About Selecting a Vibrator

Also known as piston vibrators, these pound the sides of your bin to dislodge wet, sticky, and caked-on materials. Bin wall thickness determines the force required to move the material in the bin. To select a vibrator strong enough for your application, find your bin's wall thickness in the table.

Vibrators with standard pistons make direct contact with your container wall for maximum impact.

Vibrators with cushion-impact pistons have an air cushion that prevents metal-to-metal contact.

Heavy Duty Air-Powered Vibrators for Wet Materials with Setup Kit

These vibrators come with everything you need to get started. Use them to dislodge extremely thick, sticky materials from the sides of your bin. Vibrators have a sturdy base for secure mounting and even force distribution. Bin wall thickness determines the force required to move the material in the bin. To select a vibrator strong enough for your application, find your bin's wall thickness in the table.

Kits include a U-channel bracket, a manual air valve, an automatic filter/regulator/lubricator, and two hoses with fittings. Some come with an extra replacement hose.

Vibrators with standard pistons make direct contact with your container wall for maximum impact.

Vibrators with cushion-impact pistons have an air cushion that prevents metal-to-metal contact.

Vacuum-Mount Air-Powered Vibrators for Wet Materials

These vibrators attach more quickly than other vibrators by generating a vacuum instead of bolting or welding, so you can place them at the source of the blockage and quickly move them between bins. They're often used to dislodge sticky, caked-on materials from trailers, railcars, and hoppers. Bin wall thickness determines the force required to move the material in the bin. To select a vibrator strong enough for your application, find your bin's wall thickness in the table.

Electric Vibrators for Wet Materials

Since they generate vibration with electromagnets, these vibrators have no moving parts that can wear out and shorten service life. They pound on container walls to dislodge sticky, caked-on materials. Vibrators require a controller (sold separately). Bin wall thickness determines the force required to move the material in the bin. To select a vibrator strong enough for your application, find your bin's wall thickness in the table.

Style 4 have an internal cushion for reduced noise. They are water resistant for use in environments with splashing water.

Style 5 make direct contact with the container wall for maximum impact. They are water resistant for use in environments with splashing water.

Required controllers have an adjustable speed dial. Controllers for 3,600 VPM vibrators are rated NEMA 4 for protection against washdowns, corrosion, and dust. Choose by matching the vibrator's voltage, vibration speed, and current to the controller.

Electric Vibrating Feeders

Vibrating Feeder

Generating vibration with electromagnets, these have no mechanical parts that can wear out and shorten service life. A built-in vibrator shakes material to stimulate flow through the trough. They're often used to feed material in mixing or packaging operations.

Vibrating feeders with a 304 stainless steel trough are often used in wet and corrosive conditions.

Required controller adjusts speed.

Air-Powered Vibrating Feeders

These vibrators have a muffler and an air cushion prevent metal-to-metal contact. They have a built-in vibrator that shakes material to stimulate flow through the trough. They're often used to feed material in mixing or packaging operations. All require a solenoid valve (sold separately).

Vibrating feeders with a 304 stainless steel trough are often used in wet and corrosive conditions.
