About Vibrators

Choose between vibrators for wet and dry materials. Then, learn how to mount vibrators on bins to improve flow.

Air-Powered Vibrators for Wet Materials


Style 1	Style 2	Style 3	Style 4

Style 5	Style 6	Style 7

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.

Electric Vibrators for Wet Materials


Style 2	Style 3	Style 4

Style 5	Style 1

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

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

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.

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

Cushion-Impact Piston—Vibrators with cushion-impact pistons have an air cushion that prevents metal-to-metal contact.
