Vibrators are electro-mechanical devices that generate vibrations to promote the flow of bulk materials, including powders. In powder conveying systems, they play a crucial role in preventing blockages, promoting material discharge, and ensuring smooth flow through pipelines.
Features:
- Variety of types: Available in electric, pneumatic, and electromagnetic varieties to suit different application needs and material properties.
- Adjustable vibration frequency and intensity: Enables fine-tuning for optimal material flow control.
- Improved material flow: Prevents blockages, bridging, and ratholing, ensuring consistent and efficient powder movement.
- Reduced wear and tear: Minimizes wear and tear on equipment by promoting smooth material flow and preventing material buildup.
- Easy installation: Typically easy to install on hoppers, bins, or directly onto conveying lines.
Uses:
- Preventing blockages: Breaks down cohesive forces that can cause powders to clump and obstruct flow.
- Promoting discharge: Aids in the complete emptying of hoppers and silos, minimizing material waste.
- Enhancing flow through pipelines: Facilitates smooth and consistent powder movement through pipelines, reducing flow disruptions.
- Aiding in cleaning: Vibrations can help loosen and dislodge residual material during cleaning processes.
- Material densification: In certain applications, vibrators can be used to densify powders for efficient storage and transportation.
