FEATURES
• The body is made of high strength aluminum alloy.
• Small in size and light-weight.
• Can be used in high humidity or dusty working areas.
• Frequency and amplitude of vibration can be adjusted as needed.
Series BPV Pneumatic Ball Vibrators are the best choice for bridge-
break in thin walls and small tanks. This model can be used in vibrating
separators, vibrating conveyors, and against electroplating build-up. It
can also be used on material compacted while packing or sand
compacted while molding.
HOW IT OPERATES
The aluminum body is equipped with a steel ring and ball inside that is
tightly closed by plastic side covers. Vibration is caused when the
internal ball, pushed by compressed air, runs in a rotary motion to
produce centrifugal force.
