Material Handling Solutions

Syntron® Bin Vibrators

Syntron® Bin Vibrators offer an efficient, cost-effec-tive means to maintain free flow of product from bins,hoppers and chutes, with a direct and positive result onthe bottom line. Whether the need is to ensure con-stant, uninterrupted material flow, or to eliminate thenecessity for manual manipulation of a bin, hopper orbulk material, Syntron Bin Vibrators increase productiv-ity and reduce production costs.

Three types of Syntron Bin Vibrators—electromagnetic,rotary electric and pneumatic — provide product flowsolutions for just about any industry, application orenvironment. Compact yet mighty, Syntron Bin Vibratorsare designed for years of high-performance, trouble-freecontinuous or intermittent operation, with the broadestselection of models and power ranges available.

Syntron Electromagnetic Bin Vibrators are ideal for continuous or intermittent operation. An easilyadjustable control assures optimum and variable material flow. Dependable Syntron ElectromagneticBin Vibrators are virtually maintenance-free because theelectromagnetic design eliminates moving parts. Mostmodels come standard with fully-enclosed dust-tightand watertight construction.

Syntron Pneumatic Bin Vibrators can be installedwhere electricity is not readily available because theyuse compressed air. Two types of pneumatic bin vibra-tors, turbine and piston, are available. Designed to keepoperating noise at a minimum, Syntron PneumaticTurbine Bin Vibrators are ideal for locations wherenoise pollution is undesirable. Vibrator speed is adjust-ed by simply varying the air supply. Pneumatic turbinebin vibrators feature totally enclosed constructionwhich eliminates concern over environmental factorssuch as dust, dirt or moisture.

Syntron Electric Rotary Bin Vibrators are motor driv-en for reduced noise levels. These rugged bin vibratorsare totally enclosed for reliable operation in dusty, dirtyor moist environments. Adjustable eccentric weightsallow easy adjustment of force to suit varying applica-tions.

Syntron® Electromagnetic Bin Vibrator Models

Syntron® V-2 and V-4 Electromagnetic Bin Vibrators are two of thesmallest industrial vibrators available. These versatile vibrators can becontrolled electrically with a separate control. When these vibrators areoperated without a control, they can be mechanically controlled by turn-ing an easily accessible adjusting screw. Increased amplitude can beobtained by using rectified AC power. Flexibility and ease of installationare common to both models and the Model V-4 is available with a dust-tight case.

Models V-9 and V-20 are compact in size, but at 3600 vpm, they packenough vibratory “punch” to excel in a wide range of applications. Each isavailable with a separate dust-tight case.

Typical applications for the above models include installations onsmall bins, handling lightweight materials, or in counting, sorting or pack-aging operations.

Impact and Cushioned Vibrator Compact Models

Models V-50, V-85 and V-180 are “solid” impact vibrators. These unitsuse a metal striking block to produce positive impact.

Models V-41, V-51, V-86 and V-181 are “cushioned” impact vibrators,which utilize a rubber striking block to produce positive impact. Theirhigh power/low noise characteristics make them ideal for use in confinedareas with nearby workers. Physical dimensions and electrical specifica-tions are identical to the “solid” impact type vibrators. Dust-tight andwaterproof construction are standard for both versions.

Open Models

Models V-75 and V-500 feature a power-packed, solid impact, open-typedesign. They are used on difficult, heavy-duty applications. The V-500 is one of the largest magnetic vibrators available. Both the V-75 and V-500 are available with a separate dust-tight case.

Self-Contained Models

Models V-9 through V-500 require separate controls unless specificallyordered as self-contained units. Self-contained units include a built-in rec-tifier and they always operate at full force. Self-contained units are recom-mended only where no force adjustment is required. Models V-41 and V-500 are not available as self-contained units.

