CoilWeb Vibrating Conveyors
DESIGN BENEFITS
Will readily handle hot or abrasive materials.
Will handle fragile materials (potato chips, cereal flakes,
etc.) without degradation.
Smooth continuous trough, no pockets for material to
accumulate in, no jamming of material.
Conveyor is normally self-cleaning.
No return strand to carry over.
Simple construction with minimum number of moving parts.
Moving parts are not in contact with material.
Minimum safety hazard to persons working on or near
conveyor.
Pan is usually widest part of conveyor.
Is easily enclosed, even at transfer points.
Discharge end may be tapered to spread material.
Abrupt discharge.
Little headroom required for change in direction or
discharge to other equipment.
Problems at discharge or transfer points are minimized
because of relatively low conveying speed, low headroom
required and abrupt discharge. If problems do occur they
may be easily corrected by modifying end of pan.
Multiple discharge points are possible.
Can perform special operations (scalping, dedusting,
magnetic separation, lump breaking, washing, heating,
cooling, drying, etc.) while conveying.
Unit machines have been completely assembled and
tested at the factory. Minimum work and time required at
installation.

DESIGN Limitations
Not all materials can be conveyed.
Is not a positive type of conveyor, conveying speed obtained
may vary with different materials.
Slope up which material can be conveyed is limited.
Substantial foundation or supporting structure or special
construction required because of unbalanced forces.
Limited length of conveyor per drive.

DESIGN FEATURES
Controlled Vibration The movement of material on the
pan of a vibrating conveyor is dependent on the vibratory
motion of the pan. On all Webster vibrating conveyors
amplitude, direction and frequency of the vibratory motion
are selected and controlled to give a gentle hopping action
to the material being conveyed so as to minimize material
degradation, wear of the conveying surface, noise level
and drive forces. The amplitude and frequency of vibration
are also selected so that oversize motors are not required
for starting.
Natural Frequency When the stiffness of the springs
which support and guide the pan is selected so the
natural or resonant frequency of the pan-spring system
is very nearly the same as the operating frequency of the
conveyor, most of the power required to vibrate the empty
pan is alternately stored and released by the springs. It is
only necessary for the drive to furnish the power required
to overcome frictional forces and to convey material. This
results in minimum power requirements, minimum drive
forces and a uniform distribution of inertia forces over the
length of the conveyor. All Webster vibrating conveyors
employ this principle of operation.

Selecting The Right Conveyor

For Your Needs
Webster FS Series and CoilWeb Vibrating Conveyors
The selection of the proper size and type of vibrating
conveyor is based on the following three factors:
1. Quantity of material to be conveyed.
2. Properties of the material to be conveyed.
3. Environment in which conveyor to be installed.
Quantity of material to be conveyed is usually stated
in tons per hour. However since the vibrating conveyor
is a volumetric device it is necessary to select a unit to
contain and convey the largest instantaneous volumetric
flow rate which may occur. For example, if a conveyor
receives material from a batch weighting hopper it must
be sized to convey at the maximum rate at which material
is discharged from the hopper rather than at the average
hourly rate. If a conveyor is to handle unit loads such as
foundry molds, the cross sectional area of the pan must
be somewhat larger than the vertical cross sectional area
of the load so the load will be contained without spillage.
Material properties include bulk density, particle size,
abrasiveness, corrosiveness, stickiness, and temperature.
Bulk density, together with the capacity in tons per hour
determines the volumetric flow rate. Particle size has
two important aspects. First, the conveyor pan must be
somewhat wider than the largest piece of material which
will be conveyed in this regard, material has much less
tendency to jam in pans with flared sides than in pans
with straight or vertical sides. Second, materials of very
small particle size may convey poorly and may have severe
limitations on the depth of the bed which can be conveyed.
Abrasive materials may require pans fabricated of abrasion
resistant steel or liners of abrasion resistant steel, or
rubber. Corrosive materials may require pans fabricated

800-243-9327

of, or lined with special materials. Sticky materials may

require special liners or coating. The temperature of the
material will determine whether standard non-expansion
construction will be satisfactory or if high temperature of
heat-expansion construction is necessary.
Environment would include ambient conditions (hot,
humid, corrosive, or dusty atmospheres) and the type
of support available for the conveyor. High ambient
temperatures may require a supply of cooling air for
the motor, V-belt drive and conveyor drive and an air-oil
mist lubrication system for the drive bearings. A humid,
corrosive, or dusty atmosphere may require special
coatings for the conveyor or an air-oil mist lubrication
system for the drive bearings. If the conveyor is to be
installed in an elevated structure, adjacent to equipment
which would be adversely affected by vibration or
in an area with poor soil conditions, a conveyor that
counterbalances or isolates the dynamic reactions may
be required.
The following table lists the maximum allowable material
temperature for the Webster vibrating conveyors. It is intended
as a guide only and is based on the assumption that the
bottom of the pan is completely and continuously cover
with a bed of material.

