This Uras Vibrator powered screen was sent out to a customer who needed a way to remove coke dust from their manganese, which was being used in stainless steel manufacturing.

It includes polycarbonate inspection windows with a toggle clamp system for secure opening/closing, as well as a secure plate at the input that protects the screen from damage. Also included is a vacuum suction filter to remove extraneous dust from the final product.

The screen is powered by two KEE-45-6BW Uras Motors, and can handle a whopping 12 tons per hour.

Here’s the situation: you notice that your vibrator is making more noise than you expect, so you decide to open it up. When you do, everything seems normal…except the shaft moves when you touch it.  Not only does it move, it moves a LOT!

Faulty parts?  Nope!

What you’re experiencing is called “shaft play”.

This is a common concern among vibrating equipment users, but it is not an indication of anything wrong with the vibrator.

To handle the extra stress of vibration, the Uras Vibrators use specially designed bearings that are oversized and fall between C3 and C4 internal clearance. Both of those things translate to more axial motion and more noise compared to a standard motor of the same size. Further, you can rest assured knowing that everything is working as intended – we test each and every vibrator, running it for at least 30 minutes and listening for abnormal bearing sounds before we ship it out of our factory.

🎯safe and easy trough access to remove products that don’t pass inspection

🎯made from hygienic materials to lower risk of contamination

🎯steam jacket included, to prevent adhesive materials from sticking to the trough

🎯powered by the most reliable vibrator on the market

This vibrating feeder rolled out of our shop a little while ago, and while it looks inconspicuous, it had two features that greatly enhanced production and efficiency for our customer.

The first was the inspection port. Inspection ports are generally attached to a vibrating feeder securely with bolts, so as to prevent them from opening unexpectedly while the feeder is running. However, that means that while the feeder is running, the inspection port is inaccessible. You can see in, but in order to open it you must turn off the machine and unbolt everything in order to access the material inside the feeder.

Our client was running a process where that inconvenience was slowing down production considerably. They needed a hygienic way to both inspect and potentially remove inferior products easily and safely. So this time, the inspection port was bolted to the rolling frame. This allowed it to stay stable while the feeder was running. Accessibility was as easy as leaning over and opening the cover, even during run time.

The second feature was a steam jacket. While water cooling jackets are relatively common on equipment such as this, steam jackets are also extremely helpful in the food production sector. This jacket slightly heated up the trough, enough to prevent any of their product from adhering to it. This allowed a smooth feed, free from maintenance troubles.

Along with the easy open inspection port and steam jacket, this Vibro Feeder has a stainless steel Uras Vibrator for use with food products. Additionally, the trough is relatively narrow at 440mm/17.3inches, so it’s easy to open from either side.
