When it comes to moving wood materials efficiently, General Kinematics Vibratory Conveyors for Wood Processing set the industry standard. GK vibratory conveyors are designed to handle the unique challenges of the wood processing industry—offering unmatched reliability, reduced maintenance, and superior material handling efficiency. General Kinematics SYNCRO-COIL® Conveyors for Wood Processing are available in infinite lengths and custom-built for your specific application. Technically advanced vibrating conveyors are a tradition at General Kinematics. No matter how difficult your application, chances are we have solved a similar material flow problem — not only for materials that need to be moved, but a number of processes along the way, including separating, screening, classification, distribution, sorting, inspection, metals removal and more. Travel can be up, down, or all around your facility with Wood Vibrating Conveyors.

APPLICATIONS
GK’s vibratory conveyors are engineered to optimize material movement across a wide range of wood processing applications, including:
- Sawmill Operations: Transporting wood chips, sawdust, bark, and scrap wood efficiently.
- Pulp & Paper Mills: Managing fiber reclaim, chip screening, and waste handling.
- Pellet Manufacturing: Feeding and conveying raw biomass materials with precision.
- Recycling & Biomass Energy: Sorting, screening, and conveying wood waste for reuse.
- Engineered Wood Production: Handling MDF, particleboard, and OSB materials with care.
SYNCRO-CUSHION™ DRIVE
Our proven SYNCRO-CUSHION™ coil spring drive combines the advantages of natural frequency vibratory action with a rugged drive and trough connection. The result: exceptional performance in high load or adverse operating conditions.
The SYNCRO-CUSHION™ eliminates the fatigue and heat decay problems of compressive rubber block trough connections. The high-alloy, low-stress springs are matched to the conveyor application so that they absorb out-of-phase forces during startup and stopping.
The flexible coil spring trough connection permits shaft oscillating action to fully synchronize with the natural frequency of the reactor spring system, minimizing motor starting torque requirements and eliminating high stress concentration in both drive components and trough connection.
Designed for ease of maintenance, the drive shaft, a solid piece of alloy steel with an integrally machined eccentric, operates with heavy-duty, anti-friction, self-aligning bearings. Connecting arms are engineered to permit shaft and bearing removal without disassembling the entire drive system. Its simplified design, with fewer parts, and the convenience of single-point, piped lubrication to all bearings, eases maintenance.
