Shaker conveyor systems, also known as vibratory conveyors, are mechanical devices used to transport materials in a controlled, horizontal motion. These systems utilize a shaking or vibrating action to move products along a conveyor path, making them ideal for handling bulk materials, parts transfer, and scrap removal.
Shaker conveyors are known for their durability, energy efficiency, and minimal wear parts, which contribute to their long lifespan and low maintenance requirements. They are commonly used in industries such as food processing, manufacturing, and recycling.
PRI carries shaker conveyor systems from PAX and MPI.

Pax's patented EGD conveyor is an electrically driven, oscillating type conveyor that utilizes a motorized, elliptical gear drive (EGD). Utilizing elliptical gears in a sealed oil bath provides an extremely reliable drive and a high conveying speed at lower RPMs.
The EGD conveyor is currently available in three sizes, rated based on the total tray weight, excluding the weight of the parts and scrap on the trays.
Tray brackets simply snap in place over the round portion of the crossbar without the use of tools. The machined, Acetal brackets bolt to the side of the conveyor tray can rotate on the crossbar if the tray needs to run on a slight angle.
The elliptical drive gears are bathed in oil inside of a sealed gearbox. This arrangement minimizes the reverse inertia effects that create issues for many other conveyor designs.
The EGD conveyor is electrically driven which means that it does not have the high operating costs and ongoing maintenance issues that are associated with many air-driven conveyors.
Optional, Quick Release Arm Arrangement:
To provide increased access to the press, this quick-release option allows the operator to simply lift the arm, (crossbar), off of the unit and to re-install the arm by simply placing it back on the top of the unit. No tools are required to remove or replace the arm.
T- Slot Type Mounting Brackets:
Bracket bolts to the bottom of the EGD-50 and is arranged to attach to standard T-slots. Standard brackets are based on a vertical mounting surface of 5.25”, (this is the height of the vertical plate on the bracket).
Brackets are available for different T-slot sizes and spacing as shown below, (contact Pax for detailed dimensions of the required bracket).
EGD-050-6190-0: ¾” T-Slots on 6” spacing, bar widths of A = 0.72” and B = 1.38″.
EGD-050-6192-0: ¾” T-Slots on 12” spacing, bar widths of A = 0.72” and B = 1.38”.
EGD-050-6191-0: 1” T-Slots on 6” spacing, bar widths of A = 0.97” and B = 1.50”.
EGD-050-6193-0: 1” T-Slots on 12” spacing, bar widths of A = 0.97” and B = 1.50”.
Vertical Face Mounting Bracket (PN EGD-050-6194-0):
The bracket bolts to the bottom of the EGD-50 and is arranged to be bolted to a vertical surface (such as the face of a bolster plate). Standard brackets are based on a vertical mounting surface of 5.25”, (this is the height of the vertical plate on the bracket). Contact Pax for detailed dimensions.
Option of Utilizing an Extruded Aluminum Cross Bar in Place of Pax’s Standard Cross Bar:
For customers with standardized extruded aluminum-type cross bars, an extruded aluminum bar can be attached directly to the top plate on the EGD-50. To attach the extruded aluminum bar, four ¼” bolts can be inserted through existing holes in the top plate and connected to T-nuts that can be inserted into the extruded aluminum bar. Top plate is designed for a 1.5” x 3” extrusion that has a 1.5” spacing between T-slots and a T-slot opening of 0.32”.
MPI shakers are specifically designed for slug and part removal on mechanical power presses where a single tray or multiple trays are located under the stamping die between parallels. A number of electric and pneumatic models with various capacities are available including floor mounted high capacity shaker conveyors.
MPI’s patented M-10 18” Maximum Crossbar Electric Shaker takes shaker technology to an entirely new level. With simplicity and affordability in mind, this machine is designed to operate without the need for maintenance, air or lubrication.
Sized for small presses, the M-10 Motor features an AC brushless motor and runs from a standard 110V outlet. The system runs at a fixed speed (factory preset at the optimal setting). Items that can be tampered with and may slow production, such as buttons, dials or switches, have been eliminated.

Press Mounted Multi Pan System Electric Shaker Conveyor
The most efficient electric shaker on the market, MPI's Patented M-50 36” Maximum Crossbar Electric Shaker is more efficient than air!
Sized for small presses, the M-50 features an AC brushless motor and runs from a standard 110V outlet. Designed designed to operate without the need for maintenance, air or lubrication, the M-50 is the first shaker that leaves the factory floor ready to fit virtually all of your press bed T-slot configurations, whether metric or standard.
The system runs at a fixed speed (factory preset at the optimal setting). Items that can be tampered with and may slow production, such as buttons, dials or switches, have been eliminated.

The patented heavy-duty M-200 Electric Scrap Shaker Conveyor uses a standard 110V, three-prong AC electrically driven motor.
Sized for large presses, its quiet operation and maintenance-free reliability make the M-200 the most versatile and affordable part transferring machine on the market.
With a 200 lb. tray capacity, up to 20 FPM part movement speed, a simple on-off reset breaker, and accessibility to tie into your press controls for automatic startup and shut down, the M-200 is the only part transfer unit you’ll ever need.

M-10000 is a complete central scrap removal system custom designed for your plant operations.
MPI’s M-10000 Series High-Capacity Floor Mounted Electric Shaker Conveyor (US Patented) is designed to transfer scrap metal, bulk products, or bulk materials reliably over long horizontal distances. The horizontal motion conveyor is designed to transfer at rates of over 10,000 pounds per hour and distances of hundreds of feet. The shaker conveyor features a formed steel pan that is driven by a single drive at a smooth, low frequency to convey materials in a horizontal motion.
Rugged enough to be used in applications for scrap conveyors, including scrap removal conveyors, press scrap conveyors, and scrap removal systems, the system reliably transfers the most destructive materials (i.e., scrap metal, castings, and rocks). However, the shaker conveyor's movement is gentle enough in their movement to transfer potato chips, nuts, or biscuits without breaking them.
The M-10000 Series is often integrated as part of a complete turnkey system that includes other components, such as incline conveyors, other horizontal motion conveyors, and controls. In the stamping industry, these make up one component of an underground scrap system or central scrap handling system used to collect and transfer scrap metal from stamping presses.