FS Series Vibrating Conveyors

This series includes the FSL, a light-duty, low headroom

conveyor for small particle, low capacity applications; the
FSM, a medium-duty conveyor for small particle, higher
capacity applications; and the FSH, a medium to heavyduty conveyor for a larger particle size and increased
capacity applications. All of these conveyors incorporate
the natural frequency principle, controlled vibration,
positive eccentric drive and standardized sectional
construction. They provide a rugged and economical
answer to many bulk material conveying and processing
jobs throughout the industry.
FS series vibrating conveyors will convey granular or
lump material ranging in size from minus 100 mesh to

MATERIAL

The FS series vibrating conveyors incorporate

fabricated steel pans, a natural frequency
spring system, a positive eccentric drive
powered by an electric motor and v-belts on
a fabricated steel base.

ASSEMBLY

any lump size which will fit into the pan. These conveyors
can handle weight from several pounds to several hundred
pounds per cubic foot. They are particularly well suited for
conveying hot, heavy, sharp or abrasive materials which
are not readily handled on other types of conveyors. They
also may be adapted to processing operations such as
inspecting, sorting, screening, washing, dewatering,
heating, cooling and drying.
The following pages detail the dimensions of our standard
pan sizes. Other pan sizes and shapes are available. The
FS series vibrating conveyors can be custom designed to
best suit your application.

Standard drive and extension sections are

delivered in preassembled sections. Jig
fixtured, bolted pan flanges make field assembly easy.

APPLICATION

FS series vibrating conveyors are used where

horizontal or shallow inclined conveying
is required. They handle a wide variety
of bulk materials from powders to solids.
They are well suited to handle fragile, sharp
and irregularly shaped materials. They
are primarily used in the forest products,
stamping, food, grain and chemical industries.

FS Series Components
FLAT SPRINGS

The springs used in the FS series vibrating conveyors are

fabricated of a glass filament reinforced plastic which has
extremely high flexural strength and excellent resistance to
heat, moisture and chemical exposure. These springs are
conservatively stressed and will have an extremely long
life if the conveyor is properly installed and maintained.

Positive Eccentric Drive

Very little driving force is required when a vibrating conveyor

is operating without load and at or close to its natural
frequency. The material being conveyed or a buildup of
material on the pan will cause significant increases in the
driving force required. The positive eccentric drives used
in the FS series vibrating conveyors will maintain constant
amplitude under the variations in loading which occur in
normal operation.
These drives are equipped with heavy-duty spherical roller
bearings on the eccentric shaft and with a steel encased
rubber bushing at the pan end of the connecting rod. This
rubber bushing reduces drive forces when starting and
stopping, eliminates the need for lubrication at this point
and reduces the noise level of the machine.
The bearings used are designed so that they cannot be
damaged by excessive lubrication.

Standardized Sectional Construction

The FS series vibrating conveyors are standardized

sectional conveyors. They are built in 10 foot long sections
which are bolted together. Odd length sections are available
for use at the ends of the conveyor when the length is not a
multiple of 10 feet. The pans are fabricated of mild carbon
steel. The thickness and cross-sectional dimensions of
the pans for the various standard sections are shown on
the following pages. Pans fabricated of other materials or
having different dimensions are available.

800-243-9327

Unbalanced or Isolated
Construction

Standard FS series vibrating conveyors are unbalanced

machines and must be installed on a substantial foundation
or supporting structure which is usually at or below ground
level. If the conveyor is to be installed on an elevated
structure, it is desirable to reduce the dynamic reaction
transmitted to the supports, it may be equipped with a
heavy inertia base and soft isolating springs. This type
of construction will reduce the forces transmitted to the
support by 85% to 95%.

Standard and High Temperature

Construction

Webster FS series vibrating conveyors are available in two

types and the selection of the proper type is dependent
on the temperature of the material being conveyed. When
material temperature is no higher than 150 to 200 F,
standard or nonexpansion construction is used. For hotter
materials high temperature or heat expansion construction
can be used, or a switch to CoilWeb series may be
recommended. The high temperature type is designed
so the pan is free to expand and contract and warpage is
controlled.

Accessories

A wide range of optional features are available for use with

FS series vibrating conveyors. Included are covers, side or
bottom discharges, intermediate discharges with gates,
pans with multiple compartments or channels, screen
sections, nonmagnetic pan sections for use with magnetic
separators, nonmetallic pan sections for use with metal
detectors, steel pan liners for impact or abrasion resistance,
rubber pan liners for wear resistance or noise reduction,
special discharges for feeding process equipment and steel
support structures.

CoilWeb Series
Vibrating Conveyors

This series of heavy-duty service conveyors includes the

models CoilWeb and CoilWeb LS, both with a broad
range of capabilities for your tough conveying applications.
The CoilWeb series features include the use of the
natural frequency principle utilizing coil springs, controlled
vibration, semipositive coil spring drive and standardized
spring and rocker arm components. They provide a heavyduty solution for your severe bulk material handling and
processing jobs.
CoilWeb vibrating conveyors will convey granular or
lump materials ranging in size from minus 100 mesh to
any lump size which will fit into the pan. These conveyors

MATERIAL

The CoilWeb series vibrating conveyors

incorporate fabricated steel pans, a natural
frequency spring system, a semipositive
eccentric drive powered by an electric motor
and v-belts on a fabricated steel base.