The primary consideration in binvibrator selection is the thickness ofthe bin or chute wall. Once the propervibrator model has been selectedfrom the Application TabulationTable, compare the capacity in thetapered portion of the bin with therated capacity shown in the table. Ifthe rated capacity is exceeded, multi-ple vibrators may be required,depending on the material beinghandled. Stiffeners used to reinforcethe bin or chute may also affect theselection or preferred location of thevibrator. Please contact FMCTechnologies for a copy of our datasheet and assistance with selection ofappropriate units in these applica-tions. Or, log onto our website atwww.fmcsyntron.com for a copy ofour data sheet.

Curved Surfaces

To mount a vibrator to acurved surface, select a bracketmade from a channel section or abent plate. A center gusset isrequired for all totally enclosedvibrators, and two blocks of suf-ficient height to contact the curved surface arerequired for Models V-75 and V-500. The selectedgusset or blocks must be securely welded to theunderside of the bracket and curved surface. Thisarrangement is required to stiffen the mountingand transmit vibrations directly to the hopper con-tents. Mounting bolt heads can be welded to theunderside of the bracket.

Conical Hoppers

Mount the vibrator to thehopper (as for a curved sur-face) 12 to 18 inches (300 to450 mm) or less from thedischarge.

Rectangular Hoppers

Mount vibrator andmounting channel asfor a conical hopper ora curved surface. If astiffener obstructsmounting, mount thevibrator in the middleof the panel next to thestiffener. If required, asecond vibrator shouldbe mounted on theopposite face at a slightly higher elevation.

Hopper with Sloping Discharge

Mount the vibrator onthe center line of the hopper,as close to the discharge aspossible. An additionalvibrator may be requiredon the discharge chute.

Rectangular or Cylindrical Bins with FlatBottom and Center Discharge.

Mount directly to the side of thebin, just below the point where thematerials’ natural angle of repose inter-sects the side, as shown.

Inclined Chutes

Chutes less than 10 to 12 feet(3 to 3.6 m) long are usuallyequipped with just one vibra-tor located well below the cen-ter. Allow for the vibrator to bemoved about one foot (300 mm)in either direction. On chutesrequiring more than one vibra-tor, the first one should be located 18 to 24 inches (450to 500 mm) from the outlet. The second unit should bemounted about half-way between the first vibrator andthe upper end. Allow for the vibrators to be movedabout one foot (300 mm) in either direction.

Mounting Syntron® Electromagnetic Bin VibratorsCorrect location of electromagnetic vibrators is of prime importance in obtaining maximum efficiency

from the selected model. Note: Operate vibrators on hoppers only when the hopper is open to flow.Otherwise, vibration may pack the hopper contents.

Place vibratoras close as possibleto feeder.

Belt Conveyor and Standard Bin

Mount vibrator on the belt discharge side of the hop-per. Follow mounting instructions for the appropriate bintype on page 12.

Vibrating Feeder and Standard Bin

Mount vibrator on the feederinfeed side of the hopper. Followmounting instructions for theappropriate bin type on page 12.

Concrete Hopper or Lined Wooden Hopper

For wooden hoppers lined with thin sheet metal,attach vibrator mounting bolts to the hopper lining.

For concrete hoppers, secure a steel plate across thetop inside of the hopper, to the discharge openingalong the side to which the vibrator will be mounted.At about one-quarter or less of the distance from thedischarge to the vertical side, cut an opening to allowthe vibrator to be bolted to the steel plate.

Syntron® Pneumatic Turbine Bin Vibrators

Syntron® Pneumatic Turbine Vibrators from FMCTechnologies offer a convenient, reliable alternative toother vibrators. Designed to keep noise pollution at aminimum, Syntron Turbine Vibrators aid in controllingthe flow of material in almost any application, fromscreening, sizing and separating both fine and coarsematerials, to aiding the flow of materials from supplyhoppers and chutes, to driving parts feeders.*

Unlike other vibrators, Syntron turbine vibrators usecompressed air to turn a turbine wheel, allowing air to bechanneled through the unit and then through a muffler.This makes turbine vibrators convenient in locationswhere electricity is not readily available. Speed is adjust-ed by simply varying the air supply. Additionally, thevibrator's sealed bearings are prelubricated for life, mak-ing them ideal for food and other applications where oilyexhaust air is unacceptable. And, their compact, totallyenclosed construction eliminates concern over environ-mental factors such as dust, dirt or moisture.

