Abstract:
A vibratory conveyor assembly comprising:a trough for containing articles to be advanced therein;a frame supporting said trough;at least one unitary one piece saddle plated extending along a first lateral side of said trough, underneath said trough, and along a second lateral side of said trough opposite said first lateral side;a first gusset for each at least one saddle plate connected to the first lateral side and a second gusset for each at least one saddle plate connected to the second lateral side, the first and second gusset for each corresponding at least one saddle plate coupling the saddle plate to the trough;a first actuator mounted exclusively on each one of the at least one saddle plate proximate to the corresponding first gusset; anda second actuator mounted exclusively on each one of the at least one saddle plate proximate to the corresponding second gusset,the first and second actuators being mounted on each at least one saddle plate to impart an oscillating motion to each at least one saddle plate which is transferred to the trough through the corresponding first and second gussets to cause the trough to move reciprocally.
