Case Study: Cost-Effective Upgrade with Bespoke Coil Boxes for Vibratory Conveyor

Client Background

A manufacturing client using vibratory conveyors faced challenges due to changes in the conveyed product, necessitating more efficient, up-to-date coil boxes to maintain optimal conveyor performance. The original conveyors were supplied by a different manufacturer, presenting compatibility and upgrade challenges.


Challenge

The client initially considered a complete conveyor replacement due to issues with coil box performance resulting from the change in product characteristics. However, the cost and downtime associated with replacing entire conveyors were significant concerns. Additionally, there was a need for coil boxes that better matched the new product specifications and operational demands.


Solution

VCSP designed bespoke coil boxes explicitly tailored for the client’s vibratory conveyor systems. These coil boxes were engineered to:

  • Fit conveyors from any manufacturer, overcoming compatibility issues.
  • Provide enhanced efficiency and performance suitable for the changed product.
  • Enable an upgrade in conveyor specification without the need for a complete system replacement.

The bespoke coil boxes featured advanced electromagnetic coil drives optimised for the client’s production environment. VCSP collaborated closely with the client to spec up the coil boxes, ensuring they met stringent operational and durability requirements.


Benefits

  • Cost Savings: The client saved substantial costs by replacing only the coil boxes rather than the entire conveyor system.
  • Performance Improvement: The new coil boxes improved conveyor efficiency, better handling the new product without increasing downtime.
  • Customisation: The bespoke design allowed for precise fitment and performance enhancement tailored to the client’s unique producer specifications.
  • Compatibility: Solution worked with conveyors from different original suppliers, showcasing VCSP’s adaptability and engineering capability.

Conclusion

VCSP’s bespoke coil box upgrade provided a highly effective, tailored solution that avoided costly conveyor replacement. The client benefited from enhanced operational efficiency and reduced capital expenditure by choosing a targeted coil box replacement explicitly designed for their vibratory conveyor and new product requirements.
