Vibratory distribution conveyor

摘要

A vibratory conveyor has an eccentric shaft drive system mounted at an angle relative to horizontal plane defined by the conveyor deck. Rotation of the drive shafts and associated eccentric weight elements causes a net force to be imparted to the conveyor deck at an angle relative to horizontal plane defined by the deck to convey material forward. The drive shafts are mounted and controlled such that changing the phase angle between the respective drive shafts causes a change in direction of the net force output of the drive system, thereby resulting in a directional or sideways conveying motion.
