Small Conveyor Equipment (Linear Conveyors)


Advantages of the AViTEQ small conveying equipmentAViTEQ small-scale conveying equipment is used everywhere fine-grained bulk materials and not too unwieldy mass parts must be delivered, conveyed, dosed, added or assigned from storage tanks. AViTEQ has led the way in producing these devices and drives in Europe for more than 50 years. They are employed in many branches of industry, e.g. in the chemical and plastics industry, the feedstuffs industry, industrial stones and earth, installation and handling technology, the food and luxury goods industry, the paper industry, as well as in sugar works, refineries and foundries

  • High level of conveying capacity with compact dimensions
  • Operationally safe in continuous employment
  • Synchronized two-mass vibration system
  • No influencing of the conveying speed with different loading of the user device (conduit, trough, rail).
  • Maintenance-free drive
  • Conformity with all EC Guidelines which affect the drives
  • Also available for explosion-endangered spaces (ATEX; 94/9/EG), as well as for 60 Hz power systems and other mains voltages

Structure and operating mode

Small-scale conveyor equipment is based on synchronized two-mass vibration systems which are tuned close to resonant condition. The drive part includes the elements for vibration generation, such as electromagnet and leaf spring packages. The vibration amplitude (double amplitude) defines the maximum height of the microthrow and thus the theoretically possible conveying speed. The actual flow rate with bulk material conveying is basically influenced by the conveying cross section, the settled-material density and the conveyability of the bulk material. The small conveying drive is connected with the working device, such as conduit, trough or rail, such that it is easily detachable. Optimal layout design and coordination of the two-mass vibration system guarantee conveying characteristics which are uniform and independent of the working device loading. The small conveying drive is supported on rubber dampers. Vibrations are thus hardly transmitted to the environment.

Drive selection

In the selection of the drive, effective weight is to be considered, particularly the weight of the user device Þ to be screwed on securely. The weight of the material conveyed is itself negligible in the case of the synchronized AViTEQ small conveying drives!! If the effective weight of the series coordination deviates (see table "Effective Weight"), then this must be included with the order, or be made available at the construction site. The maximum admissible effective weight should not be exceeded.

 

 

With reference to the respective area of application, the product range includes 4 groups:

  1. The group (Type KR-2; KF 1; KF 6; KF 12) is particularly suitable for the discharge and conveying of bulk material, e.g. for the addition of components in mixing installations. The small conveying drive is provided with a corresponding trough or pipe for this purpose.
  2. The Types eKF 1, eKF 6 and eKF 12 are examined vibration feeder drives for use in potentially explosive atmospheres certificated accordingly to ATEX-Directive 94/9/EG.
  3. The group (Type KF 0,3; KF 0,5; KF 0,7; KF 0,9) serves mainly as a drive of rails for the conveying of arranged parts, e.g. as transport or backed-up route sections between parts conveyor and downstream equipment and/or machine. In this case, a conveying rail is used on the small conveying drive, which is adapted exactly to the part to be transported.
  4. A variant of the group KF 0,3 to KF 0,9 is the "CR" design implementation e.g. for employment in the food or pharmaceuticals industry. These small conveying drives do not have any painted parts, they are easy to clean, resistant to ultraviolet light, alcohol and formalin, as well as suitable for the sterile sector. They are thus also provided with a trough or pipe for the conveying of bulk material.

Notes for the employment of construction-site finished working devices

  • The bending and torsion-resistant design of the working device is a prerequisite for trouble-free functioning of small-scale conveyor equipment. In case of construction it is thus to be absolutely ensured that thin plates and low side panel heights (trough) corner edges or other bracings are provided in the case of large plate field dimensions.
  • In case of exceeding the maximum value for the effective weight, the vibration amplitude of the drive must be reduced!

Standard working devices (length/width/height in mm) are available from storage.
