Abstract

In the paper are presented the basics of vibrating transporters and the kinematics of the particles in the process of transportation are presented. Also are analyzed the influences of transport parameters (amplitude, frequency) and the characteristics of the material on the displacement regime during the transportation process are analyzed. In the end part of the paper there are presented the stand used for the experimental study of the influences of the vibration amplitude and thickness of the material layer on the dosing precision for different agro-food materials is presented.
