Conveyors & Handling Systems

Food-Grade Electromagnetic Vibratory Conveyor

Main function

The food-grade electromagnetic vibratory conveyor is a conveying system designed to transport, dose, or distribute food products using a controlled vibratory motion generated by an electromagnetic actuator.
Unlike belt or chain conveyors, this type of conveyor does not rely on continuous mechanical drive but on a precise vibration of the conveying surface, allowing smooth, consistent, and gentle product transport. An electromagnetic coil generates an alternating magnetic field that creates a controlled oscillation of the conveying surface.
It is particularly suitable for bulk food products that are fragile, sticky, or irregular when flow control and hygiene are priority requirements.

Typical applications

· Transport of bulk food products (snacks, cut products, frozen products, ingredients, etc.)
· Controlled feeding of weighers, sorters, inspection systems, or packaging machines
· Uniform product distribution across the conveying width
· Handling delicate product flows requiring minimal mechanical impact
· Applications requiring precise flow rate regulation

Key benefits

· Precise flow control: The conveying speed can be electronically adjusted by modifying vibration frequency and amplitude, allowing rapid adaptation to throughput changes.
· Design without mechanical transmission: The absence of belts, chains, or gears reduces mechanical wear, maintenance requirements, and unplanned downtime.
· Gentle conveying for fragile products: The vibratory motion minimizes impact and is suitable for products sensitive to crushing or deformation.
· Food-industry compliant design: The construction promotes accessibility for cleaning and meets hygiene requirements for food processing environments.
· Easy integration into existing lines: Vibratory conveyors integrate easily into automated production lines, either as complementary equipment or as a replacement for conventional mechanical conveyors.
