Vibrating plate
When using the vibrating plate, the constant powder transport is
guaranteed. The vibrating plate is hung on the hang-up plate by means of
two spring hooks and is then laid loosely onto the Big Bag. The vibrating
operation is started automatically every time the suction is switched on.
However, the vibration can be manually switched on and off using an
additional switch, and a light indicates the condition.
