knock-out grids.
These machines use vibrations to screen,
convey, remove, compact and sort or grade.
Any other use is deemed to be not as inten-
ded or misuse.
Electric vibrators are designed to generate
forces that can be destructive.
The vibrating machine must be designed for
the forces generated by the electric vibrators.
The operator shall bear responsibility for the
operation of vibration motors in explosion
hazardous areas.
