Grid deck vibrating table (GD with rollers)

Electric Powered For Roller Conveyor Systems

Model GD, vibrating "Grid Deck" table is designed primarily for compaction of drums and bulk boxes in manual, semi-automatic and automatic pack out lines.


Model GD-5984-7480-4-(2) has a 5' × 7' grid deck table for foundry moulds. Design capacity is 6,000 lbs.



Model GD-2326-660-4-(2) electric grid deck table shown less roller conveyor. Note resistabrade lined deck for noise abatement.




The unit is typically installed in a roller conveyor system directly beneath a hopper-type net weigher or bulk filling station. The empty drum or palletized carton is rolled into position over the grid deck which is in the lowered position. Upon actuation, either manually or automatically, the grid is raised by inflating the air mounts and the load is elevated off the roller conveyor surface. The vibratory motors are energized, thus settling and densifying the container's contents. Upon completion of the vibratory cycle, the container is lowered back onto the roller and then advanced to the next operation.

This design eliminates the need to vibrate roller conveyors and provides an effective, quiet and expedient means of filling containers to their maximum net weight.

BEST'S electric grid tables incorporate twin counter-rotating motors, eliminating the walking tendency normally associated with single motor competitive designs. Standard vibrator motors are 3600, 1800 and 1200 RPM. 900 RPM also available on special order.

Optional features include outboard vibrator motor designs, powered roller conveyors and scale with automatic batch out controls.
