A vibratory conveyor for use in an industrial processing system. The vibratory conveyors include mounting plates for coupling vibratory motors of the conveyor. The mounting plates extend into tubular sidewalls of the base frame. A force-balancing member, such as a cross-member, extends between the mounting plates. The mounting plates may be a solid plate of material, such as steel.

A spiral conveyor is described. The spiral conveyor provides an extremely open design. The open design creates and defines a very sanitary design. The combination of a cantilever frame construction (with no side frames) and the edge/side driven belting allows for superior access and cleanability. This access and cleanability are of paramount importance to the food market, where sanitation requirements are stringent to maintain food safety by preventing bacteria growth.

A vibratory conveyor with a base frame, a vibrating frame mounted on the base frame and is vibrated relative to the base frame by a vibratory drive, and a conveyor trough made of a continuous flexible mat. The flexible mat is alternately connected to the base frame and the vibrating frame at connection points which are mutually spaced when seen in the longitudinal direction of the conveyor trough. A respective mat portion lies between each pair of connection points adjoining each other in the longitudinal direction of the conveyor trough. The vibrating frame can be vibrated relative to the base frame by means of the vibratory drive, and mat portions adjoining one another in the longitudinal direction of the conveyor trough are thus alternately stretched and slackened in a push-pull mode.
