Industrial vibrators have been around for over 50 years. Many industries use them to lower energy costs and also to cut out a large amount of noise. They can include compacting vibrators, concrete vibrators, linear and electric vibrators. There are a wide range of electric models with frequencies of 900 to 3600. Output forces can be 20 lbs to as much as 50,000 lbs. Horse power ranges can begin at 1/50 to 17-1/2 HP.
Industrial vibrators can be either internal or external, ranging from low and high frequency models. Although rugged, quality industrial vibrators should be energy efficient. Some contain up to 20% less noise than the impacting series.
Industries which use industrial vibrators are generally Construction, Chemical, Food, Plastics, Steel and Pharmaceutical companies.

Martin Vibration Systems designs PKL Impactors to generate individual blows similar to that of a hammer. The impact provides high acceleration and the exact force required to move sticky or clinging materials from storage vessel walls. The impacts per minute are variable between 10 and 60, without the use of a timing device. The controllability of the units ensures the right force to do the job, reducing noise, energy costs, and bin damage.

Problem:
A manufacturer in Midland, MI uses a wood-burning powerhouse for their plant. The problems they were having was the wood was forming bridges inside their five feeders.
Situation:
They tried using vibrators to shake the wood bridges loose but only had minimal success. Operators had to take time to loosen the bridges.
Solution:
Our solution was to mount several NTS 50/04 vibrators. The vibrators wereset up a timer system to supply air every minute for 15 seconds to each vibrator. This has solved their bridging problem. Therefore, wood gets to their belts and the operators are free to work in other areas of the plant.

Problem:
A manufacturer of stainless food handling equipment was having a problem with product damage in the handling of Spanish-style peanuts. The stainless storage bin metered on to a belt at various rates depending on package size.
Situation:
The current solution was to hammer on the bin with a rubber mallet to induce heavier flow for larger packaging.
Solution:
The addition of a MARTIN® CD18—470 Vibrator (set back to the lowest setting) moves the product smoothly with minimal damage.
The manufacturer has since standardized on our products.

MARTIN® PKL® Interval Impactors generate individual blows similar to a hammer. The impact provides very high acceleration, the exact force required to move sticky or clinging materials from storage vessel walls. The impacts per minute are variable between 10 and 60, without the use of a timing device. The superb controllability of the MARTIN® PKL® Interval Impactors ensures just the right force to do the job, reducing noise, energy costs and bin damage.
Impactors have a high acceleration which moves material effeciently. They are etremely low ebergy consumption and are adjustable for precise control.
Best uses are to remove sticky materials from bin walls, cleaning dusty residue from surfaces and breaking “bridged’ materials. Best places are for spray dryers, pipes and dust collectors.

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.

Problem:
A Michigan manufacturer was experiencing a buildup of limestone fines on the bottom slope section of their screens. This buildup caused the bottom screen to blind which would then cause the next screen to blind, and so on until every screen deck was blinded to the top.
Situation:
If the conveyor feeding the screen was not shut down in time tons of material would spill and overflow. Then production would come to a halt. They would have to hammer out the buildup, which would take hours and therefore costs would be passed on to the consumer.
Solution:
Our solution was to mount a non-impacting vibrator to the sloped section of the screen to remove the fines. The NTS 54/02 with VAC 20 Mount was assembled to test. We let the unit run for one hour. The results no fines build up, no blinding of the screens and no loss of production.

This past year we have designed, built and tested three major size compaction tables. All three compaction table designs are suited for large weight bearing material.
The first one, nearly 4,000 lbs, was built with a chain pulled cart running underneath and a special frame to support such a large load.
Our second design was specially designed for compacting 250 lbs load. It has a minimal height and the smallest lift and diameter air bags were needed.
Our third design, we refer to as the “Grand Daddy” of vibratory tables has three sections tied together to work in unison. The welded construction had to support 3,000 lbs. A special control panel was created operate the vibrators.
At Martin Engineering we can assist you in developing a compaction table to suit your customer’s needs. Please send your request for our technical support people to review and advise the best means to solve a compaction challenge.

Problem:
A chemical plant was having a problem with material moving through a 60″ x 12″ chute with the help of a piston vibrator caused enough noise that “neighbors” complained. I realized that linear vibration would move the material, so the impacting, quiet.
Situation:
This company makes a variety of chemicals in small lots to test for mass production. Material size, consistency, and moisture content changed daily causing it to rathole and bridge in the dryer.
Solution:
The solution was to use an NTS 50/10 mounted on the dryer. This allows the customer to easily adjust the frequency and amplitude to meet changing demands. Also, the vibrator rotates with the dryer; therefore, the quick-connect air couplings increase efficiency.
