Which Industrial Vibrator Works Best for Cold Temperature Applications?

By CVC Team

Previously, I wrote a blog about industrial vibrator options for hot temperature applications like transfer chutes in forging facilities or installations on cope & drags in a foundry. But what about those applications on the other end of the temperature spectrum?  

Let’s talk about those cold environment applications like outdoor installs on a silo, chute, or load-out spout in geographic locations that face frigid temps, hopper bottom trailers delivering goods when thereโ€™s snow on the ground, or within facilities that do not have climate control.  

When frigid temps are a factor, we lean towards supplying an electric vibrator option for material flow issues. Electric industrial vibrators do not require compressed airlines to operate, which is the biggest drawback when using pneumatic vibrators for these application environments. 

Between RE Rotary Electric Vibrators, CM Electromagnetic Vibrators, and DC Vibrators, plenty of voltage options, force outputs, and frequencies are available.

Is Improper Densification on Your Bulk Bag or Box Filler Costing You Money?

By Craig Macklin

When considering a Bulk Bag Filler or new Bag or Box Filling system, you will inevitably be presented with the option for densification.  Most typically, densification options from the filler or system manufacturers utilize industrial vibration under the container being filled to settle, compact, or densify the material.  As discussed in one of my previous blogs, the act of vibrating material to fit more in the container can be an excellent investment to reduce container and shipping costs and make bulk bags more stable and resilient to tipping during storage or transport.

Having Material Flow Problems? โ€ฏYour Liner Could Be to Blame.

By Steve Chinn

Material flow problems are time-consuming, messy, expensive, and can even contribute to workplace hazards. The tricky part? Many problems can slow down your production processes, such as applying the wrong vibration force and frequency for the application, issues with the installation of the vibratory flow aid, and even the size and style of the liner applied to the inside of your bin, hopper, chute, or pipe. 

That was the case with a customer who wanted to apply vibration to theirย ยผโ€ thick wallย chutesย for sand processing. Previously, they manually cleaned their chutes with a garden hoe leading to unnecessary employee injuries, equipment damage, and production downtime. Knowing they have liners installed, we asked three important questions:ย

Which Industrial Vibrator Works Best for Your Extreme Temp Conditions?

By Cleveland Vibrator Team

Casting facilities pour molten metals into molds that require vibration to enable material flow and release air from the molten metal during the cooling process. Hot Forging Facilities feed metal ranging from 800 degrees Fahrenheit to 2200 degrees Fahrenheit, depending on the material they’re producing which may require vibration for their transfer chutes. These are just a few examples of material flow locations that vibration can be used within these facilities.

What is the one thing these applications have in common? Heat.

Does Industrial Vibrator Jargon Get You Down? The Vibration Experts Got You Covered!

By Mike Stratis

When it comes to terminology and lingo within the vibration industry, many times there are multiple names for the same piece of equipment. We will review what those are and explain what they mean.

Bin or hopper vibrators have many subcategories of vibrator types, just within this single product line itself. Letโ€™s break it down.

Frequently Asked Questions About Rotary Electric Vibration

By Steve Chinn

In 1923, The Cleveland Vibrator Company began its journey in the exciting world of industrial vibration, specifically the use of pneumatic powered options for foundry applications. As we ventured into other industries, we noticed a new trend: the demand for electric-powered motors.

Soon after, we decided it was time to explore this exciting new opportunity and set out to find a partner specializing in electric-powered vibration. We eventually partnered with an outside company to supply this demand from our customer base. As with any new venture, we experienced a few hiccups along the way; lead times were too long, insufficient force options available, and the lack of “Cleveland Vibrator Quality” our customers came to expect.

How You Can Improve the Performance of Your Vibratory Screener?

By Jack Steinbuch

We can all agree that the improvement of the performance of any production equipment is a good idea.ย  That being said, we first need to establish the definition of the performance of a screener.ย  I will go with any means to improve the screening efficiency to gain as much of the desired product with the least amount of contamination.ย  We will make the assumption that the correct screener has been selected for the application, so now we will look for ways to improve its performance.
