Types of Industrial Vibrators To Consider For All Industries

Industrial vibrators are complex machines that employ vibration to break down static bindings or cloggings that accumulate between your product and the walls of your storage or transportation containers. They are intended to make it easier for materials to flow in places like: 

• Bins
• Hoppers
• Chutes
• Pipes
• Railcars
• Bulk trailers 
• Elbow Chute
• Screen

The proper vibrator can stimulate and prolong material movement through the following process: 

• Reducing both the coefficient of friction between the bulk material and the structure's walls 
• Reducing the particle-to-particle cohesion 
• Interlocking of the bulk material

On the other hand, the incorrect size of vibrator can worsen the handling problem by: 

• Compacting the material
• Causing damage to the structure being vibrated
• Wasting energy
• Producing unnecessary noise

Which Industries Use Industrial Vibrators?

Since the development of industrial vibrators, various industries have benefited from this equipment. Listed below are a few different industries that utilise industrial vibrators during the manufacturing process. 

Automotive Part and Metal Part Industry

Manufacturers of automobiles part and metal part rely on vibration to evaluate the quality of parts. The testing engineers may expose parts to accurate, repeatable frequencies, amplitudes, and accelerations by adjusting the settings on these vibrators.

As a result, data is gathered on a variety of traits, including fatigue strength. Based on the results of the testing, adjustments can therefore be made.

Construction Industry

The ability to produce large amounts of concrete is essential to the success of the construction industry that builds substantial structures like: 

• Concrete pile/pipe
• Concrete casting
• Concrete structure

Utilising an industrial vibrator to deliver vibration to the concrete as it dries is one incredibly efficient way to meet these specifications. The process pushes any air bubbles that may have been trapped to the surface and strengthens the finished product.

Manufacturing Industry

Production in the manufacturing sector is made possible by industrial VIBRA® vibrators, which are smooth, effective, and faultless. They are used during the following stages: 

• Conveying and disentangling drives
• Aggregate sieving and dosing drives
• Bulk material compacting drives

Transport operations are modulated by vibration tables, showing how well a product or its packaging can endure vibrations. The outcome of the experiment is evidence of great quality.

The Types of Industrial Vibrators

Aside from the various industries that use industrial vibrators, this equipment also comes in various types. In order to pick the right kind of vibrator, here are some explanations of the different functions and abilities. 

Electric Vibrators

Electric vibrators, which should not be mistaken for electric hammers, are rotary-type vibrators. For example, VIBRA® electric vibrators employ the centrifugal force produced by a mass rotating around a central point to remove the materials adhered to a bin. 

To maintain optimal force and frequency, which promote efficiency, rotary electric vibrators need a sturdy mount. These electric-powered vibrators are perfect for general material flow as well as other functions, such as:

• Separators
• Vibration tables
• Fluidised beds
• Compactors
• Feeding

Pneumatic Vibrators

Pneumatic vibrators are a great alternative to electric vibrators in situations that are either impracticable or would prematurely wear out due to short on-off cycles. Some pneumatic vibrators employ rotary motion to apply forces, while others use linear vibration to move a piston back and forth along an axis. With VIBRA® Pneumatic Vibrators, no lubrication is required and it produce less noise than other types of vibrators.

To remove materials from a bin or shoot, these vibrators rely on pressurised air, which is available at many production facilities. 

Piston Vibrators

Piston vibrators have been successfully utilised for many years in a wide range of industries to maintain the flow of bulk materials. Every day, piston vibrators can be seen in locations like:

• Chutes
• Bins
• Hoppers
• Pipes
• Silos

The vibrators are utilised to prevent various materials from unwanted complications such as:

• Clogging
• Plugging
• Bridging
• Rat holing

Piston vibrators can be used on materials like:

• Sand
• Coal
• Polymers
• Cereals
• Minerals
• Chemicals 

In a pneumatic piston vibrator, compressed air is used to move a piston up and down inside a vibrator housing. This action creates the vibration required to resolve persistent material flow problems. VIBRA® piston vibrators are capable of delivering very high centrifugal forces that can help resolve this problem further.

For piston vibrators, the vibration produced by the vibrator must be delivered from the vibrator to the material vessel for the system to function properly and create a response strong enough to dislodge the clogged material and feeding material
