Pneumatic Ball Vibrator for Silos and Hoppers | S Series

The S-Series rotary pneumatic vibrator (ball type) is a compact flow-aid device designed for silos, hoppers, chutes, and bulk material handling equipment. The vibrator uses compressed air to rotate a hardened steel ball inside a precision raceway, generating high-frequency vibration that reduces friction and improves material discharge.

This type of pneumatic vibrator is particularly effective for fine powders and small granular materials, helping prevent bridging and buildup inside storage and conveying equipment.

🔹 Key benefits 

• High-frequency vibration for improved powder flow

• Prevents bridging and rat-holing in silos and hoppers

• Compact and lightweight aluminum body

• Low compressed-air consumption

• Suitable for outdoor and industrial environments

Ball-type pneumatic vibrators generate low-amplitude, high-frequency vibration, making them ideal for fine powders and granular materials.

Typical applications

S-Series pneumatic ball vibrators are commonly used in:

• Cement silos

• Concrete batching plants

• Vibrating feeders and screens

• Powder transport chutes

• Big-bag emptying systems

• Grain and food processing equipment

They are especially effective when handling dry powders and small granular materials such as cement, sand, seeds, and plastic pellets.

How a Ball Pneumatic Vibrator Works

The vibrator uses compressed air to rotate a steel ball inside hardened raceways. As the ball spins at high speed, centrifugal force generates vibration that is transmitted to the mounting surface.

This vibration reduces friction between bulk material and equipment walls, helping powders and granules flow freely through silos, hoppers, and chutes.
