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 Vibrators
are the weights to be adjusted. The (2) INNER
weights on the INVICTA TENV Vibrators are the
weights to be adjusted.
To increase the force setting, loosen the clamping
bolt on the two (2) weights that will be adjusted.
(See note above).
Refer to the applicable vibrator operation and
maintenance instructions for force settings and
technical information.
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.
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.
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.

See Vibrator Instruction Manual and Motor Nameplate Data.
SECONDARY BAFFLE
The secondary baffle has been positioned by
Metalfab engineering for your application
requirements. Its position will allow for the
proper flow of product through the Bin Activator
outlet.
The position of the secondary baffle is
maintained by an Esna type lock nut. The
secondary baffle can be repositioned vertically
by using a deep socket type wrench to loosen
the lock nut, thereby, allowing the secondary
baffle to be turned, possibly by hand, on the
threaded section of the extended rod, to a higher
or lower position. Since the secondary baffle is
located near the outlet, it is easily accessible
from the outlet.
If flow problems occur, the secondary baffle
could be repositioned to help eliminate the
problem. Before making any adjustment, it is
advisable to check with Metalfab engineering for
advice as to what new position might be helpful.
MAINTENANCE INSTRUCTIONS
Vibrator Lubrication The vibrators are lubricated as supplied. The
lubrication is good for 2,000 to 5,000 hours. See
vibrator instructions.
