Syntron ® Vibrating ConveyorsWhen it comes to conveying, the goal is clear: maximum speedwith minimal product degradation.Syntron conveyors from FMC Technologies can take you there. No matterthe material — metal, glass, wood products, and chemicals — FMCTechnologies can provide an efficient and effective conveying solutionsystem for your process.The technology behind Syntron vibrating conveyors is based on acombination of natural frequency and positive drive action that results inlow operating power requirements with minimum stress on drive components.The positive action eccentric drive ensures constant amplitudeunder most operating conditions.In addition, Syntron positive action drives provide uniform product flowas process demands change. This feature eliminates the need for precise,continual drive speed adjustment.Syntron Vibrating conveyors are rugged, compact and easy to install andmaintain. Their natural, gentle conveying action makes these units idealfor handling a wide range of free-flowing bulk materials, including hot,abrasive, fine, dusty, lumpy, stringy and other difficult-to-handle products.Because no single conveyor system is suitable for all applications, FMCTechnologies manufactures two types of vibrating conveyors — theFlexmount conveyor and the Coilmount conveyor. These two modelscover most capacities and weight requirements for efficient, economical,industrial conveying applications. Base-mounted, non-isolated Flexmountand Coilmount conveyors must be mounted on a concrete foundation atgrade level that is suitable to withstand the dynamic loads exerted. Pleasecontact FMC Technologies to confirm actual recommended foundationrequirements.Flexmount vibrating conveyors usedto reclaim and return steel abrasivesto shot blast cleaning system, whichprepares railroad cars for painting.Features and Benefits include:●●●●●Flexibility - Syntron vibrating conveyors are suitable for most applicationsoperating conditions and arrangements —short or long runs, wide variety ofmaterials. Single or multiple discharge points provide steady, even flow.Gentle Handling - allows the handling of thin, brittle castings with minimumdegradation of fragile materials.Low Maintenance - only the drive requires lubrication. Low operating powerrequirements. Fewer moving parts result in less maintenance.Positive Drive - maintains conveying action even under operating surge loadconditions.Designed to last - rugged construction to withstand demanding industrialenvironments and applications, even when sharp, abrasive materials areconveyed.Coilmount vibrating conveyortransferring redwood bark to anotherCoilmount transfer conveyor.Material Handling Solutionswww.fmctechnologies.com/materialhandling3

Flexmount conveyorFlexmount Vibrating ConveyorsSyntron ® Flexmount vibrating conveyors provide an economical means ofconveying a wide variety of granular, free-flowing materials, as well asodd-size materials such as metal scrap, with the assurance of years ofdependable, trouble-free service.Designed for light to medium capacityapplications (up to 35 tph), thesecompact units are simple inconstruction, but are remarkablyrugged and compact. Flexmountconveyors feature a positive action drivethat provides the additional energy neededto handle varying loads beyond the natural frequency range of the conveyor.This enables the Flexmount conveyor to maintain a constant strokewhether loaded or empty. These conveyors are ideal for material handlingapplications in the chemical, forest products, metal cleaning and foodprocessing industries.Standard troughs for the Flexmount conveyor are 10 gauge mild steelconstruction with widths ranging from 8 to 48-inches. The troughs arealso available in stainless steel. In addition, flanged troughs can be madeof special materials. A variety of liner materials are available for handlingcorrosive or abrasive materials. Dust-tight or weather-tight models areavailable. The troughs are easily adaptable to collect materials from severalinfeed points and distribute materials through multiple intermediate gates.A 12-inch wide by 48-foot longFlexmount conveyor handling 6 TPHof spill sand.

Coilmount vibrating conveyorsCoilmount Vibrating ConveyorsSyntron ® Coilmount Oscillating Conveyors are ideally suited to conveya variety of materials including granular, free-flowing materials,fragile or sticky materials, and abrasive materials suchas ores, sand, castings and scrap metal.Ruggedly constructed to providereliable and economical service,the units can also be modified tosuit specific scalping, cooling,heating and drying processes. TheCoilmount handles large capacitiesof low- to high-density materials.Coilmount conveyors can be quicklyand easily installed on concretefoundations or on structures neargrade level. These conveyors areavailable in standard sizes of 10-inchand 20-inch widths with 6-inchdeep troughs. A 12-inch deeptrough is also available. Coilmountconveyors are constructed of either10 gauge or 3/16-inch mild orstainless steel. In addition, flangedtroughs can be made of specialmaterials. A variety of liner materialsare available for handling corrosiveor abrasive materials. Troughs canalso be furnished with covers whichattach with bolts or quick-actingfasteners. Installing gaskets betweenthe cover and trough creates a sealfor dust-tight or weather-tightapplications.
