What is the typical lifespan of a vibratory conveyor?
We have vibrators still in operation, which were manufactured in 1973 and still operational. Providing the machines are used for their intended purposes and routine inspection is carried out to ensure correct functioning, we believe all our machines should be operational for a 25-year life span.
