Abrégé

The invention relates to a method for checking the functionality of a vibratory conveyor device (1) by means of a status analysis, which is carried out either before the operation or during the operation of the vibratory conveyor device (1), wherein A) the method to be carried out before the operation comprises the following steps: A1) applying a drive impulse to a drive device (2); A2) detecting the impulse response caused by the vibratory conveyor device (1); A3) forwarding the detected impulse response to a computer (6) via the signal evaluation unit (5); A4) comparing the detected impulse response with a reference impulse response by means of the computer (6); and A5) using the computer (6), determining whether a) a start-up procedure for an operation with reduced start-up drive power of the vibratory conveyor device (1) should be activated, or b) a start-up procedure for an operation without reduced start-up drive power of the vibratory conveyor device (1) should be activated, or c) the operation should be suspended; B) the method to be carried out during the operation comprises the following steps: B1) detecting the voltage amplitude, frequency, acceleration and temperature caused by the vibratory conveyor device (1) during operation of the vibratory conveyor device (1) by means of the signal evaluation unit (5); and B2) forwarding the detected voltage amplitude, frequency, acceleration and temperature to a computer (6) via the signal evaluation unit (5).

Abrégé

The invention relates to a spiral for a vibratory spiral conveyor consisting of individual spiral segments (2). Said segments are pushed onto a supporting tube (1) and fixed thereon by means of a clamping ring (3). Said helix can be assembled on a substructure, for example a machine containing a vibratory drive, by stacking the spiral segments (2) one after the other. Correspondingly, during disassembly the spiral segments (2) can be individually removed. Alternatively, the spiral can also be placed as a whole onto the machine or removed therefrom.

Abrégé

The aim of the invention is to reliably measure particles (3) adhering to a body (1). To this end, particles are transferred from the body (1) to a test body (2) and measured thereon. In this way, for example, the performance of dust collectors for, for example, pharmaceutical tablets can be reliably determined with a high level of repeat accuracy.

Abrégé

A vibratory spiral conveyor for removing dust and burrs from small parts such as tablets (4) comprises a helical track (1), a vibratory output unit to make the helical track (1) vibrate, the vibration having a horizontal rotary component and a vertical transverse component, and a suction device for sucking off dust from the zone of the helical track. The vibratory drive unit includes a housing (18), a movable anchor piece (17) supporting the track (1), a movable counterweight for compensating reactive forces acting on the housing (18), first driving means for making the anchor piece (17) oscillate in a rotating manner, second driving means for making the anchor piece (17) oscillate in a translational manner, third driving means for making the counterweight oscillate in a rotating manner, and fourth driving means of making the counterweight oscillate in a translational manner. The independent driving means allow the conveying characteristics to be adjusted during operation and the free forces and moments of inertia to be compensated within a large range.
