NOTE: TAM and TBM models should be installed with a muffler to eliminate exhaust hiss and to
prevent foreign matter from entering the vibrator.
All models can operate in any position, and are totally enclosed for use outdoors and/or in water splash
locations. They are not adversely affected by dusty, dirty or wet locations, and they can run
continuously or intermittently.
All units have adjustable force; adjusting the air pressure adjusts speed as well as force. Refer to the
specification charts on pages 14, 16, and 18.
Syntron Pneumatic Turbine Vibrators have only one moving part, which is prelubricated for life and
never needs oil, even for continuous duty. Therefore, many years of trouble-free service can be
expected when a suitable pneumatic turbine vibrator is selected, properly installed, and maintained.

SELECTING THE PROPER BIN HOPPER
BINS OR HOPPERS
In order to move material in a bin or hopper, friction between the material and the bin wall must be
broken. Once the friction is broken, material cannot cling to the bin walls, and it will flow through the
discharge. For most applications, the vibrator force needed to achieve this is calculated as follows:
First, calculate the weight (in pounds) of the material in the sloping part of the bin only. Normally, this is
the only place where friction between the material and the bin wall must be broken.
•
For conical bins, calculate as follows:
.261 x Dia.
2
x Height x Material Density in Ib/ft
3
(kg/m
3
)
•
For rectangular bins, calculate as follows:
Length x Width x Height x 1/3
x Material Density in lb/ft (kg/m
3
)
After the weight (lb) has been calculated, divide the weight by 10 to get the force (lbf) needed from the
vibrator. For example, if the conical part of a 25-ton bin contains 7000 pounds of material, divide 7,000
by 10 to get the force needed from the vibrator.
NOTE:
If the weight has been calculated in kilograms,
divide the weight by 1.02 to get the force needed from the vibrator (N). For example, if the conical part
of a 25-ton bin contains 3175 kg, divide 3175 by 1.02 to get the force needed from the vibrator (N).
There are several additional things to consider when sizing vibrators to bins:
•
If the bin side angle is below 30 degrees, select the next larger vibrator (see pages 14, 16,
and 18)
.
•
If the bin has a vertical section, select the next larger vibrator (see pages 14, 16, and 18).
•
If bin thickness is extra heavy, select the next larger vibrator (see pages 14, 16, and 18).
•
For sticky and hard-to-move materials, use two small vibrators instead of one large one (find
the required force for the two smaller vibrators by dividing the required force in half).
