Mounting of vibration devices without welds or screws
Flexible mounting of vibration devices: vacuum instead of welding
In bulk material handling, vibrators support the material flow by loosening caking, preventing bridging and preventing product jams. Vacuum holders are suitable for flexibly attaching vibrators exactly where they are needed.
In the field of vibration technology, technicians, engineers and maintenance engineers in production plants, plant and mechanical engineering are faced with the question of where and, above all, how a vibrator or impactor can be attached to the respective structure in the most effective and favourable way. A fixed connection in the form of a screw connection on a profile or a weld-on plate has the disadvantage that it is no longer possible to simply move it if necessary. This is because the entire bracket, including the screw connection, would always have to be moved. If the vibrator is mounted with a weld-on profile, any subsequent conversion will be relatively time-consuming and costly. Any welding also impairs the surface quality of the containers and poses a risk, particularly in ATEX zones.
Fastening without welding and screws
The VAC series vacuum mounts from NetterVibration are used for the uncomplicated, quick attachment of vibrators of various types and sizes to smooth, usually also rough and curved surfaces. The brackets are used where there are no conventional mounting options for vibrators, or where these are unsuitable or uneconomical. This solution is also ideal when frequent repositioning is required, such as when bridging bulk materials in hopper and silo outlets at different points. Furthermore, legal or operational regulations require the use of vacuum holders in potentially explosive areas (Atex zones) where welding and screwing are not permitted. The exclusivity and effectiveness of the VAC are reflected in the simple fastening without welding or screw connections. Wish and reality are combined here in the temporary attachment of vibrators to structures without affecting their material and contents. The flexible use of vibrators therefore enables favourable, temporary use of vibrators on systems, containers and silos in several production areas where production processes require it. In addition to flexible use on stationary silos and containers as a replacement for the tried-and-tested hammer blow for collapsing bulk material bridges, this vibration tool is also particularly suitable for transport and exchangeable containers made of metal and plastic to promote their problem-free emptying.
