Syntron Vibrators
Syntron Vibrators offer an efficient, cost-effective means to maintain free flow of product from bins, hoppers and chutes, with a direct and positive result on the bottom line. Whether the need is to ensure constant, uninterrupted material flow, or to eliminate the necessity for manual manipulation of a bin, hopper or bulk material, Syntron Vibrators increase productivity and reduce production costs. Three types of Syntron Vibrators electromagnetic, rotary electric and pneumatic provide product flow solutions for just about any industry, application or environment. Compact yet mighty, Syntron Vibrators are designed for years of high-performance, trouble-free continuous or intermittent operation, with the broadest selection of models and power ranges available. Syntron Electromagnetic Vibrators are ideal for continuous or intermittent operation. An easily adjustable control assures optimum and variable material flow. Dependable Syntron Electromagnetic Vibrators are virtually maintenance-free because the electromagnetic design eliminates moving parts. Most models come standard with fully-enclosed dust-tight and watertight construction. Syntron Electric Rotary Vibrators are motor driven for reduced noise levels. These rugged vibrators are totally enclosed for reliable operation in dusty, dirty or moist environments. Adjustable eccentric weights allow easy adjustment of force to suit varying applications. Syntron Pneumatic Vibrators can be installed where electricity is not readily available because they use compressed air. Two types of pneumatic vibrators, turbine and piston, are available. Designed to keep operating noise at a minimum, Syntron Pneumatic Turbine Vibrators are ideal for locations where noise pollution is undesirable. Vibrator speed is adjusted by simply varying the air supply. Pneumatic turbine vibrators feature totally enclosed construction which eliminates concern over environmental factors such as dust, dirt or moisture.

Syntron Electromagnetic Vibrator Models

Syntron V-2 and V-4 Electromagnetic Vibrators are two of the smallest industrial vibrators available. These versatile vibrators can be controlled electrically with a separate control. When these vibrators are operated without a control, they can be mechanically controlled by turning an easily accessible adjusting screw. Increased amplitude can be obtained by using rectified AC power. Flexibility and ease of installation are common to both models and the Model V-4 is available with a dusttight case. Models V-9 and V-20 are compact in size, but at 3600 vpm, they pack enough vibratory punch to excel in a wide range of applications. Each is available with a separate dust-tight case. Typical applications for the above models include installations on small bins, handling lightweight materials, or in counting, sorting or packaging operations.
Impact and Cushioned Vibrator Compact Models

V-4 V-9, V-20
V-41
V-50 V-51
Models V-50, V-85 and V-180 are solid impact vibrators. These units use a metal striking block to produce positive impact. Models V-41, V-51, V-86 and V-181 are cushioned impact vibrators, which utilize a rubber striking block to produce positive impact. Their high power/low noise characteristics make them ideal for use in confined areas with nearby workers. Physical dimensions and electrical specifications are identical to the solid impact type vibrators. Dust-tight and waterproof construction are standard for both versions.
Open Models
V-75
V-85 V-86
Models V-75 and V-500 feature a power-packed, solid impact, open-type design. They are used on difficult, heavy-duty applications. The V-500 is one of the largest magnetic vibrators available. Both the V-75 and V-500 are available with a separate dust-tight case.
Self-Contained Models
V-180 V-181
Models V-9 through V-500 require separate controls unless specifically ordered as self-contained units. Self-contained units include a built-in rectifier and they always operate at full force. Self-contained units are recommended only where no force adjustment is required. Models V-41 and V-500 are not available as self-contained units.

Selecting the Proper Syntron Electromagnetic Vibrator

The primary consideration in vibrator selection is the thickness of the bin or chute wall. Once the proper vibrator model has been selected from the Application Tabulation Table, compare the capacity in the tapered portion of the bin with the rated capacity shown in the table. If the rated capacity is exceeded, multiple vibrators may be required, depending on the material being handled. Stiffeners used to reinforce the bin or chute may also affect the selection or preferred location of the vibrator. Please contact FMC Technologies for a copy of our data sheet and assistance with selection of appropriate units in these applications.

