So much rides on the effectiveness of a electric vibrator. They are used to promote the flow of difficult bulk solids in many applications, including from bins, hoppers and silos. Vibrators promote the flow of material by overcoming the cohesive strength of the material and the friction between the material and bin wall within the cone section of the vessel. They are specifically designed to do this efficiently.

Martin Vibration Systems has been providing material flow-aids for many years and offer cost-effective solutions, expert technical assistance and complete service and support.

Compaction tables are used to compact, settle and combine material. The material is then put into a container in preparation for shipping.

Compaction tables are designed and fabricated to suit the specific needs of your application. Your table can be powered by pneumatic or electric vibrators, and a variety of control configurations are available.

Martin Vibration Systems and Solutions designs compaction tables with quality components and materials to provide a reliable piece of equipment that will prove to be successful for many years to come.

Compaction Tables – Custom designed to meet specific manufacturer needs, these tables can be flat or nested. These tables are versatile and can solve a wide variety of processing problems.  

Flat Deck Tables – These types of tables are well suited for general industry such as compacting materials, removal of entrapped air, consolidating concrete, vibration testing and for food processing and packaging. They can be designed with pneumatic or electric vibrators to meet your specific requirements. 

Nested Tables – These types of tables can be used with single or double conveyor systems.  They are noted for quickly compacting contents like molds, boxes, drums and other containers.

The type of industries that use vibration tables are foundries, concrete, chemical and bulk materials and food processing.

Vibratory feeders play a major role in manufacturing. These parts feeders have many applications. There are two types of feeders, vibratory bowls and conveyors. A bowl feeder as the name suggests is like a bowl with a spiral track along the edge. Vibration allows material to move from the base upward to an outlet near the top. Vibratory conveyors are similar to bowls except they do so in a linear motion, moving materials along a trough or screen.

Both types of feeders allow offer an automated alternative to manually operation therefore cut costs and reduce maintenance. These feeders can move tons of materials, large or small, which reduces the amount of personnel needed to operate. They are very simple in design; one operator can oversee many machines at a time.

Vibratory feeders offer an excellent productive way to move products safely, securely and with optimal use of materials and products. Martin Vibration can meet the needs of any feeding application with any of our MARTIN® E-Z™ Vibratory Feeders. Powered by efficient, lubrication-free pneumatic drives, the simple, all stainless steel fabrication is E-Z to clean – perfect for food, chemical and pharmaceutical applications.

The use of industrial vibrators to enhance the movement and storage of bulk solids has been around since solids were first handled as industrial bulk commodities. Everything from the food you eat, your drinking water, medicines you take and even your home, vibrators played an essential part in the manufacturing of these products.

Industrial vibrators are used in food packaging, chemical, pharmaceutical and even pet food manufacturing. They are used to keep consistent material flow and fill packaging, maintain an even flow which increases production and reduces product loss.

Martin Vibration Systems offers a complete line of vibration solutions including foundry, bakery, chemical, pharmaceutical and railcar to name a few. Our industrial vibrators will reduce noise, lower your energy costs, and lower your overall maintenance costs.

It is common for material flow problems to occur in bins, hoppers, and silos. Many of these problems are caused by a high level of friction between the material and the bin wall, and high cohesive strength within the material. When examining wall friction take into account the wall angle, wall material, smoothness, temperature, moisture, corrosion, abrasive wear, and the time the material remains at rest in the cone where the problem exists. Also the cohesiveness is affected by material properties, including moisture content.

When material flow problems occur solving these problems is essential for efficient production and accurate material inventory management. The key to solving these problems is to employ an industrial electric vibrator. Electric bin vibrators are used to break the friction between wall and material, as well as material cohesiveness, to promote material flow from the bin.

Industrial vibrators when properly selected offer an effective and high value solution. Martin Vibration Systems can provide with that solution. We offer many designs in vibration technology to fit your unique situation.

How does the pharmaceutical industry benefit from Martin’s Vibratory Feeders? Most vibrators operate lubrication-free and Teflon coated. The state-of-the-art designs insure energy-efficiency and long life. Pharmaceutical feeders flow into bucket elevators, onto belt conveyors, feeding weigh scales, packaging equipment or metering product from bins or hoppers to name just some of the more common applications. Conveying by vibration provides a smooth product transfer with no pharmaceutical product degradation.

Eliminate the need to pound railcars with ear-splitting sledge hammers by using the patented POCKET ROCK-IT® Railcar Vibrator from Martin Vibration Systems and Solutions!

Railcar Vibrators utilize lightweight, high-performance vibrators to unload even the most stubborn materials from closed top hopper cars. Both models weigh less than 32 lbs., greatly reducing the risk of back injury.

Getting bulk material to flow readily can be a challenge. A vibratory-feeder is a versatile machine that vibrates and enables loose materials to be conveyed or transferred along a trough, screen or tube. This initiates the movement of bulk materials such as fine powders, grains, aggregates or cement in a forward motion along the trough, similar to a conveyor belt.

A Vibratory feeder is an ideal ‘compact’ solution for increasing bulk handling productivity that integrates easily into an operation or production line. It offers an economical means of product flow for conveying loose materials from volumetric-bins, hoppers and chutes. A vibratory feeder is suitable for just about any industry, application or environment for bulk materials in mixing, blending, batching or packaging operations, for either continuous or intermittent flow.
