Vibrating Internal Cones

Vibrating Internal Cone

In Vibrating Internal Cone, Vibration is transmitted by the pneumatic vibrator inside the cone. Material flow rates are controlled by how high the cone lifts, and when the cone is lowered to its seated position provides positive shut off. Material flow rate can also be controlled by pulsing the cone up and down. This can be controlled by cycle timers or by level probes downstream. The vibration tends to remove any air in the product and provides a constant bulk density which is important for any metering equipment below the vibrator. Discharge is complete, continuous, variable, quiet, and non-detrimental to the storage container. Most of these features are not possible with the other discharge aids on the market. The design is also such that with the cone in its lowered position, routine maintenance can take place even when the hopper is full of material.
