Pneumatic Vibrators

For 75 years we’ve helped industry take advantage of these benefits in standard and unique applications.  We have a full scope of safe, reliable pneumatic vibrators from a number of manufacturers, and we’re ready to help.

Compressed air is commonly accepted as a facility’s fourth utility.  When properly installed and maintained it is an extremely efficient and safe method to both control and transmit energy to a wide range of equipment including pneumatic vibrators.  The use of air vibrators to solve flow problems continues to grow because it has a number of advantages: 

• Productivity and Power –air vibrators convert 100% of input power into output power delivering more torque and higher RPM;
• Lower Cost – air vibrators have fewer moving parts so little maintenance and repair is required, and their energy consumption can be completely controlled;
• Safety – air vibrators are used in environments where moisture, conductive materials, and even explosive and flammable atmospheres are a problem;
• Versatility – air vibrators have a great power-to-weight ratio so they are ideal in situations where space is tight or weight matters;
• Work Through a Power Failure – air vibrators run off a compressor’s stored power so they run when the power goes out.

Types of Pneumatic Vibrators

Rotary Air Vibrators

Pneumatic Rotary Vibrators are ideal where the flow problem is primarily caused by a material’s particle to particle interaction forces, and the material to bin wall friction of dry (≤ 5% moisture) bulk solids — the primary causes of a bulk solid’s tendency to bridge, arch, build-up or rat-hole. These relatively dry materials respond best to rotary vibration which produces an omni-directional centrifugal force that can be applied over a proportionately large surface area to transmit energy waves through a bin/chute’s steel wall directly into the material to promote flow.

Piston Air Vibrators

Much like a hammer, reciprocating piston vibrators generate linear impact force through the repeated driving of a piston directly against a base plate or a cushion of air between the piston and base plate. They produce impulses acting perpendicular to the Form and usually operate in the frequencies of 1,000 to 5,000 vibrations per minute (VPM). The speed (VPM) is based on model selected and the air pressure and volume supplied. They work best for wet, sticky, clinging bulk materials.
