Engineering Data

	Hoppers with Sloping Discharge To achieve sufficient vibration this type of hopper should have the vibrator located about 3' to 4' above the discharge opening.
	Bins or Hoppers with a Vertical Side The vibrator should be mounted on the sloping side approximately 1/3 the vertical distance from the discharge opening to the top of the slope as illustrated.
	Conical Bins or Hoppers The vibrator should be located between 1/4 and 1/3 the distance from the discharge opening to the top of the bin or hopper as shown. If two vibrators are necessary, the second one should be mounted diametrically opposite but 6" higher than the first vibrator.
	Rectangular Bins or Hoppers Mount the vibrator on the hopper centerline about 1/4 to 1/3 the distance from the discharge opening to the top of hopper. It is preferable to mount on a stiffener if one is present. One vibrator is usually sufficient, but if thorough cleaning is not attained, first- go to a larger vibrator for more impact; or second - mount a second vibrator directly opposite and at the same level.
	Parabolic Bins or Hoppers The vibrator should be mounted approximately 12" in vertical measure above the discharge opening as illustrated. One vibrator is generally sufficient for each discharge opening.
	Rectangular Bins with Hopper Discharge Vibrator mounting is the same for rectangular bins or hoppers as noted above. This type of bin however, will usually require more impact.
	Inclined Chutes For a steady flow of material mount the vibrator about 1/3 of the way up from the chute's lower end. Vary this location to determine the best results.
