NAVCO manufactures over 70 different sizes and models of pneumatic piston vibrators for use in a wide range of bulk material handling and processing applications. NAVCO Pneumatic Piston Vibrator configurations are described below. .
- The Impacting model (IGO)
- The Silent model (SGO)
- The Timed Impact model (IGT)
develops a high amplitude repetitive impulse when the piston strikes the base of the bore sharply on each cycle. The piston is air cushioned at the head plate on the upward stroke. Energy is transmitted through the bin wall and into the material with each impact. Repetitive impacts allow the vibrator to overcome bulk material strength, affect a large area of influence, and reduce the wall friction. Impacting vibrators are ideal for bulk material that is cohesive or has poor flow characteristics. They are also effective for cleaning out adhering material from empty bins and process vessels.
generates a sinusoidal output by creating an air cushion at each end of the piston stroke. NAVCO Silent Pneumatic Piston Vibrators are effective where non cohesive or free flowing material requires only a small amount of energy to produce flow or linear motion is needed.
delivers a single, high amplitude impulse each time it is energized. They are operated by a control device that sends intermittent signals to the unit. The impulse of this unit is ideal for evacuating hoppers and process vessels. Specific advantages of the timed impact unit are low noise level, controlled impact, and low air consumption.
