Vibration technology has many uses. Most often an industrial vibrator is used to promote the flow of powder and bulk materials from bins, silos and other types of vessels (see video). One other use is in the design and manufacture of vibrating tables for compacting material.
A vibrating table will be custom sized for the intended application. For example, the picture shown here illustrates the use of an electric eccentric vibrator within a vibrating table that is used to compact the soil-fertilizer-etc. mixture within the box of a tree being prepared for shipment to a jobsite by the tree manufacturer/nursery. In this application the vibration compacts the soil tightly around the tree helping to secure it in place for transport and to ensure the proper mixture of soil and fertilizer within the box.
In this application there was a significant savings of labor costs. The trees are packed and compacted far more quickly than before, and the quality of the compaction has improved as well.
If you'd like more information about this type of application or about the use of industrial vibration technology to promote material flow from bins and silos, give Cougar Industries a call at 800-262-2106 or 815-224-1200.
