Industrial Pneumatic and Electric Vibrators | AIRMATIC (2024)

Industrial Pneumatic and Electric Vibrators | AIRMATIC (1)Industrial vibrators are designed to facilitate the flow of wet or dry materials in bins, hoppers, chutes and pipes, forms, railcars, bulk trailers, and trucks. The right vibrator can energize and maintain the movement of material by reducing both the coefficient of friction between the bulk material and the structure's walls, and the bulk material's particle-to-particle cohesion and interlocking. The wrong vibrator can compound the handling problem by compacting the material, damaging the structure being vibrated, wasting energy, and creating unwanted noise.

For over 80 years, we at AIRMATIC have been at the forefront of solving bulk material flow problems, successfully prescribing countless vibrators to improve the flow of powders and bulk solids into or out of material containments.

We specialize in rotary pneumatic vibrators, rotary electric vibrators, electromagnetic vibrators, and piston air vibrators to solve problems in a wide range of applications. Some of the key industries we operate in include: feed and grain, mining, pharmaceuticals, concrete construction, aggregate, manufacturing, cement, food, plastics, power generation, water filtration, waste handling, and public utilities. Vibrators are economical to buy, install, and operate, and can be retrofitted to existing structures. When properly selected, located, and controlled, they will allow speed and force adjustment should the operating parameters or bulk material change.

We offer the most extensive range of air and electric vibrators in the material handling industry. Talk with us about what solutions would best suit your needs.

Problems Solved with Flow Aids from AIRMATIC

In bulk material handling, issues like funneling, ratholing, plugging, doming/arching, bridging, caking, and scale build-up often occur in bins, hoppers, and silos. These flow problems can disrupt operations, reduce efficiency, and lead to costly downtime. The selection of flow aid equipment, such as rotary or linear vibrators, air cannons, bin aerators, or sonic horns, depends on the characteristics of the bulk material and the type of flow obstruction.

Rotary and linear vibrators are ideal for materials prone to bridging or ratholing, where internal friction and cohesive forces cause obstructions. Vibrators induce mechanical agitation, breaking these blockages by shaking the structure and material, facilitating consistent flow.

Air cannons work by blasting powerful bursts of compressed air into the bin or silo, dislodging material buildup and preventing plugging and doming/arching in difficult-to-reach areas. This method is particularly effective for sticky, moist, or fibrous materials.

Bin aerators are suitable for fine, dry powders that tend to compact and cause caking or bridging. These devices introduce low-pressure air into the bulk material to aerate it, reducing material compaction and promoting smooth discharge.

Sonic horns utilize low-frequency sound waves to vibrate the walls of the structure, loosening materials like dust or fine particles, addressing caking and scale build-up.

By matching the appropriate equipment to the specific flow problem, facilities can maintain uninterrupted material flow and ensure operational efficiency.
