VacuVibe: A Portable Industrial Vibrator
VacuVibe Vacuum Mount Vibrators are portable industrial vibrators that enable bulk material flow where traditional vibrators are not an option. For applications like this, where traditional industrial vibrators aren’t a viable solution, Wm. Neundorfer & Co. recommends using the VacuVibe Vacuum Mount Vibrator. In this article we will cover what a portable industrial vibrator is, where they are used, how they work, and the benefits they provide to improve bulk material flow in industrial processes.
What is a VacuVibe Vacuum Mount Vibrator?
The VacuVibe is a portable, pneumatic industrial vibrator for promoting bulk material flow out of a variety of containers. They are also used to help with densify bulk materials in loading applications, helping ensure the most amount of material possible in a given container.
Where are they used?
VacuVibes are used on a wide variety of containers including: bins, chutes, hoppers, railcars, hopper bottom trucks, and many more.
How do they work?
The VacuVibe utilizes a pneumatic piston vibrator and combines it with a customized vacuum pad for quick, easy installation. The vacuum pad and vibrator run of the same pneumatic air supply and are operated independently of one another. This allows the VacuVibe to be placed by prior to running the vibrator. Once placed on the desired area of the container the VacuVibe works like a traditional industrial vibrator. It imparts a high amplitude, low frequency vibration on the container reducing the sliding friction of bulk material and the container walls enabling the stuck material to flow.
Benefits of Portable Industrial Vibrator
Portable Vibration
The main benefit of VacuVibe is it provides portable vibration for applications where using traditional industrial mounting methods is not feasible or cost effective. Consider an application such as moving large number of totes from around a facility to a unloading station. In this example installing vibrators on every tote and then connecting and disconnecting every time one is unloaded is time consuming and costly. Utilizing a VacuVibe at the unloading station that can be quickly be moved from one tote to the next greatly reduces the costs by not having to purchase vibrators for each individual tote and increases productivity by reducing the time spent connecting and disconnecting the vibrators.
Powerful Vibration
The VacuVibe utilizes a repetitive impact vibrator. With each stroke of the vibrator the internal piston strikes the base of the unit and imparts a high amplitude, low frequency vibration on the container and material. This allows the vibrator to initiate and facilitate flow across a wide range of bulk materials including: Grains, Feed, Chemicals, Powders, and many more.
Protect Workers and Equipment
When bulk material flow issues arise, it is common practice to use sledge hammers to hit the containers to initiate and maintain material flow. Using hammers to address material flow issues increases the potential for a work place injury and damages the containers.
