Top 3 Advantages of Extreme Duty BH Vibrators vs Air Cannons
Extreme Duty BH Vibrators and Air Cannons (Blasters) are both used to promote material flow in heavy walled vessels such as bunker and chutes. Extreme Duty BH Vibrators are large pneumatic piston vibrators that utilize vibration to promote flow, whereas air cannons utilize high volume, high pressure bursts of air. While both types of equipment […]

What is a Pneumatic Piston Vibrator?
A pneumatic piston vibrator is a piece of equipment that is used to promote material flow by eliminating the formation of bridges and rat holes in storage containers such as bins, hoppers, bunkers, and silos. Air flowing through the alternating porting of the vibrator creates vibration. The size and porting of the vibrators can be […]
