Our modular vibrating conveyors offer an extremely efficient, multi-functional method of conveying and processing different sized bulk materials, including larger and longer pieces of processed wood. Their design ensures consistently high conveying speeds even under high loads. Bruks vibrating conveyor Vibrating conveyors can form part of complex processing facilities and are easily customized to meet varying needs. They are ideally paired with our Bruks screening systems. Integral screens are often incorporated into a conveying system and can efficiently separate over-sized or fine particles during material transfer. In some cases they eliminate the need for separate screening units entirely. Vibrating conveyors are particularly popular for use with horizontal drum chippers and can be specified for use with gravity-fed versions. They can also be fitted with a built-in metal detector or heating rods for operation in extremely cold environments. Bruks vibrating conveyor vibor screen LONG AND SHORT WOOD HANDLED WITH EASE Most often used in sawmills, pulp and board mills as well as in bio-fuel applications, Bruks vibrating conveyors are available in a light, medium and heavy-duty design. They can easily accommodate long and short wood such as logs, slabs, edgings, trim-ends, chips, sawdust and bark, and can transport materials in parallel without mixing them. TAILORED FOR EACH APPLICATION Vibrating conveyors are tailored for each application to deliver the best possible operational performance. vibrating conveyor bruks siwertell Guide fins in the trough bottom help to orient material so that short wood waste, for example, has a better chance of being chipped properly, improving chip quality. Infeed conveyors can be equipped with a capacity control that reacts to the chipper s motor load. MINIMAL MAINTENANCE REQUIREMENTS Vibrating conveyors require very little maintenance. Their troughs are supported by springs that vibrate as a result of a crank shaft with single or multiple connecting rods. These steel or fiber-glass springs provide a long service life and low maintenance requirements. They also have flexible, tough attachments for smooth starts and stops. The simple operation of these conveyors provides a smooth, leveled-out material distribution due to the vibrations. Material enters the conveyor and spreads evenly without high-impact forces. Balanced and unbalanced designs are available, depending on cost and foundation requirements. A robust, concrete foundation or on-board counterweight balances the dynamic forces generated by the vibrating equipment.

This is why we have developed conveying systems that use air-cushion technology, as well as offering our time-tested idler belt and drag chain conveyors. Our innovative air-supported conveyor range includes the Tubulator and The belt conveyor .In addition to offering some of the most performance-proven conveying technology on the market, Bruks Siwertell continuously looks to enhance and develop its conveying systems to ensure that it always delivers an effective solution that maximizes efficiency and economically suits an operator s needs. Although the air-delivery system and operating profile is different for both conveyors, they each capitalize on the benefits of low-friction conveying, delivering reduced operating and maintenance costs, with zero dust emissions and minimal material losses.

Screening and screening machines are a vital component in bulk material handling and wood processing. Screening equipment ensures a consistent size and quality in end products and removes fines and other unwanted pieces from the wood chip supply chain, making onward processing more efficient. SCREENING MACHINERY ENHANCES MANUFACTURING EFFICIENCY Bruks Siwertell offers a number of screening options depending on processing needs. By ensuring that oversized pieces are separated from a load, or during the process of manufacture, our screening systems can eliminate material handling problems and any unnecessary downstream damage or inefficiency to wood-processing equipment or other machinery. Our effective screening equipment maximizes a wood-processing plant s yield by minimizing losses and optimizing production efficiency. This includes our widely used vibratory screening equipment. SHAKING THE WASTE FROM THE LOAD Vibratory screening machines actively sort wood particles as they are conveyed onto a vibrating deck. This has a mesh base with pre-determined screen perforations. As this base vibrates, wood particles fall through the perforations. They are either the desired end product, or are the unwanted wood fractions that can be used for other purposes. For example, sawdust can easily be sifted from other wood products, like wood chips, and can then be collected for use in the production of compressed biomass wood pellets for the renewable energy market. The speed at which overs, both over-thick or over-sized fractions, can be separated from fines, such as sawdust, is critical in dictating the overall efficiency of production. In wood-processing facilities, overs can be fed back into a rechipper, for example, until the desired wood fraction size or thickness is achieved. Our screening machinery often acts as a pre-sorting process to speed up and efficiently remove sawdust from wood fractions. Screening machinery is an essential element in ensuring that every part of a tree can be effectively used, with screening equipment associated with almost every stage of processing until the final product is achieved or manufactured. An effective screening machine ensures that unwanted particles are separated quickly, and with minimal interference with the throughput of the rest of the feedstock. This time-saving effect is compounded where larger fragments must be recirculated several times, adding cumulative efficiency to mill processes. ROBUST SCREENING EQUIPMENT WITHSTANDS ABRASIVE BULKS In dry bulk processing, screening is equally important, again separating unwanted powdery fines from cargoes such as aggregates. These screening systems also have to offer heavy-duty, robust meshes and perforated screens, able to withstand the highly abrasive properties of some dry bulks. Our vibratory screening equipment and screening machinery has been designed to be extremely cost effective, require minimal maintenance and rapidly speed up the classification and sorting processes, which are essential elements in wood-processing plants and dry bulk material handling. MINIMAL MAINTENANCE, LOW OPERATING COSTS AND DECADES OF RELIABLE SERVICE Minimal maintenance and maximum equipment availability are delivered through robust, quality components, and the fact that a screening machine, such as vibratory screening equipment, is not exposed to significant forces. This means minimal wear and tear, low operating costs and decades of reliable service. Bruks Siwertell s screening solutions can be supplied as standalone units or, for larger processing facilities, can be supplied as integral parts of the manufacturing machinery.
