How does the equipment behave when processing the material at capacity? GK has demonstrated this for customers in our production shop since day […]

In this instance, the company that originally manufactured the vibratory machine was unresponsive, and did not provide superior customer service, forcing the customer to search for an alternate parts supplier. With one call to GK, the customer […]

Vibratory conveyors, when broken down to their key elements, are very simple looking machines. There is typically a trough, a frame, some springs, and a means of creating vibration through an eccentric shaft. When these elements are put together, materials usually are predictable and will convey down the straight line from point A to point […]

Anyone can balance a nickel, but can you balance a quarter? This video shows both a nickel and a quarter balanced on the support leg of a General Kinematics two-mass vertical shakeout. The unit had a working surface of 14′ x 19′, was 12′ tall, and weighed in at a whopping 157,000 lbs. Not only […]
