Velocan

Tubos Vibratórios

Para transporte enclausurado de materiais a granel, são opções mais ecônomicas comparadas às calhas com tampa. Transportam até 100 m³/h de material seco com boas condições de escoamento.

Introduction

VELOCAN vibrating conveyor tubes driven by electromechanical VIMOT vibrators are mainly used for conveying or metering bulk materials, overcoming distances of up to 7 m or more when combined in groups, forming conveying lines. They can operate on a constant, temporary, or intermittent basis according to needs, conveying especially those materials with a high concentration of fine or powdery particles.

It is usually desired to eliminate the propagation of these particles, so a closed and sealed construction of the pipe is recommended.

The VELOCAN tubes are subjected to linear vibrations under a certain angle of inclination caused by the VIMOT vibrators, activating the product in the tube to be transported by means of micro jumps. These jumps produce a smooth movement, without excessive abrasion.

The oscillation of the tube (double amplitude) is in the order of 4 to 10mm and the conveying velocity varies between 25 and 30cm/s. The conveying speed can be regulated by convenient positioning of the inertial masses of the vibrators (see Vimot).

Below is an example of the application of vibrating tubes for feeding a conveyor belt.
