Used Pneumatic Vibrators

How Does Pneumatic Vibrators Operate?

Pneumatic vibrators operate by using compressed air supplied by an air compressor. This air flows through a control valve that adjusts its pressure and volume and goes into the vibrator. There are typically two main types of mechanisms inside the vibrator that are used to create vibrations: a piston vibrator uses compressed air to move a piston back and forth in a cylinder, with internal springs or air chambers to regulate the airs movement. This action generates vibrational energy. On the other hand, a turbine vibrator uses compressed air to spin a turbine or gears at high speeds, producing smoother and more uniform vibrations.

The vibrational energy from these mechanisms is transferred to the vibrators casing and then to the attached structure, such as a bin or conveyor, for material movement or to prevent clogging. After powering the movement, the used air exits the vibrator through an exhaust port, essential for controlling noise and maintaining efficiency.

Operators can adjust the frequency and amplitude of the vibrations by altering the airflow and pressure, which makes pneumatic vibrators customized for specific tasks and materials. These devices are commonly incorporated directly into the equipment, which needs vibrational assistance to ensure that the vibrations are effectively transmitted and that the setup remains stable and secure during operation.

Types of Pneumatic Vibrators Offered by JM Industrial

Pneumatic vibrators are categorized according to their internal mechanisms and certain methods of generating vibrations. Each type has unique characteristics that make it suitable for different industrial applications. Lets take a look at some main types of used pneumatic vibrators for sale:

1. Piston Vibrators: These vibrators use pistons that move back and forth inside a cylinder. The motion is driven by compressed air that rotates between pushing the piston on either side. Piston vibrators produce high-impact vibrations, making them ideal for dislodging stuck or compacting materials in molds and forms.
2. Turbine Vibrators: Turbine vibrators are used to generate vibrations through a high-speed turbine wheel that spins due to compressed air. These vibrators generally produce smoother and continuous vibrations than other vibrators. They are suitable for applications requiring gentle but continuous vibration, like feeding small parts or sorting processes. Our collection features used VIBCO pneumatic vibrators with different specifications. 
3. Roller Vibrators: These vibrators have a free roller that rotates around a shaft inside a cylindrical housing. Compressed air is used to spin the roller, which generates vibrational force. Roller vibrators are particularly helpful in moving sticky materials and are often used in food processing or chemical industries.
4. Ball Vibrators: A pneumatic ball vibrator is a compact vibrator used to create a powerful centrifugal force vibration with high-speed steel ball rotation through compressed air. These vibrators do not have motors or bearings and are operated by air. The vibrator is connected directly to the compressed air supply. 
5. Impact Vibrators: These vibrators, also known as knockers, deliver forceful impacts against the walls of bins or hoppers to dislodge adhering materials. They use a piston to hit the vibrators base plate, mimicking the effect of hammering. They help clear blockages in heavy-duty material handling setups. 

Why Choose a Used Pneumatic Vibrator for Your Applications?

Lets look at some reasons why opting for a used pneumatic vibrator might be a beneficial decision:

1. Immediate Availability: Purchasing new equipment can sometimes involve long lead times due to manufacturing or shipping delays. Used equipment is often available immediately, allowing rapid integration into your processes without waiting.
2. Advantage of Depreciation: A new industrial equipment has higher rate of depreciation in the first year. However, purchasing used equipment can bypass much of this initial depreciation, which may offer better value for money over time.
3. Environmental Friendly: Opting to purchase used equipment helps reduce waste and avoid the environmental impacts of new manufacturing.
4. Pocket Friendly: Businesses can save significantly by purchasing used pneumatic vibrators instead of new ones, making them suitable options for minimizing capital expenditures. 
5. Best Second Investment: Today, manufacturers are competing for maximum uptimes and operational efficiency. Used and surplus pneumatic vibrators make a good second investment, which can serve as a backup and operated to avoid downtimes if the key vibrator breaks down.

Applications of Pneumatic Vibrators

Here are some key applications of used pneumatic vibrators:

1. Material Handling: Pneumatic vibrators promote material flow in bins and hoppers. They help prevent material bridging, adhesion, and ratholing, ensuring consistent flow in the food, pharmaceutical, and chemical industries.
2. Screening and Sorting: Pneumatic vibrators are used to enhance the efficiency of screens and sorting equipment in the mining and aggregate industries. They help separate materials based on size through a vibrating screen check. 
3. Cleaning: In applications where materials stick to the inside of chutes, bins, or other containers, pneumatic vibrators clean the surfaces by dislodging stuck-on residues, dust, and particles. In short, they help reduce maintenance needs.  
4. Feeding: In most cases, there is a vibrator in automated feeding systems that ensures a steady, controlled flow of small parts or components. This is important to ensure the proper positioning of parts. 
5. Conveying: Vibrators on conveyors reduce friction and help items move smoothly over short distances, which is useful for assembly lines or packaging.

How to Choose Pneumatic Vibrators for Your Application? 

There are various factors to consider when choosing the right pneumatic vibrator for your application. Lets have a look at a few important factors of consideration:

1. Type of vibrator: When you choose any pneumatic vibrator, always decide what type you need, such as a piston, ball, turbine, roller, or other type, based on the required force, frequency, and durability.
2. Application type: Always set your primary purpose of the vibrator, whether its for detaching, feeding, compacting, conveying, or sorting. This is because different applications require different types of vibrational forces.
3. Installation and Mounting: When installing the vibrator on your equipment, its important to mount it correctly and securely. This ensures that it operates efficiently and safely without causing unnecessary wear and tear. Make sure the installation process is simple and straightforward.
4. Maintenance and Durability:  Its important to choose a vibrator that is both durable and easy to maintain in order to minimize downtime and operational costs. So, always look for vibrators that are easy to maintain and have good durability.
5. Energy Efficiency and Operating Costs: Evaluate the energy usage and operational costs of the vibrator. Efficient use of compressed air and low maintenance can reduce operating costs.
6. Level of Noise: When working in a noise-sensitive environment, its important to consider the noise level of your vibrator. Turbine vibrators tend to be quieter than piston or ball vibrators.