Electromagnetic Vibrators Mounting Syntron Electromagnetic Vibrators

Correct location of electromagnetic vibrators is of prime importance in obtaining maximum efficiency from the selected model. Note: Operate vibrators on hoppers only when the hopper is open to flow. Otherwise, vibration may pack the hopper contents.
Curved Surfaces Rectangular or Cylindrical Bins with Flat Bottom and Center Discharge.
Parabolic Bins or Hoppers
Rectangular Hoppers
Mount the vibrator within one foot of each discharge opening and in line with center of opening.
Mount vibrator and mounting channel as for a conical hopper or a curved surface. If a stiffener obstructs mounting, mount the vibrator in the middle of the panel next to the stiffener. If required, a second vibrator should be mounted on the opposite face at a slightly higher elevation.

Conical Hoppers
Mount the vibrator to the hopper (as for a curved surface) 12 to 18 inches (300 to 450 mm) or less from the discharge.
/8 of L or Less
Inclined Chutes
Hopper with Sloping Discharge
Mount the vibrator on the center line of the hopper, as close to the discharge as possible. An additional vibrator may be required on the discharge chute.
Note: Drawings illustrate typical installations. Specific installations may require slight variations. For other applications not covered here, please consult factory for recommendations.
Chutes less than 10 to 12 feet (3 to 3.6 m) long are usually / L equipped with just one vibrator located well below the center. / L L Allow for the vibrator to be moved about one foot (300 mm) 18 to 24 in in either direction. On chutes (450 to 600 mm) requiring more than one vibrator, the first one should be located 18 to 24 inches (450 to 500 mm) from the outlet. The second unit should be mounted about half-way between the first vibrator and the upper end. Allow for the vibrators to be moved about one foot (300 mm) in either direction.
1 2 1 2

Approx. 1' (.3m)
To mount a vibrator to a curved surface, select a bracket made from a channel section or a bent plate. A center gusset is required for all totally enclosed vibrators, and two blocks of sufficient height to contact the curved surface are required for Models V-75 and V-500. The selected gusset or blocks must be securely welded to the underside of the bracket and curved surface. This arrangement is required to stiffen the mounting and transmit vibrations directly to the hopper contents. Mounting bolt heads can be welded to the underside of the bracket.
Mount directly to the side of the bin, just below the point where the materials natural angle of repose intersects the side, as shown.
ss r Le f Lo L / o
Screw Feeder
Belt Conveyor and Standard Bin
Screw conveyors feed from the back of the hopper. Vibrator should be 1/3 from the inlet. If two vibrators are used, place second vibrator on opposite side, 1/3 from the discharge. Do not operate the vibrator at the discharge end until the back of the bin is empty and the vibrator at the inlet is shut off.
Mount vibrator on the belt discharge side of the hopper. Follow mounting instructions for the appropriate bin type on page 12.
Concrete Hopper or Lined Wooden Hopper
For wooden hoppers lined with thin sheet metal, attach vibrator mounting bolts to the hopper lining. For concrete hoppers, secure a steel plate across the top inside of the hopper, to the discharge opening along the side to which the vibrator will be mounted. At about one-quarter or less of the distance from the discharge to the vertical side, cut an opening to allow the vibrator to be bolted to the steel plate.
Short Screw Feeder
Place vibrator as close as possible to feeder.
Long Bin
Belt conveyors feed from the front of the hopper. Vibrator should be 1/3 from front. If two vibrators are used, place one on the opposite side and 1/3 from back. Do not operate the back vibrator until the front is empty and the front vibrator is shut off.

