What kind of capacities can be expected on a differential horizontal motion type conveyor?
Horizontal motion conveyors will generally handle more depth of material but at somewhat lower travel rates compared to other vibrating conveyors. The overall capacity is pretty close to screw conveyors as well in similar widths. Many belt conveyors can move more material because they can run faster. With horizontal motion, different materials with different shear strengths, friction coefficients, and densities will vary both the travel rate and the depth that can be carried. Different pan surfaces and more aggressive drives can move more material or material that is low in shear strength or sticky. For example; “Jello” or uncured rubber cubes would be a challenge.
