InfiniSpring® is well known for its exceptional vibration and noise isolation properties. However, its unique capabilities extend beyond isolation — making it highly suitable for a wide range of dynamic applications. One such innovative use has recently been demonstrated together with students at Seinäjoki University of Applied Sciences (SeAMK).
InfiniSpring® has developed a novel prototype of a vibrating conveyor. Students at SeAMK have followed vibrating conveyor development and supported with the manufacturing drawings and assembly of the vibrating conveyor. Vibrating conveyor was first assembled and tested at SeAMK laboratory to validate design simulations. A Finite Element (FE) simulation model of the vibrating conveyor enables in-depth analysis of the converyor’s mechanical and dynamic behavior, allowing students to see simulated data being compared to prototype testing data. In the future SeAMK students can use vibrating conveyor for studying real life dynamic and vibration phenomena. Students can also practice vibration measurements using the vibrating conveyor.
Vibrating conveyor prototype is incorporating InfiniSpring®-springs in a clever and efficient way. The conveyor is constructed entirely from sheet metal steel, manufactured exclusively using laser cutting. It is powered by an eccentric motor with adjustable speed, and the system allows for changes in both motor RPM and spring angle.
This prototype demonstrates impressive functionality:
At 5300 RPM and a 45-degree spring angle, the conveyor operates with smooth, consistent vibratory motion and effectively conveys materials in a continuous flow. The use of InfiniSpring®-springs enables not only vibration but also contributes to the efficient, integrated design of the entire structure.
InfiniSpring Company will productize vibrating conveyor designs. Ultimately, the goal is to design an optimized and simplified version where the InfiniSpring®-springs become an integral part of the conveyor’s structural frame. We look forward to showcasing the final vibrating conveyor designs later once they are complete.
