Portable Magnetic-Mount Air-Powered Vibrators for Dry Materials
Move this vibrator to the source of your flow problem. It is lightweight and has a magnetic mount, so it can be attached to steel and iron containers. Use an adhesive-back metal pad (sold separately) to attach it to nonferrous containers. This vibrator is often used to shake powders, grains, and small parts to maintain a steady flow through your bin. Every 10 pounds of dry material requires one pound of force to move it. If your bin has 200 pounds of dry material, you need a vibrator with at least 20 pounds of force.

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.

Bracket-Mount Air-Powered Vibrators for Wet Materials
Weld a bracket to each of your containers and move these vibrators from job to job. They're commonly used to dislodge sticky, caked-on materials from container walls. 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.
