Zusammenfassung:A vibration unit assembly (100) for a belt conveyor has a vibration element (105), and vibration generator (120) and a connection assembly (130). The vibration generator (120) is operatively connected to the vibration element (105) for inducing vibrations in the vibration element. The connection assembly (130) connects the vibration element (105) to the belt conveyor so that the vibration element may move relative to the belt conveyor. A contact surface (110) of the vibration element (105) engages a material to vibrate and compress the material as it is transported on the belt conveyor. The vibration element may comprise a plate (105) or a roller. A method for treating a material involves applying a vibration force and applying a compressive force to compact the material. A method for drying a material involves applying a vibration force to the material to release fluid and applying a compressive force to compact the material.
