conveyor efficiently transfers hot, sticky O-ring, oil seal and gasket preps. Polished stainless steel conveying pan minimises sticking. Gas-tight covers and flexible connectors maintain a dry atmosphere which eliminates condensation.
Chemical Industry
	Batch quality is assured by this dynamically counterbalanced 600mm wide by 7m long standard duty conveyor which positively transfers pre-weighed raw materials to either of two mixers using a pneumatically operated dual discharge gate. Easily cleanable dust tight construction includes clamped covers, polished stainless steel product contact surfaces and flexible inlet and outlet connectors.
Chemical Industry
	Senotex-lined 600mm wide by 17m long heavy duty connector is one of two transferring wet, abrasive product from a centrifuge to a fluid-bed dryer without pan wear or product buildup. Lining provides a slick, abrasion and corrosion resistant wearing surface.
Food Industry
	A mid-western bakery transfers bread crumbs to a fluidbed dryer using this 600mm wide by 4m long food grade conveyor. Design features include polished stainless steel product contact surfaces, FDA paint, totally enclosed drive system, rubber isolators and easily cleanable construction.
Food Industry
	Cocoa beans are conveyed through a roasting oven at varying rates by this 1.2m wide by 6m long high temperature conveyor. Heavy duty natural frequency design includes piston drive and frequency inverter for retention control.
