Port Royal, PA — The Model 450 Air-Operated Transporter, manufactured by Vibro Industries, is innovatively designed to transport a wide range of materials quietly and efficiently, without the downtime usually attributed to conventional conveying systems. Capable of moving 125 pounds at speeds from 15 to 40 ft/min, it can accept linear scrap from punch presses, lathes and other machine tools, and can also be applied to other conveying applications.
The Model 450 Significantly Reduces Production Downtime
The Model 450 has a total capacity of 170 pounds, plus 60 pounds of tray weight, so multiple trays can be mounted on a single unit to replace several conventional belt conveyors. It is easily adaptable to existing production lines and its lightweight (30 lbs.), compact design enables installation in cramped, congested areas.
The concept driving the Vibro Air-Operated Transporter is a pneumatic cylinder that operates on air pressure to move the product tray back and forth, causing the material to steadily advance. The material advances on the slow-acceleration forward stroke, but remains stationary during the rapid return stroke – ensuring a constant progression. This provides a safe, reliable and effective means of product handling. Eliminating the need for conventional conveyors reduces the downtime typically required for clean-up, maintenance and repair of these types of systems.
Options for the Model 450 include: motion sensors for automatic shutoff, cover guards for harsh environments, quick-release clamps for fast tray removal and adjustable bearing supports for trays.
