I. Introduction

For optimum performance, cycle the vibrator on and off. The vibrator acts as a friction reducer and once the bulk
solid is set into motion, gravity should do the rest. Do not operate the vibrator on an empty hopper as this may cause
structural damage to the hopper.

Vibrators should be operated only when discharge gates are open. Operating the vibrator with the discharge gate
closed will cause the material inside the structure to compact.

Vibration has two important elements – Frequency and Amplitude. Frequency is the speed (RPM) or the number of

vibrations per minute. It is controlled by the oil ow to a hydraulic vibrator or the air ow to a pneumatic vibrator.

Amplitude is the unbalance or amount of force produced by the eccentric weight. The faster the eccentric weights
turn the more force output generated. Force and frequency work together. It is not necessary to use a lot of force

when you adequate frequency.

SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

• Follow all installation instructions.

• Always use a safety cable or chain for support.

• Do not operate vibrators when structure is empty.

• Wear ear protection for 90+ decibel levels.

• Do not operate vibrator if there is a restriction to the exhaust port.

• Do not operate the pneumatic vibrators above 100 psi.

• Always operate pneumatic vibrator with a lter - regulator.

• Always disconnect air line before maintenance.

II. Operation - Air Requirements

Operate on ltered, regulated air between 20 and 80 PSI (1.36 to 5.44 Bar). An air regulator may be used to control
the vibrator speed. Adjust airow until material ow occurs. More air is not always better. Operating the vibrator at

higher pressures will reduce vibrator life.

Cycle the vibrator on and off. Ball vibrators can run continuously, but it is usually not necessary. Once the material
is set into motion, gravity should do the rest. Do not operate the vibrator on an empty hopper.

The vibrator should appear motionless. Vibrators should NOT shake the hopper wall or make an abundance of noise.
Vibrations pass through the structure and into the material.

Do NOT lubricate the ball vibrator. Lubrication is NOT required. Lubrication will collect dirt, impairing proper vibrator
operation.
