Pneumatic Linear Vibrator for Silo & Hopper Flow Aid – K Series

Product Description 

The K Series pneumatic linear vibrator is a reliable flow aid device for silos, hoppers, and bulk material handling systems. Using compressed air, the vibrator generates controlled linear vibrations that help detach compacted materials from silo walls and improve discharge flow.

The cushioned piston design provides smooth vibration with low noise, making the K series ideal for applications such as vibrating feeders, compacting tables, and bulk powder handling.

They are ideal for use in:

• Small hoppers and bins

• Conveying channels

• Vibrating feeders

• Packaging equipment

• Dust collectors

The cushioned design makes the K Series a reliable solution for continuous-duty applications where controlled vibration and reduced impact are required.

Key Features

• Cushioned internal piston for quieter operation

• Adjustable vibration frequency

• Compact and lightweight design

• Low air consumption

• Easy installation

• Suitable for continuous operation

Key Benefits

• Improves discharge of bulk materials in silos and hoppers
• Prevents bridging and rat-holing of powders and granules
• Smooth linear vibration with low noise (<80 dB)
• Compact and lightweight aluminum design
• Easy installation on existing equipment

These vibrators are especially useful for materials that stick to surfaces or become compacted during storage.

Typical Applications

K-Series pneumatic linear vibrators are commonly used in:

• Cement silos and storage bins

• Concrete batching plants

• Vibrating feeders and chutes

• Powder conveying systems

• Plastic pellet handling

• Grain and food processing equipment

These devices help maintain consistent material flow and improve productivity in bulk material handling systems.

How a Pneumatic Linear Vibrator Works

A pneumatic linear vibrator operates using compressed air that drives a floating piston inside the vibrator housing. The piston moves back and forth along a linear path, generating vibration that is transmitted to the equipment surface.

This vibration loosens compacted material and prevents buildup on silo walls or inside hoppers, allowing materials to flow freely during discharge operations.

FAQ
