Recently, Cleveland Vibrator Co. has been working on developing a series of Vacuum Mount Systems for our vibrators.  Typically, these are used for helping flow or clean out on portable hoppers, bins, IBCs, hopper bottom and belly dump trailers, or railcars.  However, our newest release, the Mini Turbine Vacuum Mount series, has a variety of other fun applications that we can demonstrate in our very own plant here.

The first application to look at here is the Vacuum Mount CVT-P-20 being used in our coil making process.  Our line of CM Electromagnetic Vibrators uses encapsulated coils that we make in house.  In that process, we use vibration in order to settle epoxy around the coil in a mold, removing air bubbles and eliminating voids.  Typically, we have used our VJ Vibratory Jogger tables in order to do this.  However, in the video linked here, you can see how the Vacuum Mount CVT-P-20 can be used as well.  While there are some functional differences in this approach (using air power vs electric, and having vibration affixed to the mold rather than jostling or jogging the mold), the results were not dissimilar.  Either approach is very good in making sure our epoxy sets consistently in our mold to totally encapsulate the coil.
