Vibrating conveyor for powder and granule handling

Effortlessly convey and process fragile products with precision, minimizing degradation while simultaneously performing functions such as cooling and drying, thanks to advanced vibratory technology.

Conveys and Spreads Fragile Products

The GEA Scan-Vibro Conveyor is designed to gently convey fragile products, making it essential for the chemical, pharmaceutical, and food industries. It utilizes a vibratory motion to minimize product contact with moving parts, ensuring gentle handling of powders, granules, and hygroscopic materials. With the ability to perform conveying, spreading, cooling, and more, the conveyor supports continuous, high-speed operations without product degradation. Fabricated from stainless steel for durability and low maintenance, it complies with EHEDG and USDA Dairy 3-A standards for hygiene. Available in open or closed designs, the conveyor integrates seamlessly into existing production lines and offers bi-directional capabilities with multiple inlets and outlets for flexible manufacturing.

Benefits

  • Minimizes product degradation, preserving quality in fragile materials.
  • Enhances operational efficiency with continuous, high-speed conveyance.
  • Reduces maintenance costs due to robust stainless-steel construction.
  • Supports flexible production setups with bi-directional conveying options.
  • Ensures hygienic transport in compliance with EHEDG and USDA standards.