Selecting the Proper Syntron Electric Rotary Vibrator for Rotational and Elliptical Applications
Bins or Hoppers
In order to move material in a bin or hopper, the friction between the material and the bin wall must be broken. Once the friction is broken, the material cannot cling to the sides of the bin and it will flow out through the discharge. For most applications, the vibrator force needed to accomplish this is simply calculated as follows:
I Calculate the weight of the material in the transition or sloping part of the bin. Normally, this is the only place where the friction between the material and the bin side has to be broken. Do not calculate the total weight, only what is in the transition part of the bin. For conical bins, calculate as follows: .261 x dia.2 x height x material density in lb/ft3 (kg/m3) For rectangular bins, calculate as follows: Length x width x height x 1/3 x material density.
ROTATIONAL
obtained with 1 Electric Vibrator
ELLIPTICAL
obtained with 1 Electric Vibrator (not in center of gravity)
For packing or settling materials, use a vibrator with an impact force of one-and-a-half to two times larger than the weight of the material plus container. Find a suitable vibrator in the tables on pages 20 - 29.
I I
When the weight (lb) has been calculated, divide the weight by 10 to get the force or impact needed from the vibrator (lbf). For example: The conical part of a 25-ton bin contains 7000 lb Divide 7,000 by 10 to get the force (lbf) or impact needed from the vibrator. Find a suitable vibrator on pages 20 - 29. Additional considerations when sizing vibrators to bins:
I I I I If the bin side angle is less than 30 degrees, select a larger vibrator. If the bin has a vertical section, select a larger vibrator. If the bin wall is extra thick select a larger vibrator. On very sticky and hard to move materials, it is better to use two small vibrators instead of one large one (size the two smaller ones by dividing the required force in half).
Vibrating Screens
For self-cleaning screen, use a vibrator with a centrifugal force (impact) four times the weight of the material plus the weight of the screen. Note: Coarse, lumpy, sticky or wet materials respond best to high-frequency vibration; powdery and dry materials to low-frequency vibration.
Consolidating Concrete
For three-inch slump concrete, use a vibrator with the same force (impact) as the weight of concrete and form. For one- to two-inch slump concrete, an additional 30 to 50 percent impact is needed. For dry mixes (zero slump) increase the impact by 100 to 200 percent.
Vibrating Tables for Packing Materials

Dense materials respond best to high-frequency vibration (3600 rpm or more), while light, fluffy or flaky materials respond best to low-frequency vibration (1800 rpm or less).
Chutes
The force required of the vibrator is equal to the weight of the chute plus the vibrator plus the maximum material in the chute. See page 30 for more information.

* As a general rule it is advisable to limit designs for a maximum of 5 Gs of acceleration. In specialized applications or designs it may be acceptable to exceed the 5 G acceleration limit. Consult factory for guidelines.
Example:
Known information: Type of process Type of vibration Estimated vibrators weight: = quarry primary feeder = linear (2 vibrators) = 825 lb (25% of vibrating structure) Stroke (from table) Speed (from table) Power Supply = .26 = 1,200 RPM = 60 Hz
Weight of vibrating structure = 3,300 lb
Vibrator rough selection:

I. Considering the known information from above use the table on page 18 to determine rough Speed (RPM) needed. (In the example above the RPM range is 900 - 1,200 for a Primary Feeding process at 60Hz.) II. Using the Speed and Stroke table above, select the appropriate vibrator pole size based on your Hz and Speed requirements. (In the example above the pole selection is 6 based on 60Hz and 1,200 Speed (RPM).) III. Using the formulas below, determine SMv (Static Moment) required for this application. a. e = S / 2 = > .26 / 2 = .13 in b. SMt = Wt x e = > (3300 + 825) x .13 = 536 c. SMv = SMt / Number of Vibrators = > 536 / 2 = 268 lb*in IV. Referencing the charts on pages 20 - 29 the FMC model number selection is SPV6-14000 based on 6 pole, 60Hz and a Static Moment of 268 or greater. (Actual Static Moment for this vibrator is 319.7)
Checking the FMC model selection:

SMt = SMv x 2 Wt = Ws + Wv e = SMt / Wt = 319 (actual SMv from page 26) x 2 = 3300 + (477 (actual wt from page 26) x 2) = 638 / 4254 = 638 lb*in = 4254.0 lb = .15 in
* In the example above by using two SPV6-14000 vibrators, the desired eccentricity 0.13 can be reached with 87% setting of weights (SMt 638 x 87% = 555/4254 = .13 in). * If additional adjustments are required, the following larger model SPV6-15000 can be selected, recalculating the eccentricity formula to reach 81% of weight setting. * When selecting a vibrator it is always advisable to use approximately 80% of the Static Moment or Centrifugal Force reported in the catalog in order to leave 20% of extra performance available in case on site adjustments are required. According to this assumption all our vibrators are set at 80% before shipment.