There are three types of Syntron Pneumatic TurbineBin Vibrators: TAM, TBM and TB.

A lifetime of quiet, reliable operationTurbine vibrators maintain 70-75 decibels

throughout their entire life, as compared to sharpincreases in noise levels of ball, roller, and pistontype vibrators. Turbine sound levels actually decreaseduring a short "break in" period and retain a constantlow sound level throughout their life.

Selecting the Proper Syntron® Pneumatic Turbine BinVibratorBins or Hoppers

In order to move material in a bin or hopper, the frictionbetween the material and the bin wall must be broken. Oncethe friction is broken, material cannot cling to the sides ofthe bin and it will flow out through the discharge. For 80 per-cent of all turbine bin vibrator applications, the vibrator forceneeded to accomplish this is simply calculated as follows:

■ Calculate the weight of the material in the transition or

sloping part of the bin. Normally, this is the only place

where the friction between the material and the bin side

has to be broken. Do not calculate the total weight, only

what is in the transition part of the bin.

■ For conical bins, calculate as follows: 0.261 x dia.2 x height x material density in lb/ft3 (kg/m3)

■ For rectangular bins, calculate as follows: Length x width x height x 1/3 x material density.

NOTE: For selecting the proper pneumatic piston vibrator model, seepage 25.

When the weight (lb) has been calculated, divide theweight by 10 to get the force or impact needed from thevibrator (lbf). If the weight is calculated in kg, divide theweight by 1.02 to get the force or impact needed from thevibrator (N). For example: The conical part of a 25-ton bincontains 7000 lb. Divide 7,000 by 10 to get the force (lbf) or impact needed from the vibrator. Find a suitable vibrator on pages 17, 18 and 20.

Additional considerations when sizing vibrators to bins:

■ If the bin side angle is less than 30 degrees, select alarger vibrator.

■ If the bin has a vertical section, select a larger vibrator.

■ If the bin wall is extra thick (see tables pages 17, 18 and20), select a larger vibrator.

■ On very sticky and hard to move materials, it is better touse two small vibrators instead of one large one (size thetwo smaller ones by dividing the required force in half).

Vibrating Tables for Packing MaterialsDense materials respond best to high-frequency vibra-

tion while light, fluffy or flaky materials respond best tolow-frequency vibration. For packing or settling materials,use a vibrator with an impact force of one-and-a-half to twotimes larger than the weight of the material plus container.Find a suitable vibrator on pages 18 and 20.

Vibrating ScreensFor self-cleaning screens, use a vibrator with a centrifu-

gal force (impact) four times the weight of the material plusthe weight of the screen.

NOTE: Coarse, lumpy, sticky or wet materials respond best to high-frequency vibration; powdery and dry materials respond best to low-frequency vibration.

Consolidating ConcreteFor three-inch "slump" concrete, use a vibrator with the

same force (impact) as the weight of concrete and form. Forone- to two-inch slump concrete, an additional 30 to 50 per-cent impact is needed. For dry mixes (zero slump), increasethe impact by 100 to 200 percent.

ChutesThe force required of the vibrator is equal to the weight

of the chute plus vibrator plus maximum material in thechute. See page 22 for more details.

Mounting Syntron® Pneumatic Turbine Bin VibratorsVibrator selection and installation is based upon

individual application requirements. For vibration dis-tribution, each pneumatic turbine vibrator should bemounted midway, on a length of channel, welded withits legs against the side of the bin. All vibrator modelscan be mounted with the shaft in any position, fromhorizontal to vertical. For maximum effectiveness,chutes requiring vibrators should be independentlyisolated. In addition, the vibrator should be mounted

midway on a channel located underneath the length ofthe chute.

Note: For free-flowing bulk material applications,vibrators on hoppers should operate only when thehopper is open to flow. Otherwise, packing of materialcan result.

