Which is the best type of vibratory feeder or conveyor for your application? There is a vast array of vibratory feeders and conveyors. So choosing the right one requires a bit of research.

Why so many? The density, moisture content and various other factors concerning each product to be conveyed, causes some to respond well to certain types of vibratory motion, but not to others. Accordingly, depending on the application, feeders and conveyors must produce the right combination of amplitude and frequency. What works well for one product may not work well for another.