Electric Rotary Vibrators Mounting Syntron Electric Rotary Vibrators

Vibrator selection and installation is based upon individual application requirements. For vibration distribution, each electric rotary bin vibrator should be mounted midway, on a length of channel, welded with its legs against the side of the bin. All electric rotary bin vibrator models can be mounted with the shaft in any position from horizontal to near vertical. For maximum effectiveness, chutes requiring vibrators should be independently isolated. In addition, the vibrator should be mounted midway on a channel located underneath the length of the chute. Note: For free-flowing bulk material installations, vibrators on hoppers should operate only when the hopper is open to flow. Otherwise, packing of material can result.
Conical Hoppers Mount vibrator by channel-iron stiffener 3 to 7 feet long (1-2 m) to hopper wall, one-fourth to one-third the distance from the discharge to the top. A second vibrator (if necessary) should be mounted diametrically opposite and approximately halfway up
the bin wall.
1/
3'-7' (1-2 m)
Rectangular Hoppers Mount as for conical hoppers on the centerline of one side. A second vibrator may be required if complete cleaning of all corners and sides is desired. To mount, follow instructions for conical hoppers.
Chutes To move the material in a chute, the chute should be inclined to no less than half the "angle of repose" of the material (at least 10 degrees). On chutes from six to 10 feet (1.8 - 3 m) long, two vibrators are needed; one should be placed 18 - 24 inches (457 - 610 mm) from the discharge and the other approximately in the middle. Since chutes are very sensitive to vibration, a provision should be made to move the lower vibrator six inches (152 mm) in either direction. This could mean the difference between moving the material or not moving it. Vibrator shaft (eccentric weight) should be rotating in the direction of material flow.

Rectangular Bins with Hopper Bottoms Usually requires larger force vibrators than conical or rectangular hoppers because of additional head load. Locate vibrator one-fourth to one-third the distance up sloping section of bin wall, and follow mounting instructions for conical hoppers.
Bins with Sloping Discharge Mount the vibrator one-sixteenth to oneeighth the distance up bin wall that is contiguous with the underside of chute. This lower mounting position puts vibrator close to bin discharge throat and assures vibration transference into chute.
Bin or Hopper with Vertical Side Mount vibrator on wall with the least slope. Follow mounting instructions for rectangular bins with hopper bottoms.
Parabolic Bins or Hoppers Mount vibrator within one foot of each discharge opening and in line with center of opening.

Screw Feeder Feeds from the back. Vibrator should be 1/3 from the inlet. If two vibrators are used, place second vibrator on opposite side, 1/3 from the discharge. Do not run the vibrator at the discharge until the back of the bin is empty and the vibrator at the inlet is shut off. Long Bin Belt conveyor feeds from front. Vibrator should be 1/3 from front. If two vibrators are used, place one on opposite side and 1/3 from back. Do not operate the back vibrator until the front is empty and the front vibrator is shut off.

Short Screw Feeder Place vibrator as close as possible to feeder.
Belt Conveyor and Standard Bin Mount vibrator on the belt discharge side of the hopper. Follow mounting instructions for the appropriate bin type on page 30.
Concrete Hopper or Lined Wooden Hopper For wooden hoppers lined with thin sheet metal, attach vibrator mounting bolts to the hopper lining. For concrete hoppers, secure a steel plate across the top inside of the hopper to the discharge opening along the side to which the vibrator will be mounted. At about 1/4 or less of the distance from the discharge to the vertical side, cut an opening to allow the vibrator to be bolted to the steel plate.
Vibrating Feeder and Standard Bin Mount vibrator on the feeder infeed side of the hopper. Follow mounting instructions for the appropriate bin type on page 30.

Syntron Pneumatic Turbine Vibrators

Syntron Pneumatic Turbine Vibrators from FMC Technologies offer a convenient, reliable alternative to other vibrators. Designed to keep noise pollution at a minimum, Syntron Turbine Vibrators aid in controlling the flow of material in almost any application, from screening, sizing and separating both fine and coarse materials, to aiding the flow of materials from supply hoppers and chutes, to driving parts feeders.* Unlike other vibrators, Syntron turbine vibrators use compressed air to turn a turbine wheel, allowing air to be channeled through the unit and then through a muffler. This makes turbine vibrators convenient in locations where electricity is not readily available. Speed is adjusted by simply varying the air supply. Additionally, the vibrator's sealed bearings are prelubricated for life, making them ideal for food and other applications where oily exhaust air is unacceptable. And, their compact, totally enclosed construction eliminates concern over environmental factors such as dust, dirt or moisture. There are three types of Syntron Pneumatic Turbine Vibrators: TAM, TBM and TB.