Conical HoppersMount vibrator by channel-

iron stiffener 3 to 7 feet long(1-2 m) to hopper wall, one-fourth to one-third the distancefrom the discharge to the top.A second vibrator (if necessary)should be mounted diametri-cally opposite and approxi-mately halfway up the bin wall.

Rectangular Hoppers Mount as for conical hoppers

on the centerline of one side. Asecond vibrator may be requiredif complete cleaning of all cor-ners and sides is desired. Tomount, follow instructions forconical hoppers.

Rectangular Bins with HopperBottoms

Usually requires larger forcevibrators than conical or rectan-gular hoppers because of addi-tional head load. Locate vibratorone-fourth to one-third the dis-tance up sloping section of binwall, and follow mountinginstructions for conical hoppers.

Parabolic Bins or HoppersMount vibrator within one

foot of each discharge openingand in line with center ofopening.

Chutes

To move the material ina chute, the chute should beinclined to no less than halfthe "angle of repose" of thematerial (at least 10degrees). On chutes from 6 to 10 feet (1.8 - 3 m)long, two vibrators are needed; one should beplaced 18-24 inches (457 - 610 mm) from thedischarge and the other approximately in themiddle. Since chutes are very sensitive to vibra-tion, provision should be made to move lowervibrator six inches (152 mm) in either direction.This could mean the difference between mov-ing the material or not moving it.

Bins with Sloping Discharge

Mount the vibrator one-eighth to one-sixteenth the distance up bin wall that iscontiguous with the underside of chute.This lower mounting position puts vibra-tor close to bin discharge throat andassures vibration transference into chute.

Bin or Hopper with Vertical Side

Mount vibrator on wall with theleast slope. Follow mounting instruc-tions for rectangular bins with hopperbottoms.

Their cast iron, flat base construction pro-vides an efficient means of transmitting shockenergy developed by the reciprocating piston to the mounting surface.

Syntron Piston Vibrators are available in two models: High impact (PV) and ReducedNoise (PVS). PVS vibrators (impact against acushion of air) can be used where noise is objectionable.

Unlike turbine vibrators, piston vibratorsrequire lubrication with oil, SAE-10 or lighter.Lack of oil in the air rapidly wears down thepiston and cylinder wall.

Features and Benefits

■ Cast iron, flat base construction.

■ One-piece housing

■ Flange mounted

■ Ideal for use in mining, chemical, concrete,

plastics, steel, foundry and paper industries

■ Available in high impact (PV) or reduced noise

(PVS) models

■ High thrust reciprocating action of PVS models

permits operation at low air pressures

■ High impact, linear force and efficient energy

transfer assures flow of materials through bins,

chutes and weigh batchers

■ Linear vibration

■ Impacts in both directions


Piston Bin Vibrator SelectionIn order to move material in a bin or hopper, the friction

between the material and the bin wall must be broken. Oncethe friction is broken, material cannot cling to the sides ofthe bin and it will flow out through the discharge. A primeconsideration in selecting the correct piston bin vibrator iswall thickness. The following formulas calculate material inthe restricted area which is used as a guide to determine thenumber of piston bin vibrators necessary.

■ Calculate the weight of the material in the transition orsloping part of the bin. Normally, this is the only place wherethe friction between the material and the bin side has to bebroken. Do not calculate the total weight, only what is in thetransition part of the bin.

■ For conical bins, calculate as follows: 0.261 x dia.2 x height x material density in lb/ft3 (kg/m3)


ChutesThe force required of the vibrator is equal to the weight

of the chute plus vibrator plus maximum material in thechute. See page 26 for more detail.

Mounting Syntron® Pneumatic Piston Bin VibratorsTo obtain maximum efficiency from pneumatic pis-

ton vibrators, correct location is important. Mount thevibrator with the centerline of the piston a minimumof 15 degrees from the horizontal. For free-flowingbulk material installations, vibrators on hoppersshould operate only when the hopper is open to flow.

Otherwise, packing of material can result.

