iBulk Carrier Vimec Conveyor
Carrier vibrating conveyors provide a cost-effective and efficient way to gently move bulk solids. They are customisable to handle a wide range of products, from light and fragile to heavy and abrasive. These conveyors can perform various functions, such as conveying, drying, cooling, screening, quenching, dewatering, orienting, accumulating, separating, distributing, and more.
Our vibrating conveyors are designed with a natural frequency system that is highly efficient and reliable. This design utilises a specialised drive tuned in resonance with the spring-supported weight system, allowing the springs to store and release most of the drive energy. Once in motion, the natural frequency keeps the conveyor in constant motion, and the uniform spacing of the springs ensures an even distribution of drive forces when loaded. This design enables conveyors over 120m to operate on a single drive, offering a cost-effective solution. Our conveyors are designed to meet your specific needs, proven to be reliable, and easy to maintain.

Natural Frequency Conveyors vs Brute Force Conveying
Superior Efficiency
Carrier vibrating conveyors utilize a natural frequency design that significantly outperforms brute force methods. This design uses a specialized drive tuned in resonance with the spring-supported weight system, allowing the springs to store and release most of the drive energy. As a result, these conveyors are highly energy-efficient and able to operate units in excess of 100 meters on a single drive.
Gentle Material Handling
Unlike brute force methods that may damage delicate products, Carrier vibrating conveyors provide gentle handling of fragile materials. This makes them suitable for a wide range of industries, including food processing and pharmaceuticals, where product integrity is crucial.
Multifunctional Capabilities
Carrier vibrating conveyors offer versatility that surpasses traditional brute force conveying. These units can simultaneously convey, dry, cool, scalp, screen, quench, dewater, orient, accumulate, separate, and distribute materials. This multifunctionality eliminates the need for multiple pieces of equipment, saving space and reducing overall system complexity.
Enhanced Material Flow
The vibrating action of these conveyors helps prevent material bridging and clumping, which can be problematic with brute force methods. This is particularly beneficial for handling sluggish, sticky, or clumping materials.
Low Maintenance and Long Lifespan
Compared to brute force conveying systems, Carrier vibrating conveyors have fewer moving parts and easily cleanable surfaces. This design leads to reduced maintenance requirements and a longer operational lifespan, resulting in lower total cost of ownership.
Customization and Adaptability
Carrier vibrating conveyors can be custom-engineered to handle a wide range of materials and operating conditions. They can be designed for high-temperature applications handling materials up to 1100 °C, fitted with dust-tight construction, or equipped with clean-in-place (CIP) systems for sanitary applications. This level of customization is often not possible with brute-force conveying methods.
By offering these advantages, Carrier vibrating conveyors provide a more efficient, versatile, and cost-effective solution for material handling compared to traditional brute force conveying methods.
