Cleveland Vibrator Tends to Our Ole’ Faithfuls

By Katy Sabo

The Cleveland Vibrator Company takes great pride in our Cleveland Quality products made with the highest finesse and expertise. Each Vibrator is individually crafted to fit every customer’s needs across a plethora of industries which gives us the ultimate diversity of our product line as well. The quality of our different vibrators, i.e. Air Piston Vibrators, Electromagnetic, Turbines, & Rotary Electrics, are superior to your run-of-the-mill vibrators due in large part to gaining such a in-depth understanding of the the many industries we serve through years of experience. Let’s be real, a company who has been in business since 1923 is bound to be more remarkable in quality than most, otherwise why would we still be in business?  Once our products leave our shop, they are put to the test in the field – they are subjected to the tough manufacturing life where they operate day-in and day-out at high capacities, but with this something amazing happens to prove that Cleveland Vibrators are the best…

The vibrators run until they are physically incapable of doing the service. That’s ok though! Cleveland Vibrator loves to bring our vibrators back home to tend to and repair so they can get back to it and continue to provide great service to our highly valued customers. It’s part of our guarantee!

Need an example? Take a look at the photos provided on this page! You are viewing a 12 year old, 1500 VMSAC Vibrator brought back home to Cleveland Vibrator to be repaired. Yes, it is not our renowned green color, that’s because this individual customer requested a Blue Coated Finish to be applied in order to match the plant’s cosmetic look. In case you didn’t know, we do this all the time since we value our customers and do our best to satisfy all their needs. But here’s a fun fact that you may not know, this bores coating actually adds value to the vibrator as it protects the piston from scoring inside the body of the vibrator since they are installed usually at a 30-45 degree angle on bins/hoppers. WE ARE THE ONLY COMPANY WHO DOES THIS SERVICE WITHOUT ADDING COSTS!

In the words of one of the best guys in the business, “It’s value added at no additional costs.” – Glen Roberts, V.P. of Cleveland Vibrator Co.

Anyways, this 1500 VMSAC was returned and after inspection, we found a large amount of grease in the body bore which was applied by the customer.  Our inspection crew also found that the tolerance between the piston and bore was worn beyond acceptable tolerance and would need to be repaired. Our solution: Oversize the bore body, re-coat with Super Blue, and supply other hardware necessary to let it run smoothly again. These repairs saved our customer a great deal of money since the repair was nearly half the cost of purchasing a new unit.

Once our vibrators are back to 100%, they are shipped out to continue to provide quality service to the plant it calls home.

We also repair vibrators from all walks of life – regardless if whether or not they were originally purchased from Cleveland Vibrator. If there is an industrial vibrator problem, we most certainly accept the challenge of finding a solution to keep you moving.
