be retightened every three months or more frequently, depending on the amount
of usage.
2. Because the Bin Activator, including the motor, vibrate, the electrical connections
must be made with flexible lead. Braided Neoprene covered cable is
recommended.
WHEN INQUIRING ABOUT ANY POSIBIN, ALWAYS REFER TO THE SERIAL
NUMBER STAMPED ON THE METALFAB NAMEPLATE.
Operation
VIBRATOR FORCE ADJUSTMENT: WARNING! Before any adjustments,
vibrator should be electrically ÅeLOCKED 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 end covers exposing the four (4) eccentric weights.
Note: The (2) OUTER weights on the INVICTA Explosion Proof and the
METALFAB TENV vibrators are the weights to be adjusted. The
two (2) INNER weights on the INVICTA TENV vibrators are the
weights to be adjusted.
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 instruction 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.
