ENHANCEMENT OF THE EFFICIENCY OF SHAKING CONVEYORS

Abstract

The high efficiency of modern production is ensured by properly organized and reliably working means of production transport, through which the movement of raw materials, semi-finished products between technological equipment and objects, waste products is carried out. The known means of moving goods, as a rule, are unilateral. Therefore, the task of engineers-designers is to modernize and improve the existing transport vehicles and create new ones. The accomplishment of the task contributes to increasing the efficiency of the use of vehicles, because they can be used not only for their main operation – transportation, but also for auxiliary technological operations such as drying, feeding, separating, dispensing, etc.

In our opinion, the most effective in this regard, we can include vibration transport vehicles, in which the movement of goods is carried out not as a result of their joint movement with the working body, but because of the vibration of the latter. Proper use of the equipment ensures minimal energy consumption. There are a number of types of shaking conveyors and ways to provide a carrying surface with directional oscillation. Some require special preparation in their service, while others – a constructive improvement. Therefore, in this paper a design of shaking conveyor with combined centers of masses, which operate in detachment mode is proposed. Improving the design of the conveyor provides the possibility of adjusting the angle and changing the direction of tilt of elastic suspension. This implementation enables the widespread use of equipment in various industries and their technological processes.
