MOUNTING OPTIONS IN AUSTRALIA

Permanent Mounting


When it comes to installing a permanent vibrator system, it’s important to mount it correctly. This helps to prevent any unnecessary issues in the future, allowing your product to keep flowing as it should. Thankfully, most vibrators are perfectly easy to mount. In most cases, depending upon the product, this can usually be done from outside the chute. The simplest method is to use a channel around 500mm long, stitch welded to the hopper wall with no welding at the ends. Positioning of the channel should be such that the vibrator can be mounted about a third the way up from the hopper outlet, so that there is transmission of the majority of the vibration down to the outlet, with some upward into the body of the material. The channel should have a plate attached to carry the vibrator. Full installation and mounting details are sent with each vibrator, but, feel free to call our team on 08 9209 1163 if you have any questions.

Semi-permanent Mounting


At VSS, we’re committed to keeping your product moving. Sometimes a permanent mounting is not necessary, for instance if the hopper is hired, or flow is only a problem under certain circumstances. VSS can offer solutions to this problem with various semi-permanent mounting methods. 

Vacuum Mounting


Suction cups are attached to plates carrying the vibrator. The plates have integral vacuum generators, and only one airline supply is required to operate both the vacuum and the vibrators. The plates are of varying sizes to carry the different vibrator models.

Wedge Mounting.


A vee shaped block is inserted into a vee shaped socket to allow the easy movement of vibrators from one position to another. The socket is welded to a channel in the usual manner with the vibrator mounted to a carry plate bolted to the male wedge.

QR Mounting


Originally designed for a specific vibrator model, primarily used for concrete formwork, this method can now be used for a variety of vibrators with a special adaptor. A tongue fits under a lip, with a hinged bolt to keep the vibrator firmly in place. The QR clamp is welded to a channel as above.
