Industrial Vibrator Beat

Cleveland Vibrator Tends to Our Ole’ Faithfuls

By CVC Team

Feb 17

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… Read More…

Clean Your Pipes! CVC & Pipe Bracket Assemblies Solutions

By CVC Team

Jan 20

One of our lesser known products known to be made by The Cleveland Vibrator Company is our Pipe Bracket Assemblies. As you drive down our highway systems you will see many manufacturing companies with any number of pipes in several different sizes transporting many types of materials such as sand, coal, many types of powders, dust collectors etc. Our pipe bracket assemblies are designed to assist in the flow of materials through those pipes. The design allows for the assembly to be moved up and down the pipe depending on the location of a material flow problem. We currently manufacture pipe bracket assemblies Read More…

Hopper Vibration – Bend, But Don’t Break!

By Jack Steinbuch

Jan 06

“Bend, but don’t break” is an old football saying that refers to a defense that “allows” the opposing team to move the ball down the field on offense, but ultimately prevents them from scoring touchdowns. While it’s not a perfect analogy, you could apply this statement to recommending externally mounted vibrators to aid in the flow of material down hoppers, bins, and chutes without damaging the mounting surface.

Our challenge is to recommend a vibrator that will flex (bend) the wall or surface where it’s mounted to aid in the flow of material but not break it. Some people do not use certain external vibrators as they’ve had the bad experience of cracking the mounting surface. It’s easy to blame that style of vibrator, or vibrators in general, and look for some other method to get their material to flow. Here, I will explain how vibrators should be utilized without damaging the mounting surface.

Vibration & Grain Safety Training

By CVC Team

Jan 06

I recently finished a two-day safe grain handling course at the Asmark Institute in Bloomington, Illinois. This is part of our continuing efforts to learn more about grain, feed mill, and silo safety in our on-going efforts to assist in these areas. Cleveland Vibrator has manufactured and supplied vibrators to these industries for several decades but has never, until now, involved itself in the safety part of this industry beyond supplying vibrators as flow aides.

Preventing Carpal Tunnel with Single Impact Air Knockers

By CVC Team

Nov 25

We were recently asked by one of our foundry customers to quote our 1200 SI Air Knockers to replace hammers used by his employees to beat on the side of casting forms in order to free the casting from the mold. Because of the current process, they currently have two employees on workman’s compensation with carpal tunnel problems related to using hammers to loosen the castings. With the SI series developed to replace such manual processes, we can mount the vibrator on the mold and control the number of hits per minute plus control the force of the impact that the piston strikes the mold with our timer and five port spool valve set up. This simple solution can not only save the health of the employees, but also thousands of dollars in lost time and claims. If you have a manual process requiring employees to use hammers to dislodge material from molds, bins, hoppers or chutes, contact us to see if we can help.

Magical Powers of Piston Vibrator Design?

By CVC Team

May 21

The VMR model is one of those unique mergers of old and new technologies. The current concept was developed by combining our older MI units from the 1950s and 60s, the first generation Vibra-Might design from the 70s and 80s and our design features of the 90s. The VMR unit features a totally enclosed one-piece body design that operates without the dependency of a starter spring and will start in all mounting arrangements. This is coupled with our revolutionary Read More…

Why Place Tapped Exhaust Ports on Pneumatic Industrial Vibrators?

By CVC Team

Apr 24

Back in the 1960s, Cleveland Vibrator Company (CVC) started to move away from the acceptable industry standard of the time and started to manufacture vibrators with tapped exhaust ports. Today a large part of our vibrators, including 100% of our Vibra-Might family group, have threaded exhaust ports. The primary reason for the threaded exhaust ports is to install our port protector/muffler in the port. The port protector has two primary functions. Read More…
