Vibration Activated Hopper
Vibration Activated Hopper
The Vibration Activated Hopper is engineered to break arches and bridges in powder materials. Powered by a robust vibration motor, it delivers strong horizontal vibrations through a conical or spherical activator positioned at the hopper’s base. These vibrations decompose the excitation force into normal and tangential components—the normal force disperses through the material while the tangential force shears it—enabling a free-flow discharge akin to water.
Performance Characteristics
- Superior De-arching Efficiency:
Ideal for various powdery and granular materials in silos, ensuring continuous and uniform discharge. - Minimized Segregation:
Reduces the separation of particles with different sizes and densities during loading. - Dust-Free Sealed Conveying:
Installed at the silo outlet to maintain a complete seal, preventing dust escape and protecting the environment.
Applications
The hopper is effectively applied across diverse industries, including:
- Chemical Processing:Zinc oxide, magnesium oxide, strontium carbonate, calcium carbonate.
- Battery Manufacturing:Lithium battery positive and negative materials.
- Material Handling:Wood powder, flame retardants, modified plastics, blowing agents, ground urea, flour, activated carbon, protein powder, etc.
Installation and Maintenance
- Installation:
Mount the hopper at the silo outlet to ensure a tight seal between the hopper and the silo. - Maintenance:
Perform regular inspections and servicing of the vibration motor and activator to guarantee optimal performance.
Safety Precautions
- Ensure secure installation to prevent accidents.
- Regularly inspect the sealing system to avoid dust leakage.
- Follow the manufacturer’s guidelines for operation and maintenance.