Selecting the Proper Syntron Pneumatic Turbine Vibrator

Bins or Hoppers
In order to move material in a bin or hopper, the friction between the material and the bin wall must be broken. Once the friction is broken, material cannot cling to the sides of the bin and it will flow out through the discharge. For 80 percent of all turbine bin vibrator applications, the vibrator force needed to accomplish this is simply calculated as follows: I Calculate the weight of the material in the transition or sloping part of the bin. Normally, this is the only place where the friction between the material and the bin side has to be broken. Do not calculate the total weight, only what is in the transition part of the bin. I For conical bins, calculate as follows: 0.261 x dia.2 x height x material density in lb/ft3 (kg/m3) I For rectangular bins, calculate as follows: Length x width x height x 1/3 x material density.a

Vibrating Tables for Packing Materials

Dense materials respond best to high-frequency vibration while light, fluffy or flaky materials respond best to low-frequency vibration. For packing or settling materials, use a vibrator with an impact force of one-and-a-half to two times larger than the weight of the material plus container. Find a suitable vibrator on pages 36 and 38.
NOTE: For selecting the proper pneumatic piston vibrator model, see page 42.
When the weight (lb) has been calculated, divide the weight by 10 to get the force or impact needed from the vibrator (lbf). If the weight is calculated in kg, divide the weight by 1.02 to get the force or impact needed from the vibrator (N). For example: The conical part of a 25-ton bin contains 7000 lb. Divide 7,000 by 10 to get the force (lbf) or impact needed from the vibrator. Find a suitable vibrator on pages 35, 36 and 38. I If the bin side angle is less than 30 degrees, select a larger vibrator. Additional considerations when sizing vibrators to bins:
Vibrating Screens
For self-cleaning screens, use a vibrator with a centrifugal force (impact) four times the weight of the material plus the weight of the screen.
NOTE: Coarse, lumpy, sticky or wet materials respond best to highfrequency vibration; powdery and dry materials respond best to lowfrequency vibration.
I If the bin has a vertical section, select a larger vibrator.
I If the bin wall is extra thick (see tables pages 35, 36 and 38), select a larger vibrator.
Consolidating Concrete
For three-inch "slump" concrete, use a vibrator with the same force (impact) as the weight of concrete and form. For one- to two-inch slump concrete, an additional 30 to 50 percent impact is needed. For dry mixes (zero slump), increase the impact by 100 to 200 percent.
I On very sticky and hard to move materials, it is better to use two small vibrators instead of one large one (size the two smaller ones by dividing the required force in half).
Chutes
The force required of the vibrator is equal to the weight of the chute plus vibrator plus maximum material in the chute. See page 40 for more details.

Pneumatic Vibrators
Mounting Syntron Pneumatic Turbine Vibrators
Vibrator selection and installation is based upon individual application requirements. For vibration distribution, each pneumatic turbine vibrator should be mounted midway, on a length of channel, welded with its legs against the side of the bin. All vibrator models can be mounted with the shaft in any position, from horizontal to vertical. For maximum effectiveness, chutes requiring vibrators should be independently isolated. In addition, the vibrator should be mounted midway on a channel located underneath the length of the chute. Note: For free-flowing bulk material applications, vibrators on hoppers should operate only when the hopper is open to flow. Otherwise, packing of material can result.
Conical Hoppers Mount vibrator by channeliron stiffener 3 to 7 feet long (1-2 m) to hopper wall, onefourth to one-third the distance from the discharge to the top. A second vibrator (if necessary) should be mounted diametrically opposite and approximately halfway up the bin wall.
1/ 4
3'-7' (1-2 m)
Rectangular Hoppers Mount as for conical hoppers on the centerline of one side. A second vibrator may be required if complete cleaning of all corners and sides is desired. To mount, follow instructions for conical hoppers. Rectangular Bins with Hopper Bottoms Usually requires larger force vibrators than conical or rectangular hoppers because of additional head load. Locate vibrator one-fourth to onethird the distance up sloping section of bin wall, and follow mounting instructions for conical hoppers.
to 1/ 3 o fL L
Chutes To move the material in a chute, the chute should be inclined to no less than half the "angle of repose" of the material (at least 10 degrees). On chutes from 6 to 10 feet (1.8 - 3 m) long, two vibrators are needed; one should be placed 18-24 inches (457 - 610 mm) from the discharge and the other approximately in the middle. Since chutes are very sensitive to vibration, provision should be made to move lower vibrator six inches (152 mm) in either direction. This could mean the difference between moving the material or not moving it.

