Introduction
In automated factories, various piping systems, conveyors, weighing arrangements, life testing equipment, and dust collectors are utilized. Material characteristics (moisture, specific gravity, size, etc.) and equipment design (shape, layout, etc.) often lead to medium accumulation in pipes and tanks. The application of pneumatic vibrators can effectively address these issues. Pneumatic vibrators can shake off clogged or attached material and minimize friction during the automatic production process.
Working Principle
Vibration is generated by the high centrifugal force of a rapidly rotating steel roller that operates on a steel ring at extremely high frequencies.
Advantages of Vibrators
- Simple Structure: Pneumatic vibrators are made from reinforced aluminum alloy, featuring a simple structure, compact size, and strong vibration force.
- Instant Activation/Deactivation: They can quickly respond to activation and deactivation, minimizing damage to equipment.
- Spark-Free Operation: Driven by compressed air, they are suitable for use in hazardous, humid, or other severe environments.
- Adjustable Force, Frequency, and Amplitude: Parameters can be adjusted based on specific requirements.

Installation Considerations
- Fixing Method: Use high tension bolts, washers, and spring washers to secure the vibrator; a safety cable is recommended if installed on a hopper.
- U-Shaped Steel Support: Improves vibration force transmission efficiency, helping material flow smoothly.
- Prevent Irregular Movement: Suggested welded U-shaped steel to avoid potential damage.
Troubleshooting
| Issue | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Vibrator not running | No air supply or low air pressure | Check pressure gauge and air compressor; ensure pressure exceeds 5 kg/cm. |
| Insufficient vibration force | Pipe cross-section too small or too many branches | Enlarge main pipe cross-section to equal or exceed total branch sizes. |
| Excessive noise | Loose screws or poor welding of U-shaped steel | Tighten screws or re-weld U-shaped steel. |
Conclusion
Selecting the appropriate pneumatic vibrator not only resolves material blockage issues but also prevents damage to equipment. With correct installation and usage methods, production efficiency can be enhanced while extending the lifespan of the equipment.