NOTE: Never mount the vibrator directly to theskin of the bin. Always mount the vibrator on amounting plate or channel iron.

Note: Drawings illustrate typical installations. Specific installations mayrequire slight variations. For other applications not covered here, please con-sult factory for recommendations.

Optimized Operation of Syntron® Turbine and PistonPneumatic Bin Vibrators

1. Air Line to Vibrator — In order to minimize pressure loss from the compressor, the innerdiameter (ID) of the hose to the vibrator should be the same as or larger than the inlet ID(pipe size) of the vibrator.

2. Flow Valve — A flow control valve can tune the vibrator to the required force. The flow vol-ume determines the force and frequency of the vibrator. Throttling the flow enables you tofind the desired material discharge rate and avoid the natural frequency of the bin or hopper.If the bin wall and vibrator shake violently, increase or decrease the speed to run with mini-mum movement. Do not exceed the maximum air pressures shown on pages 17, 18, 20 and 25.

3. Quick-Opening Valves — Quick-opening valves can be used between the air regulator andvibrator to allow air to enter the vibrator at full starting force, even at low regulator valve set-tings. However, the air regulator must be installed at a sufficient distance from the quick-opening valve so that the air pressure between the two valves will build up enough to yieldthe necessary starting force.

4. Water in the Line — Water in the line should be avoided because it will remove the protec-tive film of lubrication necessary to ensure proper operation.

5. Air Filter — Use an air cleaner in the line to prolong vibrator life and keep it at maximumefficiency and lowest energy consumption. In turbine vibrators, unclean air will acceleratewear of the housing and clog the muffler. In piston vibrators, unclean air will considerablydiminish vibrator life and clog clearance between the cylinder and piston. It will also increasewear on the piston, as well as increase air consumption and diminish vibrator efficiency.

6. Air Lubrication — Lubrication is necessary ONLY for Piston Vibrators. Turbine vibratorshave prelubricated bearings. Lubricated air may clog the muffler on turbine vibrators.

7. Operation Requirements — Do not operate a piston vibrator prior to mounting it to amounting plate or channel.

8. Using a Timer — For better efficiency and longer vibrator life, operate the vibrator only asrequired to maintain flow.

9. Empty Bin — Do not operate a vibrator on an empty bin.

10. Ambient Temperature — Do not install pneumatic vibrators in environments where ambi-ent temperatures exceed 180˚F.

Selecting the Proper Syntron®

Electric Rotary Bin Vibrator

Bins or HoppersIn order to move material in a bin or hopper, the

friction between the material and the bin wall mustbe broken. Once the friction is broken, the materialcannot cling to the sides of the bin and it will flowout through the discharge. For most applications, thevibrator force needed to accomplish this is simplycalculated as follows:

■ Calculate the weight of the material in the transition orsloping part of the bin. Normally, this is the only placewhere the friction between the material and the bin sidehas to be broken. Do not calculate the total weight, onlywhat is in the transition part of the bin.

■ For conical bins, calculate as follows: .261 x dia.2 x height x material density in lb/ft3 (kg/m3)


When the weight (lb) has been calculated, dividethe weight by 10 to get the force or impact neededfrom the vibrator (lbf). If the weight is calculated inkg, divide the weight by 1.02 to get the force orimpact needed from the vibrator (N). For example:The conical part of a 25-ton bin contains 7000 lbDivide 7,000 by 10 to get the force (lbf) or impactneeded from the vibrator. Find a suitable vibrator on pages 31, 32 or 34.

Additional considerations when sizing vibrators tobins:

■ If the bin side angle is less than 30 degrees, select alarger vibrator.

■ If the bin has a vertical section, select a larger vibrator.

■ If the bin wall is extra thick (see tables pages 31, 32 and 34) select a larger vibrator.

■ On very sticky and hard to move materials, it is better touse two small vibrators instead of one large one (size thetwo smaller ones by dividing the required force in half).

Vibrating Tables for Packing MaterialsDense materials respond best to high-frequency

vibration (3600 rpm or more), while light, fluffy orflaky materials respond best to low-frequencyvibration (1800 rpm or less).

