NOTE:
1. Longer channel iron will not affect vibrator performance, but
total channel length should not exceed length of bin wall.
2. Percentages shown indicate % of bin wall height your channel iron
should be for shorter bins.
3. To match your vibrator on chart above, model number suffixes
generally
correspond to pounds of force generated. See chart (box 3).
MOUNTING PLATES, CHANNEL IRON & ACCESSORIES AVAILABLE FROM VIBCO OR LOCAL DEALER
For coarse materials:
mount
vibrator 1/3 of the distance
from the discharge opening to
the top of the sloped portion of
the bin.
For fine materials:
mount
vibrator 1/4 of the distance
from the discharge to the top of
the sloped portion of the bin.
FOR ALTERNATE MOUNTS
:
refer to full detail instruction manual online
at www.vibco.com or call 800-633-0032
A MOUNTING PLATE MUST BE USED
to ensure proper stability for the vibrator.
Always start & stop welds 1 in. from ends to
prevent heat
concentration.
Then weld 2 to
3 inches, skip
1 to 2 inches
and repeat
until the plate
is securely
mounted.
NO!
YES!
MOUNTING PLATE MUST BE MOUNTED
PARALLEL TO CHANNEL IRON, NOT
PERPENDICULAR. OTHERWISE, IT WILL CAUSE
FLEXING & DAMAGE THE UNIT OR EQUIPMENT
IT IS MOUNTED TO.
