Improved product dosing through 'Horizontal Motion' technology

With the horizontal motion technique developed by VDL, or the horizontal “shifting” of a product flow, a very easy to control product dosage can be realized. The chute in which the product is poured makes a repetitive sliding movement and takes the product with it, after which it slides under the product in a fast movement, back to the original position. The product is moved in this way, without the top layer of the product moving.

With this method of transport, the risk of damage during transport is minimized and the composition of a mixed product flow remains intact. By constantly measuring the product height and controlling the speed of the drive, very accurate dosing is possible. In addition, the transport direction of this machine can easily be reversed, allowing one to change subsequent processing in the production line without valves or other applications.

VDL Industrial Products designs and manufactures a large number of types of transport systems based on vibratory technology. These vibrators find their way to the end market via various OEMs of feed and food processing equipment and machines for bulk handling and the recycling industry. 

Our vibrators are used in various industries to transport, dose, align, dewater, degrease, sort by length or size or sieve products. 

The VDL Industrial Products program consists of the following types of vibrators:

• indirectly driven leaf spring vibrators;
• direct drive vibrators;
• electromagnetic direct drive vibrators;
• indirectly driven electromagnetic vibrators;
• horizontal motion conveyors.