For packing or settling materials, use a vibratorwith an impact force of one-and-a-half to two timeslarger than the weight of the material plus contain-er. Find a suitable vibrator in the tables on pages31, 32 and 34.

Vibrating ScreensFor self-cleaning screen, use a vibrator with a

centrifugal force (impact) four times the weight ofthe material plus the weight of the screen.

Note: Coarse, lumpy, sticky or wet materialsrespond best to high-frequency vibration; powderyand dry materials to low-frequency vibration.

Consolidating ConcreteFor three-inch “slump” concrete, use a vibrator

with the same force (impact) as the weight of con-crete and form. For one- to two-inch slump con-crete, an additional 30 to 50 percent impact is need-ed. For dry mixes (zero slump) increase the impactby 100 to 200 percent.

ChutesThe force required of the vibrator is equal to the

weight of the chute plus the vibrator plus the maxi-mum material in the chute. See page 35 for moreinformation.

RVAS Rotary Electric Bin Vibrator Specifications andDimensions



Mounting Syntron® Electric Rotary Bin Vibrators

Vibrator selection and installation is based uponindividual application requirements. For vibration distribution, each electric rotary bin vibrator should be mounted midway, on a length of channel, weldedwith its legs against the side of the bin. All electricrotary bin vibrator models can be mounted with theshaft in any position from horizontal to near vertical(except for models RV2-1700 and RV-9809; for thesemodels, consult FMC Technologies). For maximum

effectiveness, chutes requiring vibrators should beindependently isolated. In addition, the vibratorshould be mounted midway on a channel locatedunderneath the length of the chute.

Note: For free-flowing bulk material installations,vibrators on hoppers should operate only when thehopper is open to flow. Otherwise, packing of materialcan result.

Conical Hoppers

Mount vibrator by channel-ironstiffener 3 to 7 feet long (1-2 m)to hopper wall, one-fourth toone-third the distance from thedischarge to the top. A secondvibrator (if necessary) should bemounted diametrically oppositeand approximately halfway upthe bin wall.

Rectangular Hoppers

Mount as for conical hopperson the centerline of one side. Asecond vibrator may berequired if complete cleaningof all corners and sides isdesired. To mount, followinstructions for conical hop-pers.

Rectangular Bins with HopperBottoms

Usually requires larger forcevibrators than conical or rectan-gular hoppers because of addi-tional head load. Locate vibratorone-fourth to one-third the dis-tance up sloping section of binwall, and follow mountinginstructions for conical hoppers.


Mount vibrator within one footof each discharge opening andin line with center of opening.

Chutes

To move the material in achute, the chute should beinclined to no less than halfthe "angle of repose" of thematerial (at least 10degrees). On chutes from sixto 10 feet (1.8 - 3 m) long,two vibrators are needed; one should be placed 18 - 24inches (457 - 610 mm) from the discharge and the otherapproximately in the middle. Since chutes are very sensi-tive to vibration, a provision should be made to move thelower vibrator six inches (152 mm) in either direction.This could mean the difference between moving thematerial or not moving it.

Bins with Sloping Discharge

Mount the vibrator one-sixteenth to one-eighth the distance up bin wall that iscontiguous with the underside of chute.This lower mounting position puts vibra-tor close to bin discharge throat andassures vibration transference into chute.

Bin or Hopper with Vertical Side

Mount vibrator on wall with theleast slope. Follow mounting instruc-tions for rectangular bins with hopperbottoms.

Short Screw Feeder

Place vibrator as closeas possible to feeder.

Concrete or Wooden Bin

If a wooden hopper is lined with thin sheet metal, attachthe vibrator mounting bolts to the lining.

For concrete hoppers,secure a steel plate acrossthe top inside of the hop-per, from the dischargeopening along the side towhich the vibrator will bemounted. At 1/3 or less ofthe distance from the dis-charge to the vertical side,cut an opening to allow forthe vibrator to be bolted tothe steel plate.
