Convey-All™/VTC Vibratory Tube Conveyor

Product Overview

Metalfab Convey-All/VTC Vibratory Tube Conveyors provide a way to convey high rates of difficult flowing or friable dry solids materials. Conveyors are available in 4 to 10 ft. lengths and nominally convey up to 400 cu. ft./hr. Engineered with only two moving parts, vibrators and isolators, the conveyors are economical to use, easy to clean, and simple to maintain with virtually no process downtime.

Construction

Standard Units: All metal contact parts are304 stainless steel with 2B mill type finish.

Sanitary Units: All metal contact parts are 304 stainless steel with #4 polish on contact surfaces and Heliarc welds that are crack and crevice free. Epoxy painted exterior carbon steel parts.
Vibrator Motors/Isolators: Two TENV, 230/460V, 3 phase vibrator motors (below mounted vibrator standard; top mounted vibrators available at no extra charge). Four elastomer isolators to isolate energy to conveyor for high conveying rates at low energy consumption.

Available Options

End plate hand nuts; 1/4, 1/3 and 1/2 HP explosion-proof vibrator motors; bolted and gasketed access panel on top of tube; clear plastic end caps; conveyor tube extensions; high temperature items (isolators, spacers for vibrator motors, inlet/outlet sleeves). Consult factory for details.