800-243-9327

ASSEMBLY

can handle density ranging from several pounds to several

hundred pounds per cubic foot. The CoilWeb in particular
is better suited for heavily loaded hot or abrasive material
applications which are not readily handled by other
conveyors. The CoilWeb conveyors may also be adapted
to do processing operations such as screening, sorting,
washing, dewatering, cooling or drying.
The following pages detail standard pan size and capacity
information. Other pan sizes and shapes are available.
The CoilWeb series vibrating conveyors can be custom
designed to suit your application.

Standard drive and extension sections are

delivered in preassembled sections. Standard welded pan joints or jig fixtured, bolted
pan flanges are available for joining the
sections together.

APPLICATION

CoilWeb series vibrating conveyors are

used where horizontal or shallow inclined
conveying is required. They handle a wide
variety of bulk materials from powders to
solids. They are well suited to handle fragile,
sharp and irregularly shaped materials. They
are primarily used in the forest products,
stamping, food, grain, foundry and die cast
industries.

CoilWeb Series Components

Spring Assemblies

The coil springs used in the CoilWeb series vibrating conveyors

are fabricated of alloy steel. Each spring assembly location
includes rocker arms to control the direction of vibration. Rubber
bushings are located at both ends of a malleable iron rocker arm
for a nonlubricated joint. This super-duty design of coil spring
assemblies, along with the heavy-duty pan construction, is built
to operate in harsh environments and heavy material loading,
providing long service life without maintenance.

Coil Spring Drive

CoilWeb series vibrating conveyors feature a semipositive

drive. These drives are equipped with heavy-duty, selfaligning roller bearing pillow blocks, heavy-duty flange mount
connecting rod bearings and a coil drive spring pan connection.
The incorporation of the drive springs substantially lowers the
starting and full load torque requirements resulting in dramatic
horsepower reduction over a positive connected drive.
Once a conveyor reaches its operating speed, very little drive
force is required because the pan spring systems resonant
frequency. This results in very little relative deflection between
the connecting rod and the drive-spring system. This design
will substantially reduce torque and horsepower requirements.

Unbalanced or Balanced Construction

The standard unbalanced CoilWeb series vibrating conveyors

develop a dynamic reaction and must be installed on an
appropriate foundation or support structure, which is usually
at or below ground level. For installations requiring a minimum
transmission of the dynamic reaction to supports, a selection of
balanced, isolated or balanced/isolated construction is available.

In the balanced construction, a balancer is driven 180 out of

phase to the pan. This balancer is equal in mass to the pan
and has a duplicate reactor spring assembly system. Being

20

180 out of phase results in two equal and opposite dynamic

reactions that cancel out 80% to 95% of the dynamic reaction
to the supports.
In the isolated construction a relatively short length CoilWeb
vibrating conveyor is equipped with a heavy moving inertia
base and is mounted to the support structure on soft isolation
springs. This type of construction, less complex than balancing,
reduces the reaction forces by 85% to 95%.
A combination balanced/isolated construction can be utilized
to provide the maximum dampening of the dynamic reaction.

Standard and High Temperature

Heavy-Duty Construction

Webster CoilWeb series vibrating conveyors are also available

in two construction types depending on the temperature of the
material being conveyed. The standard type of construction is
used when material temperature is no higher than 150 to 200
F. For hotter materials, heat expansion construction is used.
The heat expansion type is designed so that the pan is free to
expand or contract independently from the reactor spring and
drive systems. This heat expansion pan is also designed to
reduce heat conduction to the spring and drive systems.

Accessories

A wide range of optional features are available for use with

CoilWeb series vibrating conveyors. Included are covers, side
or bottom discharges, intermediate discharges with gates,
pans with multiple compartments or channels, screen sections,
nonmagnetic pan sections for use with magnetic separators,
nonmetallic pan sections for use with metal detectors, steel
pan liners for impact or abrasion resistance, rubber pan liners
for wear resistance or noise reduction, special discharges for
feeding process equipment and steel support structures.

Models CoilWeb & CoilWeb LS

Conveyors For Heavy-Duty Applications

Details of Construction

Pans for the standard CoilWeb and CoilWeb LS vibrating conveyors

are made with the sides flared so the width at the top is greater than
at the bottom. Standard pan bottom widths are in 6" increments
from 18" to 48" wide. Standard pan thicknesses are 14", 516" and 38"
depending on the application. The spring pads are a heavy fabricated
angle weldment. Other sizes including wider pans are available.

The standard base is made of heavy rolled structural channel with

cross members welded in place at the spring pads and rocker arms.
Anchor pads may be welded under the base channel by the customer.
This raises the base so it contacts an uneven foundation only where
the base is to be attached.
