Martin® Smooth Move™ Vibratory Linear Feeder System

Martin Vibrators Feeders and Hoppers

All New!

Gentle, horizontal conveying of bulk materials. No “Throwing”!

The MARTIN^® Smooth Move™ Vibratory Linear Feeder system is designed for gentle, horizontal conveying of bulk material. Traditional vibration conveyor systems work on the throwing principle, in which a product is “thrown” forward, following a trajectory parabola. With the Smooth Move, the material gently slides along the conveyor trough instead, which is made possible by a pneumatic linear drive. The conveyor output can be adjusted to suit the specific characteristics of the material to be conveyed by regulating the compressed air.

The Martin® Smooth Move™ Explained

The flat design allows applications even within confined space constraints. The vibratory feeder trays are available in a variety of materials, including stainless steel, steel or plastic. And it is possible to couple multiple Smooth Move systems together to handle larger loads or greater distances.

The new Martin^® Smooth Move™ Vibratory Linear Feeder is the best way to transfer food, containers, powders and other materials with total control over feeding rates and while handling the material in a moderate manner. And the easily removable tray makes this the industry’s lowest maintenance feeder.

The most versatile conveyor for your application:

Gentle and constant conveying
Total control over feeding rate
Improved quality of your product
Low operating costs
