Abstract

A vibratory article coating and conveying apparatus for coating articles with a surface coating material and conveying the coated articles. The apparatus has a base, a coating material reservoir located above the base for containing the article coating material and for receiving the articles to be coated, and a vertical helical conveying flight structure having its bottom inlet end in open communication with the reservoir to receive coated articles from the reservoir and for conveying the coated articles upwardly out of the reservoir to an article discharge at the top of the flight structure. A vibratory force generating device is associated with the reservoir and the helical conveying flight structure to impart a cyclical generally torsional motion to the reservoir and helical conveyor flight.
