VSS VacMount vacuum-mounted vibrator

Using vibrators to move product usually involves some welding to the hopper to give the best results. Vibration Systems & Solutions has a method which eliminates welding by using vacuum to securely attach pneumatic vibrators to the hopper wall.

The VacMount is useful when suppliers send product to the end user in their own containers, on which no welding is allowed. This method is also useful for hoppers and products with infrequent ‘hang-up’ problems, which may be caused by product differences or temperature changes.

The vibrator is supplied mounted to an aluminium plate, on the other side of which are vacuum suction cups. The size and quantity of these cups varies with the strength of vacuum required for specific vibrators.

Vacuum generators are built into the plate, with the vacuum being generated from the same air supply as is used for the vibrator. Linear vibrators from 14 to 8000 N can be carried on various sized VacMounts.
