Vibrating conveyors consist of troughs or tubes flexibly supported and vibrated by mechanical or electrical means to convey objects or bulk materials; vibration takes place in an inclined, elliptical pattern to cause directional as well as upward movement of the material.

Vibrating conveyors are robust conveying equipment used for fine to coarse-grained bulk materials. Whether this be powdery materials, gravel or coarse scree. They are extremely durable provided that these materials are conveyed horizontally. The only limitation results from the suspension design.
