AIR-OPERATED TRANSPORTER QUIETLY MOVES 125 LBS OF MATERIAL
AT VARIABLE SPEEDS OF 15 TO 40 FEET PER MINUTE
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 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.
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.
Vibro Industries, headquartered in Port Royal, PA, manufactures
a premium line of Air-Operated Transporters — the only transporter
line that is 100% air operated and 100% American made. Leroy Johnson,
president, introduced the first Vibro Air-Operated Transporter
in 1985, following 12 years of extensive experimentation and rigorous
testing. Since that time, Vibro Air-Operated Transporters have
been successfully applied to a long list of manufacturing applications
around the world.
