"SILENT" Pneumatic Turbine BEST BY TEST Read Our Guarantee. FREE TRIAL!!! DBA - NOISE - LIFE CURVE Turbine vibrators maintain 70-75 db's throughout their entire life, as compared to sharp increases in noise levels of ball roller and piston type vibrators. Turbine sound levels actually reduce after a short "break-in" period and retain a constant low sound level throughout their life. Although ball and roller vibrators start at under OSHA limits, they very quickly and steadily increase noise levels to well above OSHA, to beyoun bearable range. (see curve). This is caused by the ball or roller jumping and accelerating each time it passes the air inlet, causing pitting and continuing wear to the ball and races. A silent turbine vibrator outlasts a ball vibrator 3 to 1. BALL vs. TURBINE VIBRATOR WHY REPLACE A BALL VIBRATOR WITH A TURBINE? NOISE - Average turbine as low as 72 db. ENERGY CONSUMPTION - The turbine uses less air, and while air consumption steadily increases on the ball, it decreases on the turbine as the bearings are "broken-in". LIFE - The effective life of the turbine by far exceeds the life of a ball, see above dba - noise - life curve. EFFICIENCY - The Turbine maintains its speed during its complete life. The ball unit starts to lose its speed and efficiency from the very start due to pitting of ball and ballrace. -see above dba - noise - life curve. NO LUBRICATION - Turbine bearings are sealed and prelubricated for life. WHERE TO USE Because of their foolproof operation and their lessening of noise in production areas, the Quiet Air Turbine Vibrators have quickly become the specified and standard units for many industries and in many leading plants. Examples are: parts feeding in tracks and trays in the automotive industry; on batchers, supply hoppers and chutes of chemical and plastics production and packaging lines; on foundry match-plates; shake-outs and sand hoppers. Other typical uses include: screening, separating and sizing of both fine and coarse powdered materials; settling, compacting and leveling in packaging; orientation and feeding of parts. Also, unjamming caps, cans and jars; aiding and controlling flow of material through hoppers, screens and chutes. Size and mount the same as for ball units. A: SILENT TURBINE VIBRATORS SAVE AIR BY USING 50% LESS AIR THAN COMPETITIVE PNEUMATIC BALL VIBRATORS. AIR CONSUMPTION A ball vibrator draws up to over 50% more air than a turbine vibrator. The ball in a ball vibrator takes up only 1/20 of the available space in the ball vibrator housing. The majority of the air pushing the ball around in the ballrace is wasted and exausted without producing any work. In a turbine vibrator, the turbine fits snugly in the housing and only a very minimal amount of air cna escape without producing any work. EFFICIENCY The turbine vibrator has a high effiency throughout it's life. Ball vibrators immediately loose speed and efficiency due to pitting of the ball and ballrace. An added plus to the turbine is that is does not require airline lubrication like the ball vibrator. NOISE Turbine vibrators maintain 70-75 dB throughout their entire life as compared to sharp increases in noise levels of ball, roller, and piston vibrators, reaching up to 100 dB and over. B: VIBCO SILENT TURBINE VIBRATORS CAN SAVE UP TO 56% OF THE AIR CONSUMPTION OF COMPETITIVE BALL VIBRATOR MODELS.

Ideal for rough applications or where moving machinery might damage external accessories. Eight sizes with forces to 900 lbs. Popular for air material-conveying systems, medium size batch hoppers, etc. Available in both aluminum and malleable castings. Click here for more technical information. MODEL BVS: THREADED EXHAUST VIBCO offers 10 models in the extra heavy duty BVS series. The use of non-lubricated air supply makes the BVS turbine vibrators perfect for applications in food and pharmaceutical (etc.) industries whre oil exhaust would be objectionable. Exhaust port is threaded for piping off of air exhaust in closed sanitized systems. Extra large amplitudes and wide range of sizes makes the BVS's ideal for quickly moving parts or materials. Click here for more technical information. MODEL CC HEAVY DUTY SERIES The only unit on the market that offers high force and absolutely quiet operation. Six units available. They all work on the patented turbine principle. Compressed air drives a specially designed turbine wheel, allowing the air to be channeled through the unit, then traveling through muffler pads, making them virtually noiseless. None of these units need lubrication, all are prelubricated for life. Oversized bearings give the units years of trouble-free service. Click here for more technical information. MODEL BBS & FBS The BBS Series are the smallest of VIBCO turbine vibrators, with versatile mount and aluminum housing. Never needs oil for continuous duty operation. The FBS Series are designed especially as a match plate vibrator for the foundry industry. For fast start, high RPM and force and low noise with a built-in muffler. The match plate vibrators to be used only for intermittent duty. How To Select Proper Vibrator - In Three Easy Steps See "SILENT" Turbine Vibrators in Action