Bins with Sloping Discharge Mount the vibrator one-eighth to onesixteenth the distance up bin wall that is contiguous with the underside of chute. This lower mounting position puts vibrator close to bin discharge throat and assures vibration transference into chute.
Bin or Hopper with Vertical Side Mount vibrator on wall with the least slope. Follow mounting instructions for rectangular bins with hopper bottoms.
Parabolic Bins or Hoppers Mount vibrator within one foot of each discharge opening and in line with center of opening.
Screw Feeder Feeds from the back. Vibrator should be 1/3 from the inlet. If two vibrators are used, place second vibrator on opposite side, 1/3 from the discharge. Do not run the vibrator at the discharge until the back of the bin is empty and the vibrator at the inlet is shut off.
Long Bin Belt conveyor feeds from front. Vibrator should be 1/3 from front. If two vibrators are 1 W /3W used, place one on opposite side and 1/3 from L back. Do not operate the back vibrator until the front is empty and 1 /3L the front vibrator is shut off.
Short Screw Feeder Place vibrator as close as possible to feeder.
Belt Conveyor and Standard Bin Mount vibrator on the belt discharge side of the hopper. Follow mounting instructions for the appropriate bin type on page 40.
Concrete Hopper or Lined Wooden Hopper For wooden hoppers lined with thin sheet metal, attach vibrator mounting bolts to the hopper lining. For concrete hoppers, secure a steel plate across the top inside of the hopper to the discharge opening along the side to which the vibrator will be mounted. At about 1/4 or less of the distance from the discharge to the vertical side, cut an opening to allow the vibrator to be bolted to the steel plate.
Vibrating Feeder and Standard Bin Mount vibrator on the feeder infeed side of the hopper. Follow mounting instructions for the appropriate bin type on page 40.
Wood Bin Use steel plate on inside and bolt to outside mounting plate.

Pneumatic Vibrators
PV and PVS Piston Vibrator Series

Positive Punch for Difficult Applications
Syntron Piston Vibrators from FMC Technologies assure the flow of materials through bins, chutes and weigh batchers. Their cast iron, flat base construction provides an efficient means of transmitting shock energy developed by the reciprocating piston to the mounting surface. Syntron Piston Vibrators are available in two models: High impact (PV) and Reduced Noise (PVS). PVS vibrators (impact against a cushion of air) can be used where noise is objectionable. Unlike turbine vibrators, piston vibrators require lubrication with oil, SAE-10 or lighter. Lack of oil in the air rapidly wears down the piston and cylinder wall.

Piston Vibrator Selection

In order to move material in a bin or hopper, the friction between the material and the bin wall must be broken. Once the friction is broken, material cannot cling to the sides of the bin and it will flow out through the discharge. A prime consideration in selecting the correct piston bin vibrator is wall thickness. The following formulas calculate material in the restricted area which is used as a guide to determine the number of piston bin vibrators necessary.
I Calculate the weight of the material in the transition or sloping part of the bin. Normally, this is the only place where the friction between the material and the bin side has to be broken. Do not calculate the total weight, only what is in the transition part of the bin. I For conical bins, calculate as follows: 0.261 x dia.2 x height x material density in lb/ft3 (kg/m3)
I For rectangular bins, calculate as follows: Length x width x height x 1/3 x material density.
Chutes
The force required of the vibrator is equal to the weight of the chute plus vibrator plus maximum material in the chute. See page 43 for more detail.

