When it comes to handling and transporting materials like grain, ensuring an uninterrupted flow is crucial.
This is where innovation steps in — the Vacuum Mounted Vibrator, made by Cleveland Vibrator. Let’s delve deeper into its features, benefits and how it can revolutionize the material handling process.
Key Features & Benefits of the Vacuum Mounted Vibrator
- Lightweight Design: At just 22 pounds, this device is both lightweight and portable, making it a convenient addition to any setup.
- Efficient Air Usage: Consuming just over 10 CFM of air, it’s designed for optimal performance without being a drain on resources. Plus, it’s capable of being powered directly from your trailer or truck air.
- Versatile Mounting: The vibrator can be securely mounted to any smooth surface. This adaptability is particularly useful in environments where fixed installations aren’t feasible.
- Advanced Controls: With its built-in regulator, users can easily manage the PSI. Additionally, it features a slide valve for powering the vibrator and an easily accessible quick valve for toggling the device on and off.
- Pneumatic Power: Being air-powered, this vibrator is safe to operate even in potentially hazardous environments.
- Single-Stage Vacuum Generator: Uses only 1.55 SCFM, ensuring efficient operation.
- User-Friendly Controls: The hand-held controls, inclusive of an integrated pressure regulator, a vibrator on/off switch via slide valve, and vacuum control via a mini-ball valve, make operations straightforward and intuitive.
How the Vacuum Mounted Vibrator Works
The Vacuum Mounted Vibrator is designed with user convenience at its core. Beginning with its mounting capabilities, the vibrator is equipped with a quick valve, allowing for rapid activation or deactivation.
Once turned on, the device uses its vacuum mechanism to securely attach to a surface. Accompanying the vibrator is a 50-foot hose, pre-configured for direct connection to the glad hand on your truck, ensuring that the vibrator is always within arm’s reach and ready for action.
The vacuum operation is straightforward: users first attach the vacuum mount to the desired surface, and with the slide valve, activate the vibrator. This is further complemented by a built-in regulator, granting users precise control over the speed and force of the vibrations, adapting to various material flow needs.
Once the task is complete, shutting down the vibrator is simple. Given its lightweight structure, storing it or transitioning it to another spot is done with ease.
Applications of the Vacuum Mounted Vibrator
In the world of material handling and transportation, the Vacuum Mounted Vibrator shines in various applications:
Grain Handling
Grain trailers at elevators can often face challenges with certain bins that don’t allow for a seamless flow of grain. This device offers a solution, especially in situations where a permanent vibrator can’t be installed.
Bulk Bins & Hoppers
Traditional methods of handling material clogging, bridging and sticking often involve disruptive and sometimes destructive methods like hammering. With the Vacuum Mounted Vibrator, these challenges can be addressed more efficiently, safeguarding the equipment and ensuring continuous material flow.
Railcar Operations
Railcar unloading can be a hefty task, often requiring large and cumbersome equipment. This vibrator serves as a lightweight alternative, streamlining the unloading process without the need for more substantial vibratory equipment.
Who Will Benefit from the Vacuum Mounted Vibrator?
Safety managers can rest assured with a device that minimizes operational risks, even in hazardous settings.
Operations managers will appreciate its role in streamlining material flow, curbing potential delays. Additionally, for human resources and trainers, the device’s intuitive design facilitates easier training sessions, ensuring operators can swiftly harness its benefits.
On-the-ground employees gain from its user-friendly, lightweight and efficient design, empowering them to tackle material flow issues head-on. Furthermore, its alignment with safety standards assures organizations like OSHA and EHS of its commitment to maintaining a safe work environment.
