Vibrator Force Adjustment
WARNING! Before any adjustments, vibrator should be electrically
ÅgLOCKED OUTÅh.
1. The centrifugal force setting of the vibrator is set at the factory for the
minimum force level that will produce flow of product. If flow is not
instantaneous or continuous, it may be necessary to increase the centrifugal
force. To do so, the following procedure should be followed:
1) Remove the bolts of both the upper and lower end covers.
2) Remove the covers exposing the four (4) eccentric weights.
2. To increase the force setting, loosen the clamping bolt on the two (2) weights
that will be adjusted. (See note above).
3. Refer to the applicable vibrator operation and maintenance instructions for
force settings and technical information.
4. As the centerline of the adjusted weights approach the centerline of the fixed
weights, the centrifugal force is increased. When the weights centerline are
opposed, the centrifugal force decreases. If the centerline of all four (4)
weights are completely aligned, you will develop the maximum force available
for that size vibrator.
5. Regardless of which vibrator you have, when you have completed your force
adjustment, the OUTER weights should be in line with each other and the
INNER weights should be in line with each other. ANY OTHER
ARRANGEMENT WILL RESULT IN A MOTION THAT CAN DAMAGE THE
VIBRATOR AND BE VERY DETRIMENTAL TO THE APPLICATION, WELDS OF
THE BIN ACTIVATOR AND SUPPORT STRUCTURES.
6. Assemble the unit by reversing the procedure outline as above.
Note: Bin Activator vibrator should be electrically interlocked
with down stream feed devices, i.e., when screw, belt,
rotary, etc., feeder stops _ vibrator should also stop.
