AViTEQ: Trough Conveyor
What this video shows
AViTEQ’s vibrating trough conveyor moves free-flowing bulk materials along an open trough. Single units reach 9,000 mm in length and 3,500 mm in width, with throughput approaching 1,000 m³/h. Because the material path stays open, operators can inspect and clean the trough directly — useful in rugged plants and hygienic production alike.
What the footage shows
AViTEQ presents a vibrating trough conveyor for handling free-flowing bulk materials.
Process challenge
Enclosed conveying systems limit inspection and cleaning. In dusty or abrasive operations, that can lead to material buildup and hidden wear zones.
Demonstrated solution
AViTEQ’s trough conveyor keeps the material path open: bulk goods flow along a robust, trough-shaped surface that operators can inspect and clean directly, while the vibrating drive handles free-flowing materials of almost any particle size.
Technical overview
Key features
- •The trough conveyor features a robust, open, trough-shaped structure.
- •This shape allows goods to flow smoothly along the trough surface.
- •The troughs reach widths up to 3,500 mm, and throughput rates approach 1,000 m³/h under optimal conditions.
Benefits
- •Heavy industrial settings: Where dust, heat, or rugged conditions demand sturdy equipment
- •Chemical and food industries: Where cleaning and hygiene are critical
- •Bulk handling of powders, granulates, or small particles
- •Large spans and wide trough designs: For high throughput in compact layouts
- •Visual inspection
- •Fast cleaning
- •Reduced risk of hidden blockage
- •Easier maintenance
Typical applications
- •Heavy industrial settings: Where dust, heat, or rugged conditions demand sturdy equipment
- •Chemical and food industries: Where cleaning and hygiene are critical
- •Bulk handling of powders, granulates, or small particles
- •Large spans and wide trough designs: For high throughput in compact layouts

AViTEQ Trough Conveyor: Robust Conveying Under All Conditions
This video showcases AViTEQ’s trough conveyor, a vibrating conveyor for free-flowing bulk materials across almost any particle size. The design pairs durability with flexibility, so it works in harsh industrial settings as well as hygienic applications in chemical or food production.
Design and Key Specifications
The conveyor is built around a robust, open, trough-shaped structure. Goods flow smoothly along the trough surface, and the open top makes cleaning straightforward.
- Lengths up to 9,000 mm per unit — theoretically unlimited when several conveyors are linked in modular sections
- Trough widths up to 3,500 mm for large material streams
- Throughput approaching 1,000 m³/h under optimal conditions, depending on material and installation
- Drive options: magnetic vibrators, unbalance motors, or unbalance exciters
The simple construction keeps capacity high and maintenance low. It also reduces the risk of plugging or jamming.
Why the Open Design Matters
Many conveying systems enclose the material path. In dusty or abrasive operations, that can hide buildup and wear zones. AViTEQ’s trough conveyor inverts that logic: open where possible, stable where needed. Operators can inspect the trough surface directly, clean it quickly, and spot blockages before they become a problem.
Typical Applications
- Heavy industrial settings where dust, heat, or rugged conditions demand sturdy equipment
- Chemical and food industries where cleaning and hygiene are critical
- Powders, granulates, and small particles in bulk handling
- Wide troughs and large spans for high throughput in compact layouts
What You’ll See in the Video
The footage shows the conveyors under real industrial conditions:
- Material flow through large trough widths
- Operation under heavy loads
- The vibratory action in the trough
- Direct access for cleaning and inspection
- Drive mechanisms such as magnetic vibrators in action
System Context
Within AViTEQ’s conveying portfolio, the trough conveyor covers the open conveying niche; vibrating feeders and tubular conveyors serve enclosed or hygienic paths. Each system is tailored using the company’s bulk material database — experience from over 370,000 projects — so trough shape, drive type, and installation match the material and process.
If your operation handles free-flowing bulk solids and needs a conveyor that’s both rugged and accessible, this trough design is worth a close look.
