NTS Vibrators Loosen Wood Bridges

Monday, December 12th, 2011

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.

Non-Impacting Vibrator NTS 54/02 with VAC Mount

Wednesday, July 20th, 2011

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.

NTS 50/10 Solves Material Flow

Saturday, July 9th, 2011

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.

NTS Vibrators – A Sticky Situation Resolved

Tuesday, April 12th, 2011

Problem:

A Michigan packaging company was having problems getting wood chips to discharge from storage bins.

Situation:

Customer was having problems getting wood chips to discharge from a storage container into a screw conveyor. Due to excess moisture and extremely cold temperatures during the winter, the wood chips were bridging. They were using two men with sledge hammers to regain flow.

Solution:

Martin Vaibration Systems mounted two NTS 50/04 and two NTS 50/02vinrators in different locations. The low air consumption, non-impacting and quiet features of these NTS Vibrators were benefits the customer really liked.

Case Study: Chute Build Up – NTS 54/02 Vibrator

Thursday, October 21st, 2010

Problem:

An automobile assembly plant in Detroit Michigan was experiencing build up on the chute walls in their fuel handling system.

Situation:

This assembly plant has their own coal-fired utility. Some of the chutes in their fuel-handling system plug up from buildup on the chute walls over a period of time. To prevent this from happening operators constantly use air lances and shovels to clean the buildup daily. This took a lot of the operators’ time away from further improvements or maintenance areas in the plant.

Solution:

We introduced the NTS 54/02 on a VAC 20 MOUNT, a portable unit that takes care of the buildup and gives the operators more time to work in other areas.