Pneumatic Vibrators Pneumatic Bin Vibrators, contd.

Mounting Syntron Pneumatic Piston Vibrators
To obtain maximum efficiency from pneumatic piston vibrators, correct location is important. Mount the vibrator with the centerline of the piston a minimum of 15 degrees from the horizontal. For free-flowing bulk material installations, vibrators on hoppers should operate only when the hopper is open to flow.
Curved Surfaces
Otherwise, packing of material can result. NOTE: Never mount the vibrator directly to the skin of the bin. Always mount the vibrator on a mounting plate or channel iron.
To mount a vibrator to a curved surface, select a bracket made from a channel section or bent plate. Mounting bolt heads can be welded to the underside of the bracket.
Rectangular or Cylindrical Bins with Flat Bottom and Center Discharge.
Mount directly to the side of the bin, just below the point where the materials natural angle of repose intersects the side, as shown.
Parabolic Bins or Hoppers Rectangular Hoppers
Mount vibrator and mounting channel as for a conical hopper or a curved surface. If a stiffener obstructs mounting, mount the vibrator in the middle of the panel next to the stiffener. If required, a second vibrator should be mounted on the opposite face at a slightly higher elevation.
1/ 8L
Mount the vibrator within one foot of each discharge opening and in line with center of opening.
or le ss
Conical Hoppers
Mount the vibrator to the hopper (as for a curved surface) 12 to 18 inches (300 to 450 mm) or less from the discharge.
Hopper with Sloping Discharge
Inclined Chutes
Mount the vibrator on the center line of the hopper, as close to the discharge as possible. An additional vibrator may be required on the discharge chute.
Chutes less than 10 to 12 feet (3 to 3.6 m) long are usually / L equipped with just one vibrator / L L located well below the center. Allow for the vibrator to be moved 18 to 24 in about one foot (300 mm) in either (450 to 600 mm) direction. On chutes requiring more than one vibrator, the first one should be located 18 to 24 inches (450 to 500 mm) from the outlet. The second unit should be mounted about half-way between the first vibrator and the upper end. Allow for the vibrator to be moved about one foot (300 mm) in either direction.

Optimized Operation of Syntron Turbine and Piston Pneumatic Vibrators

1. Air Line to Vibrator In order to minimize pressure loss from the compressor, the inner diameter (ID) of the hose to the vibrator should be the same as or larger than the inlet ID (pipe size) of the vibrator. 2. Flow Valve A flow control valve can tune the vibrator to the required force. The flow volume determines the force and frequency of the vibrator. Throttling the flow enables you to find the desired material discharge rate and avoid the natural frequency of the bin or hopper. If the bin wall and vibrator shake violently, increase or decrease the speed to run with minimum movement. Do not exceed the maximum air pressures shown on pages 35, 36, 38 and 43. 3. Quick-Opening Valves Quick-opening valves can be used between the air regulator and vibrator to allow air to enter the vibrator at full starting force, even at low regulator valve settings. However, the air regulator must be installed at a sufficient distance from the quickopening valve so that the air pressure between the two valves will build up enough to yield the necessary starting force. 4. Water in the Line Water in the line should be avoided because it will remove the protective film of lubrication necessary to ensure proper operation. 5. Air Filter Use an air cleaner in the line to prolong vibrator life and keep it at maximum efficiency and lowest energy consumption. In turbine vibrators, unclean air will accelerate wear of the housing and clog the muffler. In piston vibrators, unclean air will considerably diminish vibrator life and clog clearance between the cylinder and piston. It will also increase wear on the piston, as well as increase air consumption and diminish vibrator efficiency. 6. Air Lubrication Lubrication is necessary ONLY for Piston Vibrators. Turbine vibrators have prelubricated bearings. Lubricated air may clog the muffler on turbine vibrators. 7. Operation Requirements Do not operate a piston vibrator prior to mounting it to a mounting plate or channel. 8. Using a Timer For better efficiency and longer vibrator life, operate the vibrator only as required to maintain flow. 9. Empty Bin Do not operate a vibrator on an empty bin. 10. Ambient Temperature Do not install pneumatic vibrators in environments where ambient temperatures exceed 180F.
