Vibratory Conveyors

General Kinematics’ Vibratory Conveyors have made their reputation in dependability, stability, and longevity. General Kinematics, a world-leading provider of vibratory equipment and design, began with aspirations of creating a better, more reliable vibrating conveyor that would stand up to the test of time in harsh environments. 

From the very beginning, GK engineers have built out these units using feedback from the field, aiming to eliminate processing, maintenance, and safety issues. Since conceptualization, our engineers have not stopped innovating GK conveyors to stay on the cutting edge of material processing technology. Whether you are processing molten, hot castings, or fine combustible powders, General Kinematics has the right conveyor. 

Conveyors Designed for Any Material You Throw at Them

Would you push a glowing red casting onto a rubber belt? No. How about hot flowing sand onto an apron or metal belt conveyor? Only if you like to sweep. Only one technology meets the demanding environment of a hot and abrasive foundry, and that is vibratory conveyors from General Kinematics. General Kinematic conveyors are made to handle large volumes of a variety of bulk materials. Use to feed, screen, scalp, separate, blend, cool, dry, grade, or spread while conveying, from sand to casting.

More Than Just Conveying

Versatile vibratory conveyors from General Kinematics do more than just move materials. The inherent motion of continuously tossing and throwing material forward creates the opportunity to perform one or more processes along the way. Depending upon your application, conveyors can be engineered and constructed with custom trough designs to handle hot, heavy, and/or abrasive materials in the foundry, including sand, sprue, castings, and dross. Conveyors can be constructed using a variety of materials, including mild or abrasion-resistant steel, stainless steel, or special alloys. Special patterns, perforations, and trough thickness can also be specified to meet your application needs. Customize your conveyor to efficiently meet industry standards, company processes, or to control feed rates for your product.

GK Vibratory Conveyor Benefits

SUPER-DUTY DESIGN: Experience very little maintenance and downtime with the super-duty design of GK vibratory conveyors. GK’s durable conveyors excel in foundry applications with more safety than ever. Whether you are looking for light, medium, or heavy-duty usage, these low-maintenance machines will continue to perform to full capacity. Should something need replacing, parts are easy to find available and replace with GK’s Parts team.

EFFICIENT DRIVE SYSTEM: Conveyors with GK’s signature coil spring drive, SYNCRO-CUSHION™,  require less horsepower to start the machine. Less horsepower required means a smaller motor, and a smaller motor means less electrical consumption and more energy savings. With minimal energy consumption, you can focus more on your product and less on a financial bottom line.

MINIMAL ENERGY USE: GK Conveyors are designed using the principle of natural frequency. This design technique uses the harmonics of the machine to store and release energy through the spring system. This means once the machine is running, it requires almost no energy to operate. GK’s consistent energy savings provides a stable solution for your business.
