1. SAVE MONEY BY REDUCING PRODUCT LOSS, IMPROVING EFFICIENCY AND CONSISTENCY OF MATERIAL FLOW

Efficient and consistent material flow is the primary benefit of vibration in industrial material flow systems. Vibration breaks the friction between material and bin and hopper walls, aiding gravity and allowing material to flow. Improving the consistency and efficiency of your material flow will also save you money by reducing product loss caused by material left in hopper, missed batch levels, clogging or jams in line, overspill, and other material flow problems.

In feeder and conveyor systems, vibration is used to align material that can lock together and cause jams or clogs.

2. IMPROVED SAFETY

VIBCO Vibrators are virtually silent - eliminating the noise normally associated with industrial vibrators. Most of VIBCO's products operate at well-below OSHA noise standards, so they won't cause hearing damage or require the use of expensive hearing conservation programs. Additionally, because vibration eliminates bin and hopper clogs, they also eliminate the need to put employees at risk to clear these clogs. (i.e. swinging a sledge hammer, climbing up onto or into bins for clean out, etc.)

3. MORE EFFICIENT PACKAGING AND SHIPPING

Whether you bag or box material, vibration will help you to fit more material into a smaller container. Vibration compacts all types of material, so you can ship less air. It also will compact bagged material to produce a flatter, more uniform, and more easily shipped package.

4. MORE PRODUCTIVE USE OF RESOURCES - LABOR, EQUIPMENT & MAINTENANCE

Any time spent clearing clogs, cleaning overspill, using a sledgehammer on a bin, or correcting inaccurately weighed batches is wasted labor hours. Adding vibration to your industrial material flow systems would allow that time to be used on more productive, value-added tasks and process improvements. Additionally, many of the traditional and improvised methods to clear clogs - like using a sledgehammer - can lead to equipment fatigue and damage. Hammer rash, bin cracks and dents will ultimately make the sticking and clogging problems worse and will require maintenance. VIBCO Silent Turbine Vibrators offer the additional time-saving benefit of being virtually maintenance-free, because they are prelubricated for life.

5. VIBCO IS PREPARED TO BE YOUR LEAN MANUFACTURING PARTNER

Vibration helps to eliminate muda (waste) in most material flow systems by improving the accuracy, consistency, and reliability of material flow systems. VIBCO is an ideal supply chain partner for your lean manufacturing efforts because we understand the need to eliminate waste in every aspect of the operation and are happy to participate in Kaizen events, Kanban systems and other lean initiatives. We have the items you need in stock and ready to ship, same day.
