Metalfab Hindon-Invicta L Series - Manual (Page 3)

1.0 INTRODUCTION
The Invicta L Series Vibrators are Heavy Duty Industrial Rotary Electric Vibrators. Their
similarity in appearance to conventional industrial electric motors should not mislead the user into
servicing them as standard electric motors.
The stator frame castings, cylindrical roller bearings, bearing housings, rotors, stators and
fasteners are of special construction and tolerance fits. This is because the Invicta is a "Vibrating
Machine" and only original factory parts should be used. Furthermore, to achieve satisfactory
results, troubleshooting and repairs should be performed by trained personnel experienced with
Invicta Vibrators.
The Hindon facility in Charleston, SC, has personnel fully qualified and is stocked to
perform all required service, retrofit and rebuilding.
• Please read this manual carefully.
• Use only Original Equipment Manufacturer (O.E.M.) parts (including specified bearings).
• Use only personnel trained in the repair of Invicta Vibrators.
As a point of interest, the L Series model designation includes an indication of maximum centrifugal force
output. Actual force is 100 times the centrifugal force figure stated.

2.0 RECEIPT AND STORAGE
Each machine is thoroughly inspected and tested before leaving the factory, and every care
is taken to ensure safe transit to destination. Damage may, however, occur during shipment.
Therefore, the vibrator should be inspected upon receipt and the shaft rotated by hand. Any damage
should be reported immediately to the carrier. Vibrators not intended for immediate use should be
stored in a dry temperate atmosphere, free from vibration. Under these conditions, the machine may
be stored for approximately 18 months.
Extended Storage
For vibrators requiring storage beyond 18 months, please contact Hindon Corporation for
specific instructions.
